Wrigley's Chewing Gum

One   Wrigley's chewing gum was actually developed as a premium to be given away with other products rather than as a primary product for sale. As a teenager, William Wrigley Jr. was working for his father in Chicago selling soap that had been manufactured in his cents, and this selling price did not leave a good profit margin for the merchants. Wrigley convinced his father to raise the price to ten cents and to give away cheap umbrellas as a premium for the merchants. This worked successfully, confirming to Wrigley that the use of premiums was an effective sales tool.    

 

It is NOT indicated in paragraph One that young William was working_________. 

in Chicago
for his father
as a soap salesman
in his father's factory

According to paragraph One , it is NOT true that the soap that young Wrigley was selling   

was originally well-liked.
was originally priced at five cents.
originally provided little profit for merchants.
eventually became more popular with merchants.

Two  Wrigley then established his own company; in his company he was selling soap as a wholesaler, giving baking soda away as a premium, and using a cookbook to promote each deal. Over time, the baking soda and cookbook became more popular than the soap, so Wrigley began a new operation selling baking soda. He began hunting for a new premium item to give away with sales of baking soda; he soon decided on chewing gum. Once again, when Wrigley realized that demand for the premium was stronger than the demand for the original product, he created the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company to produce and sell chewing gum.     

 

According to paragraph Two , it is NOT true that, when Wrigley first founded his own company,    he was___________.     

selling soap.

Three   Wrigley started out with two brands of gum, Vassar and Lotta Gum, and soon introduced Juicy Fruit and Spearment. The latter two brands grew in popularity, while the first two were phased out. Juicy Fruit and Spearment are two of Wrigley's main brands to this day.  

 

According to paragraph Three , the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company did all of the following EXCEPT ___.  

begin with two brands of gum
add new brands to the original two

请翻译以下的段落: 
在我看来,环境是一个人性格发展的决定性因素。也许有人会说人的性格是在出生的时候就形成的,但实际上还有很多因素会影响性格。如果一个孩子出生在贫穷的家庭,并且经常受到父母责罚,很可能会有悲观的性格。他的人生观很可能跟那些出生在幸福的家庭,经常受到父母鼓励的孩子不同。正因为如此,父母应该积极地参与到对孩子的教育中。
