Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes, World Cup-winning football heroes, Muhammad Ali, hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world. But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach, Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in. Rudolph always said, ‘You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you'd walk around town with.' So they started making their own. In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes(釘),produced on the Dasslers' kitchen table.
On lst July 1924 they formed a shoe company, Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years. The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued. No one knows exactly what happened, but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women. The result was that Adolph left the company. His nickname was Adi, and using this and the first three letters of the family name, Dassler, he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too. At first he wanted to call it Ruda, but eventually he called it Puma, after the wild cat. The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years. Both companies were for many years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hip hop group, Run DMC, has even written a song called "My Adidas" and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten, but ever since it happened, over sixty years ago, the town has been split into two. Even now, some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to each other.

第2部分:閱讀判斷
16 B 從文章第二段的第一句話Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes, Muhammad Ali, hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.便可以判斷這句話是錯的,他們開始制作運動鞋的時間是從1928年開始,而不是從1 9世紀末開始。
17 B 第三段第一句話就說了兄弟倆的父親是個鞋匠,不是制球匠( ball maker)。
18 A 從第三段可以看到他們先是在自家的廚房里做運動鞋的。
19 B 請看第五段,雖然沒有人確切知道究竟發(fā)生了什么,但他們的家人暗示兩兄弟或是為了錢,或是為了女人而發(fā)生爭吵,并非是為了鞋子。
20 A 從第五和第六段可知,兩兄弟反目后各自成立了自己的公司,即Adidas和Puma。
21 C 文中沒有提到過Nike公司。
22 B 從最后一段可以看出,鎮(zhèn)上的人至今沒有忘記兩兄弟之間的爭吵。這段的第一句話The terrible family argument should really be forgotten的意思是這場“一家人之間的爭吵應(yīng)該被遺忘”,但后面緊接著說自從60年前發(fā)生此事以后,鎮(zhèn)上的人就分成了兩派??梢婃?zhèn)上的居民至今還相互耿耿于懷。
