29、   Starbuck’s founder, Howard Schultz, came up with an idea for his coffee chain while drinking espresso(浓咖啡) in a bar. He took a good product, repackaged it and globalized it. But to many Italians, the coffee served by Starbucks and other branded stores is as far away from proper Italian coffee as you can get, despite the Italian-sounding offerings on their menus.

Now, I am part-Italian and like most Italians, I think that Italy represents the height of coffee culture, against the standard by which all coffee should be measured. My Italian friends and family hate the idea of adding a little sugar juice or other things to their valuable cappuccino(卡布基诺). I have a coffee machine at home, which is to the Italian kitchen what the kettle is to the British. As far as I’m concerned, the cappuccinos, lattes(拿铁) and espressos served in branded coffee chains taste bitter, a low copy of the real thing.

You’d never ask for a latte in Italy. If you did, you’d get served a glass of milk. Coffee and espresso are the same in Italy. Then there’s the Australian “white coffee”, a halfway house between a Starbucks-style latte and a macchiato(玛奇朵). The “white coffee” has gone global so much that recently it replaced the cappuccino on Starbucks’ menu in some parts of the US.

What’s more, Italians don’t waste time around in coffee shop armchairs drinking cappuccinos while surfing the Internet. Still, when it comes to taste, Italians are trying to reclaim the ground. Part of the problem is the price of coffee. Most Italian bars will not charge more than one euro a cup, which means there isn’t the choice to purchase more high-quality coffee. Italian flavor is held back by the way the coffee is boiled.

I still think I’ll be sticking to home-made coffee from my trusted machine. And I’ll continue to drink it in the Italian way.

【1】What’s the purpose of telling the story of Starbucks in Paragraph 1?

A.To introduce the topic of the passage. B.To introduce the history of Starbucks.

C.To present the standard of good coffee. D.To explain the key to the success of Starbucks.

【2】In the author’s opinion, the coffee served in Starbucks and other branded stores _______.

A.contains too much sugar juice B.represents the Italian coffee culture

C.is very different from that served in the US D.cannot meet the Italian standard of good coffee

【3】Italians prefer home-made coffee due to the fact that _______.

A.home-made coffee is much cheaper

B.they can produce proper Italian coffee at home

C.each family has a tradition to use the coffee machine

D.they can have access to the Internet when drinking coffee at home

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.

Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for  protection  from  his  creditors  via  bankruptcy,  and  with  the  help  of  Henry  Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.

Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the  “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of  American literature”.
