For many people, the name Baskin-Robbins is linked to sweet memories of eating ice cream.Irvine Robbins, who helped create this famous company, died in May at the age of ninety.His life"s work of making fun and exciting ice cream flavors changed the way Americans enjoy this food.
Irvine Robbins opened his first ice cream store in 1945 in California.At the time, there were no stores that sold only ice cream.His sister"s husband, Burton Baskin, also opened his own ice cream stores.
In 1948 they combined their six stores into one business.Baskin and Robbins realized that they were too busy to operate each store well.So, they decided to sell part of each operation to the manager of that store.This permitted the company to grow quickly.
By 1953, they renamed their company Baskin-Robbins.They advertised that they sold 31 kinds of ice cream to show the many choices buyers had.There was one flavor for every day of the month.
Robbins and Baskin sold "Lunar Cheesecake" the day after astronauts landed on the moon in 1969.Other flavors included "ChaChaCha", for cherry chocolate chip, and Robbins" personal favorite "Jamoca Almond Fudge".They said: "We sell fun, not just ice cream."
By 1967, there were 500 Baskin-Robbins stores in the United States.The business partners sold their company that year.Today, there are more than 5,800 Baskin-Robbins stores around the world.

One day, a young man was cleaning out his late grandfather’s belongings when he came across a bright red envelope. Written on the front were the words, "To my grandson." Recognizing his grandfather"s handwriting ,the young man opened the enbelope. A letter inside read:
Dear Ronny, 
Years ago you came to me for help .You said, "Grandpa, how is it that you"ve accomplished so much in your life? You"re still full of energy, and I"m already tired of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you"ve got?"
I didn"t know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered, I figure that I owe you an answer. So here is what I believe.
I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it "keeping your eyes wide open."
First ,realize that life is filled with surprises, but many are good ones .If you don"t keep watching for them, you"ll miss half the excitement. Expect to be thrilled once in a while ,and you will be.
When you meet up with challenges, welcome them. They"ll leave you wiser ,stronger, and more capable than you were the day before .when you make a mistake ,be grateful for the things it taught you .Resolve to use that lesson to help you reach your goals.
And always follow the rules. Even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life works. If you think you ever really get by with breaking the rules, you"re only fooling yourself.
It"s also important to decide exactly what you want. Then keep your ming focused on it, and be prepared to receive it.
But be ready to end up in some new places too ,As you grow with the years, you"ll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be ready for endings as well as challenging beginnings.
Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar .Life isn"t just reaching peaks, Part of it is moving from one peak to the next .If you rest too long in between, you might be tempted to quit .Leave the past in the past .Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.
Dump things that weigh you down emotionally and spiritually. When an old resentment, belief, or attitude becomes heavy ,lighten your load. Shed those hurtful attitudes that slow you down and drain your energy.
Remember that your choices will create your successes and your failures. So consider all the pathways ahead, and decide which ones to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going.
And be sure to take breaks once in a while .They"ll give you a renewed commitment to your dreams and a cheerful, healthy perception of the things that matter the most to you .
Most important of all. never give up on yourself. The person that ends up a winner is the once who resolves to win. Give life everything you"ve got, and life will give its best back to you.
Love always,
Grandpa

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
  Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
  Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”.
But in memoir(回忆录) after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
The way people stick to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.
小题1:What does the author want to tell us? He wants to tell us             .
A.he lives in Hollywood, so he feels not happy
B.the true meaning of happiness
C.in fact, famous people are not very happy
D.happiness is not equal to fun
小题2:What is many intelligent people’s viewpoint about happiness?
A.Happiness just means having fun.B.Happiness is not equal to fun.
C.Happiness means doing what you like.D.Happiness means being rich.
小题3:What does the underlined word “equate” in the second paragraph mean? It means    .
A.compareB.think
C.similar or connectedD.match
小题4:According to the passage, the author may agree        .
A.amusement park can bring us happiness
B.fun will bring some happiness to us
C.pain will bring us happiness
D.efforts can bring us happiness

If you are a woman interested in law enforcement (执法), note that some states and cities are working hard to reach   58  standards for female applicants.Although most small suburban police departments are deeply traditional, and some are   59  even to employ woman, among the nation’s largest forces about 15 percent of the officers are female, five times as many as a generation ago.
Degrees in sports management are also   60 .Two hundred U.S colleges and universities, 10 times as many in 1985, now   61  undergraduate courses in sports management, and some have advanced degree programs.At some school you can also combine an MBA in sports management with a law degree.
