Why Doesn’t Anybody Copy Apple?

Apple’s products are the envy of the world. They have been spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to compete．This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable．When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple’s products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?

I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it’s not successful; secondly, Apple’s success cannot be copied because it is a magical process．

There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price．Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it’s not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future．Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?

When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The climax of this hypothesis is the “chief-sorcerer” theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells（符咒）．

What about Apple’s own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. It’s a better explanation．Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort．A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted．There is no “move the Earth” panic to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft．

My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out． However, as Tim points out, it’s not a formula．It’s complex, it’s subtle, but it’s not magic．It’s a process that requires a degree of faith and courage．

1.When a new product of Apple comes out, often it ______．

A．ruins an industry dramatically

B．starts a revolution of an industry

C．puts itself in an unbeatable position

D．is soon overtaken by imitated products

2.According to the passage, other companies don’t “copy being Apple” because ______.

A. Apple is not a successful company

B. they have no access to relevant resources

C. It’s hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs

D．being Apple takes more than time and efforts

3.We can infer from Para. 5 that ______．

A．other companies are dedicated to integration

B．Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages

C．Apple will hold the leading position in this industry

D．other companies don’t have a great team as Apple does

4.What does the author think of Tim Cook’s statement?

A．Acceptable． B．Disappointing． C．Unquestionable． D．Convincing．

Last summer, when Amanda R of Anaheim Hills, California, was running on a cross-country course with her team, she blacked out. “I got really dizzy,” she says. “I was out for a few minutes.” At first, Amanda thought she was just tired and didn’t think she had a health problem. She did go to the emergency room, where she was fine after tests, but she fainted (昏厥) again several days later as she was talking with her coach. Another doctor guessed that Amanda had blacked out “because we were in heat so much with not enough water and not enough of the right kind of foods”.

Teens often don’t want to stop and take a break or don’t notice when they start to feel bad, doctors say. However, paying attention if you’re not feeling well is important, as Amanda learned.

As a result, Amanda has changed her habits. “I drink a lot more water,” she says. “And put more salt in my diet. I’m eating more balanced meals.” Amanda advises teen athletes to trust their coaches and speak up when they’re not feeling well. “And recognize the difference between when you’re tired and when there’s something really wrong.”

Some people － up to 3 percent of the population － sweat too much, even in cold weather. The condition, called hyperhidrosis (多汗), can affect many parts and it often runs in families － hands down from generation to generation. Too much sweating over the whole body could be a symptom of another medical condition. Doctors aren’t sure what causes hyperhidrosis, but using special medications or other treatments can help.

1.What caused the happening mentioned in the passage during Amanda’s running?

A. She couldn’t breathe in enough air in the race.

B. She didn’t eat anything before the race.

C. She had been running all summer without a rest.

D. She neither drank enough water nor ate enough of the right kind of foods.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. There is no need to worry when sweating too much, even in cold weather.

B. Hyperhidrosis may have a bad effect on your health.

C. Doctors have discovered why people get hyperhidrosis.

D. Hyperhidrosis is a serious disease and no treatment can help.

3.The purpose of writing this passage is to____________.

A. tell teens the proper ways to take exercise in summer.

B. tell teens not to run in hot summer.

C. tell teens to pay attention to hyperhidrosis in the summer exercise

D. tell teens how to keep healthy.
