How to Manage Your Phone’s Data Use

Smart phones give you access to a wealth of information and media, but most networks put a limit on the amount of data you can use each month. A typical phone contract includes a data allowance of between 500MB and 10GB per month. 1. You see, your usage can mount up surprisingly quickly — watching a film on the phone is about 700MB in SD, an hour of streaming TV is around 500MB or 60-140MB for the same of radio, chatting on Skype for an hour is around 40MB. 2.

·If possible, wait until you can connect to free Wi-Fi before using your phone’s data features.

·When you are on the road, use your car’s GPS, not your phone, to find the way.3. But maps are preloaded in a GPS, making this free to use.

·4. Many of these are funded by ads that pop up on your screen. Every ad has to download through your network, using up your data allowance.

·If you regularly need to use a lot of data on your phone, consider a data-compressing(壓縮) app, such as Onavo(www.onavo.com).5. So you use less of your monthly allowance. You may have to subscribe to such compression services, so you’ll need to weigh up whether it’s worth the cost.

A. The more data, the higher the monthly cost.

B. Remember to use free Wi-Fi anywhere you go.

C. Try these tips to better manage your data use.

D. It compresses data before it is fed to your phone.

E. But you might end up paying more than expected.

F. The phone has to download map data as you move.

G. Be careful of how many “free” games you play on the phone.

11．It was a cold March day in High Point，North Carolina．The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice，stamping their feet to stay warm，Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered（發(fā)抖） a little as she watched her  teammate Paris White play．The two didn't know each other well-Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before．
      Suddenly，Paris fell to the ground，"Paris's eye rolled back，"Taylor says．"She started shaking．I knew it was an emergency．"
      It certainly was，Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure．Without immediate medical care，Paris would die．At first，no one moved．The girls were in shock．Then the softball coach shouted out，"Does anyone know CPR？"
      CPR is a life-saving technique．To do CPR，you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs．Without oxygen，the brain is damaged quickly．
     Amazingly，Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before．Still，she hesitated．She didn't think she knew it well enough．But when no one else came forward，Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR，"It was scary．I knew it was the difference between life and death，"says Taylor．
     Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down．One girl called 911．Two more ran to get the school nurse，who brought a defibrillator，an electronic devices（器械） that can shock the heart back into work．Luck stayed with them：Paris's heartbeat returned．
"I know I was really lucky，"Paris says now．"Most people don't survive this．My team saved my life．"
      Experts say Paris is right：For a sudden heart failure，the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly．
      Today，Paris is back on the softball team．Taylor will apply to college soon．She wants to be a nurse．"I feel more confident in my actions now，"Taylor says．"I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation．"

56．What happened to Paris on a March day？B
A．She caught a bad cold．
B．She had a sudden heart problem．
C．She was knocked down by a ball．
D．She shivered terribly during practice
57．Why does Paris say she was lucky？C
A．She made a worthy friend．
B．She recovered from shock．
C．She received immediate CPR．
D．She came back on the softball team．
58．Which of the following words can best describe Taylor？B
A．Enthusiastic and kind．
B．Courageous and calm．
C．Cooperative and generous．
D．Ambitious and professional．

4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
