Must-See Attractions
Bangkok
is
sometimes
referred

as
the
“
Venice of

East
”
because

of
canals, so take a boat tour to see
sights like the Khmer wats
(
僧院
) and the riverside
houses.

exploring
the
city,
you’ll
definitely
want
to
sample
some
of
the
street
food
options
—
often
fresher and more unique than in the surrounding
restaurants! To get a dose of Thai culture,
visit the Wat Arun, the Grand Palace,
Wat Parkeaw, and Wat Pho.

When
the
weather’s
hot
,
do
you
enjoy
a
glass
of
Brad’s
Drink
while
watching
your
TV
made
by
Tokyo
Telecommunications
Engineering, and
surfing
the
web
using
a
search
engine
called
BackRub?
No?
Neither
do
I.
That’s
because
all
th
ese
companies
have
changed
their
names.
Brad’s
Drink is now Pepsi
. The mouthful that
was Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering
has become, simply, Sony. And BackRub
is now known as Google. Though I must admit, the
idea of a back massage does sound good
right now!
Joking
aside,
choosing
the
right
name
for
your
start-up
is
a
serious
matter.
Think
of
the
case of a small Canadian company called
Research in Motion, who in 1998 had just developed
a
high-tech mobile phone that could
send emails.
They were torn
between names like MegaMail and ProMail. Then they
sought the help of
consulting
firm
Lexicon,
who
specialize
in
brand
names.
They
had
other
ideas.
They
brainstormed words
connected to enjoyment and freshness. Someone
said.
Lexicon’s boss added
two
capital letters, and there you have
it: BlackBerry was born. Since
then it
has sold over 33 million handsets to customers
around the world. Would it have sold as
well if it was called MegaMail? Who
knows?
Recently, BlackBerry sales have
been overtaken by Androi
d phones and
Apple’s iPhone
.
Lexicon’s founder David Placek is a big
fan of simple brand
names like those
Apple chooses:
the iPhone. They l0ok a
household word and by putting one letter in font
of it, it ends up being
game changing.
So,
for
all
you
entrepren
eurs(
企业家
)out
there,
make
sure
you
allow
time
to
develop
a
catchy
and
memorable
name.
Think
about
what
makes
your
company
different.
What’s
your
USP (
独特的销售主张
) ?
Maybe you can reflect that in your name.
What about you? What would
you call a company if you had one?

I love going out with my mate Jerry.
People stare at him with admiration. Some even ask
for his signature.
But Jerry
isn’t famous
. He just bears a
resemblance(
长得像
) to someone
who
is the actor Daniel Radcliffe. Yes,
Harry Potter himself! And it has a magical effect
on people!
I
told
Jerry
he
should
be
a
twin
model.
That’s
what
Pauline
Bailey
did
.
She
decided
to
replicate (
模仿
)
Marilyn Monroe’s image after she was told she bore
a likeness to the star
.
Bailey says:
“I bought
books and started reading about
Marilyn. I realized we had a similar
upbringing, so I had an
affinity(
亲近感
) with her. Then
people started saying when I went to
places that I looked like her.
I didn’t realize you could make a
living out of
it
.
”
Now the
blonde(
金发的
) model gets jobs
through a specialized agency. She jumps out of
cakes, allowing men to live the fantasy
of meeting the late goddess of the silver screen.
But
not
everybody
profits
from
the
lookalike
business.
Iranian
actor
Mahmoud
Basiri
claims his likeness to a
famous person cost him eight years of earnings. He
happens to be the
spitting image of
former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He
was told in 2005 that he
could only
work with the leader’s agreement
. So
will Ahmadinejad ever give his agreement to
the actor to play him? Don’t hold
your
breath
—
Basiri specializes in
comedy!
But
overall,
a
resemblance
to
a
popular
artist
is
a
good
thing,
isn’t
it?
The
biggest
challenge must be to keep the illusion
going
—
for example, by
gaining or losing weight if they
do.
However,
Pauline Bailey thinks it’s
impor
tant to keep a sense of yourself.
She says:
“I’m
very much an
individual person, away from Marilyn. I think you
could lose yourself very easily
being
someone else all the time and lose your own
identity
”
.
I
asked
Jerry
if
he
thinks
impersonating
Daniel
Radcliffe
professionally
could
go
to
his
head. I worried that all
the adulation(
恭维
) might
change him and make him leave me behind.
“
No
way,
”
he said.
“
We do everything
together.
”
What
about you? Which celebrity would you like to be
the spitting image of?
13. Why do some
pe
ople ask for Jerry’s
signature
?
A. They think
that he is admirable.
B.
They mistake him as Daniel Radcliffe.
C. They think he has magic power.
D. They take him for Harry
Potter.
14. What can we
learn about Pauline Bailey?
A. She
looks like Marilyn Monroe.
B.
She is Jerry’s
girl
friend.
C.
She has a twin sister.
D.
She is a famous film star.
