B. Read the following text, and answer the questions in brief (20 points).

Some of the most closely guarded secrets belong to large corporations. Computer companies
carefully guard their software, and most businesses protect the marketing information that they gather
about their customers. The most famous trade secret of all is the formula for the American soft drink,
Coca-Cola.
John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1885. Coca-Cola originally contained coca leaves, the same
plant from which cocaine comes, and an extract of kola nuts, which contain caffeine. These two
ingredients gave the carbonated drink its name. Present-day Coca-Cola has a non-narcotic extract of
coca leaves; for which the company has the only special permit from the U.S. government.
The exact formula for Coca-Cola is th oldest and most famous trade secret in the world. Various
recipes for Coke have been published, but the company insists that all of them are incorrect. Most
experts believe that the formula includes a citrus flavor, for example, from oranges or lemons, as well
as vanilla extract and spices, of which cinnamon and nutmeg are often mentioned.
Another mystery about Cake’s secret formula is the number of people who actually know the whole
formula. The original written formula is kept in the main vault of the Sun Trust Bank in Atlanta,
Georgia, the city in which the Coca-Cola Corporation has its headquarters. Only two executive have
access to the original formula in the vault, although other employees also know the formula.
Coca-colahas done such a good job of using its secret formula in its marketing that the formula has
become an icon of American culture. In 1985, the Coca-Cola Corporation tried to change the formula
to make Coke Sweeter in order to compete with Pepsi, which was increasing its market share. The
Coca-Cola Corporation tested the new formula extensively before trying to sell it. consumers greatly
preferred the taste of New Coke in blind taste-tests, where they did not know which cola they were
drinking. In public, however, the new product was completely rejected. Coke lovers publicly protested,
wrote letters, and even threatened lawsuits. The Coca-Cola Corporation gave up and went back to
selling Coca-Cola Classic, while New Coke disappeared.
With some secrets, it’s the mystery that attracts, rather than the information that is hidden. This may
be the case with the Coca-Cola formula, a secret that has made Coke the most popular soft drink in the
world.
