Conversation Two

W: I'm so worried about Mark these days. Ever since he moved into his apartment, he has been losing weight. He really doesn't look well at all.

M: He should try to gain some weight. He is probably not eating enough.

W: Well, anyway, how is Tim these days？

M: Tim？ Oh, Tim has been worried, too. He is really getting much too fat. He needs to lose about 75 pounds now.

W: That's a lot of weight to lose. What does Tim eat？

M: I really don't know. But I am sure he is eating too much cake and candy.

W: Well, did I tell you Mark doesn't eat any meat now？ He only eats vegetables and fruit.

M : That's probably why he is so thin. Does he smoke？

W: Does he smoke？ About two packs of cigarettes a day. That's my son, a smoking vegetarian.

M: En, if he stops smoking, he would gain weight. I know he would. Tim put on a lot of weight when he stopped smoking.

W : Does Tim play any sports？

M: Play sports？ Oh, my! I keep telling him, "Tim, dear, you really need to get some exercise." And you know what he does？ He just gets angry.

W: I know Mark doesn't take exercise, either.

M: Did you tell him？

W: Of course, but you know what it is like being a mother of a 13-year-old boy. They just don't think they need your advice anymore. I wish Mark could find a nice girlfriend to relax and have fun with. I heard Tim has a girlfriend at last. That's wonderful.

When did Mark start losing weight according to the woman？

A.Since he found a girlfriend.

B.Since he took to heavy smoking

C.Since he began to exercise regularly.

D.Since he started to live on his own.

olleges strive for market share, they are looking for names that project the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make. Trenton State College, for example, became the College of New Jersey nine years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state.

"All I hear in higher education is, brand, brand, brand," said Tim Westerbeck, who specialises in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne, a marketing firm based in Chicago that works with universities and other nonprofit organisations. "There has been a sea change over the last 10 years. Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher education."

Not all efforts at name changes are successful, of course. In 1997, the New School for Social Research became New School University to reflect its growth into a collection of eight colleges, offering a list of majors that includes psychology, music, urban studies and management. But New Yorkers continued to call it the New School. Now, after spending an undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing consultants creation of "naming structures", "brand architecture" and "identity systems", the university has come up with a new name: the New School. Beginning Monday, it will adopt new logos, banners, business cards and even new names for the individual colleges, all to include the words "the New School".

Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived. In altering its name from Cal State, Hayward, to Cal State, East Bay, the university hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban countries east of San Francisco.

Beaver College turned itself into Arcadia University in 2001 for several reasons: to break the connection with its past as a womens college, to promote its growth into a full-fledged(完全成熟的)university and officials acknowledged, to eliminate some jokes about the colleges old name on late-night television and "morning zoo" radio shows. Many college officials said changing a name and image could produce substantial resuits. At Arcadia, in addition to the rise in applications, the average students test score has increased by 60 points, Juli Roebeck, an Arcadia spokeswoman, said.

According to Tim Westerbeck, colleges or universities changing their names to compete for market share______.

B．is actually a marketing strategy

C．reflects they don"t pay much attention to their inner quality

D．has positive influence on the development of higher education

BUT IT"S BEEN PROVEN NOT TO WORK SINCE 1958, WHEN YALE RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT THE TECHNIQUE ACTUALLY REDUCED A TEAM"S CREATIVE OUTPUT: THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE GENERATE MORE AND BETTER IDEAS SEPARATELY THAN TOGETHER. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PROFESSOR MICHAEL MUMFORD, HALF OF THE COMMONLY USED TECHNIQUES INTENDED TO SPUR CREATIVITY DON"T WORK, OR EVEN HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT.
