PART B_2

In the early 1980s, the Coca-Cola Company, otherwise known as Coke, was nervous about its future. Once, it had been the dominant soft drink in the world, but Pepsi had been slowly catching up to coke. In 1972, 18 percent of soft drink users drank only Coke while Pepsi had 4 percent. However, Coke dropped to 12 percent whereas Pepsi had risen to 11 percent by the early 1980s.

Pepsi then began running television advertisements and went head-to-head with Coke called the Pepsi Challenge. Dedicated Coke drinkers were made to take a sip from two glasses, each marked with Q and M. Most of them preferred M, which was revealed to be Pepsi.

Coke privately did a similar blind taste test on its own. The result was the same: 57 percent chose M over Q. This was devastating news for the Coca-Cola Company.

PART B_2

Katsushika Hokusai, a Japanese genius
A famous magazine in the U.S. featured the top 100 most important people of the past 1,000 years in 1998. One of them is Katsushika Hokusai, a famous ukiyo-e artist during the Edo period. The famous French painter Edgar Degas once said, “Hokusai is not just one artist among others in the ‘Floating World.’ He is an island, a continent, and a whole world in himself.”

The works of Hokusai and others were first introduced to Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century. They had a great influence on Western art, which became known as Japonism. Another French artist, Félix Bracquemond, came across prints of Hokusai Manga around 1856. Paintings in Europe were usually about war, religion, and important people. Hokusai Manga, on the other hand, included all kinds of things, like common people, small creatures, imaginary animals, and ghosts.

Many artists were influenced by the works of ukiyo-e and Japanese art in general. Vincent van Gogh was a great fan of Japanese art; he collected hundreds of ukiyo-e paintings and used them as backgrounds for some of his paintings.

Roots & Shoots
Jane Goodall is famous for her works on chimpanzees. She decided to go to Africa after reading the Doctor Dolittle and Tarzan books. When she was 11 years old, she knew she would somehow end up in Africa to live with animals, study them, and publish books about them. To understand animals, Goodall advises us to watch and observe their behavior. She also said, “It is important that you take notes and ask questions.”

Chimpanzees and humans have a lot in common. They learn much in their childhood like us, and chimp families are very close, often helping one another. They can also feel sad, happy, afraid, and angry.

Chimpanzees are generally friendly, but they can be cruel. For example, the males patrol their territories, sometimes attacking chimps from another community. However, they are also capable of showing compassion. A three-year-old chimp named Mel lost his mother and was left all alone, but a 12-year-old male chimp named Spindle took care of him. He let him ride on his back and share his nest at night.
