Comparisons.
1-) Read the text about Coca-Cola.
John Styth Pemberton first introduced the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, Georgia. It was
May of 1886 when the pharmacist made a brown-colored syrup in a kettle in his backyard. He first
“distributed” the new product by carrying Coca-Cola in a jug down the street to Jacobs’ Pharmacy. For
five cents, consumers could enjoy a glass of Coca-Cola at the soda fountain. Carbonated water was
added to the new syrup, producing a drink that was proclaimed “Delicious and Refreshing.”
Dr. Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name and wrote down
“Coca-Cola” in the handwriting that is famous worldwide today. Mr. Robinson thought that “the two C’s
would look well in advertising.” On May 29, 1886, the first newspaper advertisement, in The Atlanta
Journal, pronounced Coca-Cola “Delicious and Refreshing,” a slogan still used today.
In 1886, sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks per day. That first year, Dr. Pemberton sold 100
liters of syrup, shipped in bright red wooden kegs. For this, Dr. Pemberton received $50 but spent $73.96
on advertising. Sadly Dr. Pemberton was never able to see how famous his drink would become as he
died in 1888.
By 1891, Asa G. Candler, an Atlanta entrepreneur, had acquired complete ownership of the Coca-
Cola business for $2,300. Within four years, he was selling Coca-Cola in every state in the country.
The trademark “Coca-Cola” was first registered 1893. Early advertising discouraged
calling the product “Coke” and urged customers to use the full name. But “Coke” was here to stay and
became a trademark in 1945.
In 1894, they opened the first manufacturing plant outside of Atlanta in Dallas, Texas. In following
years plants spread to Los Angeles and Chicago.

DAYS AFTER MOTHER'S DEATH, OLYMPIC FIGURE SKATER PUSHES ON
Vancouver, British Columbia (CNN) — As 14,000 lumps formed in 14,000 throats, Joannie Rochette
took to the ice Tuesday night, just two days after her mother's shocking death.
She skated almost flawlessly, earning the third best score of the night in the Winter Olympics women's
figure skating short program. But the score really wasn't the most important thing to most people at
Pacific Coliseum.
“I watched her as she was about to skate and it looked like she was struggling emotionally,” said Bill
Thompson, chief executive officer of Skate Canada. “She just pulled herself together and put down a
performance that I think — where she came in is irrelevant — was so magical and so heroic.”
Rochette did not talk to the media after her skate, instead answering a few questions in private.
“I have no regrets,” she said, according to Michael Slipchuk, the high performance director for Team
Canada and a former Olympian. “It was a nice warm welcome [from the crowd]. It was hard to handle,
but I appreciate the support.”
Asked how she is feeling emotionally, she said, “Words cannot describe.”
1- ( ) Joannie Rochette was in shock after her mother’s death and it was impossible to compete.
2- ( ) She had a bad performance after receiving the sad news about her mother.
3- ( ) She could not explain her feelings.
4- ( ) The people in the crowd were sympathetic towards her.
