33、untry, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things.

The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell
35、to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize in inventing product names.

39、ies out.After shouting and shutting her door,she calms down enough to go through her notes.The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just saysOK,I got a nine. Wow.well done!I s ay,before she finishes with But I never get a ten! According to James,this obsession with getting top marks has
40、 been a bad develop ment,which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money.To test this,I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests.She looked at me as if I was thick.Well,if I dont get good grades,I wont be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff. I was
41、 quite surprised,because I dont consider myself a pushy parent.But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright.He points to the Danish system（体制） of education as a better model.Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than
42、high achievements at school or the needs of business. For me,I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle,recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules,yet I have lived a happy life.What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations,or how to avoid ge
43、tting into debt or how to develop good personality.
