The United States is a federal union of 50 states. The capital of national government is in Washington D. C. ( District of Columbia). The federal constitution sets up the structures of the national government and lists its powers and activities. The constitution gives Congress the authority to make laws which are necessary for the common defense and the good of the nation. It also gives the federal government the power to deal with national and international problems that involve more than one state. All powers that are not given to the federal government by the constitution are the responsibility of the individual states.
The federal government has three branches - the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. The legislative branch makes the laws, executive branch carries out the laws, and judicial branch interprets the laws. The President heads the executive branch and the Supreme Court heads the judicial branch. The legislative branch includes both houses of Congress—the Senate and the House of Representatives. The constitution limits the powers of each branch and prevents one branch from gaining too much power. For example, Congress can pass a Law the President may sign it. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court can declare the law unconstitutional and nullify it.
All government in the United States is" of the people, by the people and for the people". The people elect the President and the members of Congress. However, the President appoints the heads of federal departments and the Supreme Court judges. Every citizen votes in secret. Consequently, no one knows for whom and individual votes. The people believe that their government should provide a framework and order within which they are left free to run their own lives.
The capital of the United States lies in ______.

A:the state of the Columbia- B:none of the fifty states C:the state of New York D:the state of Washington

Kite flying is the sport of sending up into the air, by means of the wind, a light frame covered with paper, plastic or cloth. The flame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been developed to serve various purposes.
The ancient Chinese used bird - kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of bird - like wings, it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modern version is usually made of tissue - paper rather than the traditional silk:
Man - lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps. In fact, as recently as WWII, German U -boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites, which are no longer in existence, were made of light - weight cloth. They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design, however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size, this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond - shaped frame, no wings and brown - paper covering.
Box - kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today. The first box - kite, named for its box - like body, was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton- covered kite greatly assisted the success of early airplane. These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box - kite, which consists of two main sections, placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind, it is the only modern kite described which has practical value. A long - lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite, which carries fishing lines.
The ancient Chinese bird - kites were usually made of light frames covered with ______.

A:silk. B:paper. C:cloth. D:plasti

The word brand is a comprehensive term that encompasses (包含)other narrower terms. (46) A brand differentiates one sener’s products from those of competitors. A brand name consists of words, letters, and/or numbers that can be vocalized. A brand mark is the part of the brand that appears in the form of a symbol, design, or distinctive coloring or lettering. (47)
A trademark is a brand that is given legal protection because, under the law, it has been appropriated by one seller. (48) All trademarks are brands and thus include the words, letters, or numbers that can be pronounced. They may also include a pictorial design. Some people erroneously believe that the trademark is only the pictorial part of the brand.
One major method of classifying brands is on the basis of who owns them—producers or middlemen. (49)
The terms national and private have been used to describe producer and middleman brand ownership ,respectively. (50) To say that the brand of poultry (家禽)feed marketed in three states by a small Birmingham, Alabama, manufacturer is a national brand, whereas the brands of Penhey’s or Sears are private brands, stretches the meaning of the terms national and private.

• E. Sunbeam, Florsheim, Spalding ( athletic products), and Sara Lee are producers’brands, while Allstate, Shurfine, Sysco, Craftsman, and Penncrest are middlemen’s brands.
• F. Among various methods of classifying brands, the one based on ownership is widely accepte
