Text 1: Unilever’s brand new identity
The UK based global foods and home and
personal care products manufacturing company recently
announced the launch of a new mission entitled
‘Vitality’ as the base of its future policy.
5 Central to the new direction are a Mission
Statement and logo. The new Mission reads,
“Unilever’s mission is to add vitality to life. We meet
the everyday needs for nutrition, hygiene, and personal
care with brands that help people feel good, look good
10 and get more out of life.”
Although the new brand logo forms an integral part of Unilever’s new
campaign, which was officially launched in May, it did not appear on the
company’s packaging until 1 July. The new logo tells the story of Unilever and
vitality. It brings together 25 different icons representing Unilever and its
15 brands, the idea of vitality and the benefits we bring to consumers and the world
we operate in.
“Our mission is full of promise for the future, opening up exciting
opportunities where we have competitive advantage for developing our business
and our new logo will help us confidently identify ourselves in every aspect of
20 our business,” explained Antony Burgmans and Niall Fitzgerald, the Chairmen
of Unilever worldwide. (From Britain Brasil magazine, p.7, July /August 2004)

Text 2: Primavera do Leste
Most towns or cities in Brazil usually take a strong pride in their historic
past and have at least a few old buildings or monuments standing witness to
earlier days. But in Primavera do Leste, a booming agribusiness town 230
kilometers east of Mato Grosso’s state capital, Cuiabá, the oldest historic
5 landmark you will find is a common filling station and truck stop with a banner
saying: “Where it all began”.
Where a few years ago there was virtually nothing but dust-covered
savanna and patches of stunted growth, thousands of acres of soy and cotton
fields now spread out as far as the eye can see, earning millions of dollars on
10 world markets and turning the still small city into one of Brazil’s latest new
economic hubs. Regional roads and telecommunications, however, are two
aspects local entrepreneurs and producers point out as very precarious, forming
obstacles to further growth seriously affecting production and marketing costs.
Founded only 17 years ago, everything in Primavera, as it is usually
15 referred to, is new - from its modern architecture to its growing population.
Only the very young can proudly say they were born here. Valentim
Martignano, one of the district’s oldest pioneers arrived here from Paraná state
some 22 years ago, “All I saw was a gas station, a general store six houses and a
lot of dust,” he recalls. Today the modern town boasts 50,000 inhabitants, and
20 projections by the Brazilian institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) are of
a population of 100,000 in five years’ time. (From UPDATE, by William Vanvolsen,

WHAT DOES YOUR DADDY DO?
It was the first day of school and the teacher thought she’d get to know

The first little girl said, “My name is Mary and my daddy is a postman.”
The next little boy said, “I’m Andy and my Dad is a mechanic.”
It was then little Johnny’s turn and he said “My name is Johnny and my
father is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men.”
The teacher gasped and quickly moved on, but later, in the school yard,
the teacher approaches Johnny privately and asks if it was really true that his
Dad dances nude in a gay bar. Little Johnny blushed and said, “Nah, he’s
actually an auditor for Arthur Andersen but I was just too embarrassed to say.”

Although only about one out of every 100 individual tax returns will be
audited in 1998, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is very good at selecting
returns for audit that will yield additional taxes. Nevertheless, if your return is

If you do not agree with the examiner’s report, you can meet with the
examiner’s supervisor to discuss your case further. If you still do not agree, you
have the right to appeal the findings through a separate Appeals Office. You can
also appeal to the U.S. Tax Court.
1. The author states that the examiner’s report might be
a) dishonest.
b) unofficial.
c) questioned.
d) irrevocable.
e) ambiguous.
