For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The Brands (品牌) Lost in Translation Chinese brands are moving into foreign markets as never before. The way they (1)_____ (perceive) when they arrive depends not just on the quality of their product but also on their name. A few companies are already mastering foreign branding. Haidilao, a restaurant chain (2)_____ (specialize) in spicy soups, has started using the word Hi as a simplified name at its overseas shops. Pop Mart, the toy company which makes the sensational Labubu dolls, looks right at home in America or Europe. These are the few (3)_____ . _____ are getting it right. Many others struggle.
