The iPod Has Turned Apple into a Superbrand
No single brand could be compared to Apple's iPod, which is expected to be the hottest gift over the holiday season. In the three months to December 31st, Apple sold 14m digital music players, compared with 4.5m in the same period in 2004.

That is why millions of people said they wanted an iPod for Christmas, and not a digital-music player from another manufacturer—even though rival players are often cheaper than iPods. and generally have more (31) .
During the years it (32) in Microsoft's shadow, Apple (33) from having a distinctive, counter-cultural brand. But given its dominance in digital music, where it is anything but the underdog, how long can Apple keep its cool？

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Yoga induces a feeling of well-being in healthy people, and can reverse the clinical and biochemical changes associated with metabolic syndrome, according to results of studies from Sweden and India. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity and high blood sugar.
Dr. R.P. Agrawal, of the SP Medical College, Bikaner, India, and colleagues evaluated the beneficial effects of yoga and meditation in 101 adults with features of metabolic syndrome. In the study, 55 adults received three months of regular yoga including standard postures and Raja Yoga,while the remaining received standard care.
Waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar, and triglyceri HDL cholesterol levels were higher in the yoga group as compared joumal Diabetes REsearch and Clinicat Practice.
In the second study, published online December 19 in BioMed Central Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Dr. Anette Kjellgren from the University of Karlstad, Sweden and colleagues evaluated the beneficial effects of yoga-like breathing exercises on healthy volunteers.
55 adults were advised to practice "Sudarshan Kriya," which involves cycles of slow, normal and rapid breathing exercises. The exercises were practiced for an hour daily, six days a week for six weeks, while 48 controls were advised to relax in an armchair for I 5 minutes daily.
At the end of the study period, feelings of anxiety, stress and depression were significantly lower and levels of optimism significantly higher in the yoga group compared to the control group, Kjellgren and colleagues report.
Yoga induces a "relaxation response" associated with reduced nervous system activity and a feeling of well-being probably due to an increase in antioxidants(抗氧化剂) and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇 ), they suggest.
Yoga not only helps in prevention of lifestyle. diseases, but can also be "a powerful adjunct therapy when these diseases anse,” co-investigator Dr. Faahri Saatiglou, from the University of Oslo, told Reuters Health. "We do not emphasize this point enough in our Westem health care."
The studies of yoga from Sweden and India have shown that __

All of 06 seems to make my daughter’s school neither fish nor fowl when 07 comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids. At one 08 , the advantages and disadvantages are obvious. A grade system provides a straightforward 09 by which to measure how your child is progressing at school —— and how he or she is getting 10 compared to other children.
But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, “Grades can deceive,” The aim should be "to measure learning, not 11 what a student can recall on a test. ” The two aren’t the same — and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down 12 any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations.
If you're old 13 , you've lived through this debate before. At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided. The intention 14 that may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the 15 to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition.
This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different reasons. The thing is, that approach is much more 16 in the adult workplace than is the traditional pass-fail system we place on our children. Many workplaces 17 regular employee evaluations. There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those evaluations — and even then, negative evaluations can be 18 by the employee. No matter 19 you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it's so good for kids, why isn't that also true for 20 ?
