15．The iPhone，the iPad and the iPod．Each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fashion．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer，which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet，adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear （popular in the US and UK ） that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper came out last week under the name"i"．
In general，single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．
Most"i"products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's"i"，it is no surprise that they've chosen this fashionable name．
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"or"c"instead？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Mr．Thorne told BBC Magazines，"Even when Apple created the iPad，it seems it didn't have one clear definition．"
"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability （輕便），"adds Thorne．
Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and they love personalized products for this reason．
Along with"Google"and"Twitter"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20words that have come to define the last decade．
But as history shows，fashions come and go．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern．However，as we entered the new century，the trend inevitably disappeared．
12．People use the iPlayer toD．
A．listen to music   
B．make a call   
C．read newspapers 
D．watch TV programs online
13．From the passage，we know that the Independent's"i"is aimed atB．
A．old readers      
B．young readers 
C．fashionable women 
D．engineers
14．Nowadays，the"i"term often reminds people of the products which areA．
A．portable      
B．a(chǎn)dvanced       
C．recyclable      
D．environmentally friendly
15．The author of the passage would probably agree thatC．
A．"i"products are often of high quality
B．a(chǎn)ll"i"products have something to do with Internet
C．the popularity of"i"products may not last long
D．the iTeddy is a live bear．

10．But while the constant repetition（重復）might be boring for mum or dad，it is the best way for toddlers （初學走路的孩子） to learn new words，according to a research．
The findings suggest parents are wasting money by spending a lot of money on huge book collections in the hope that they will inspire their children．
Instead，a small selection of favorites such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar or The Gruffalo will achieve far more．
Dr Jessica Horst of the University of Sussex's Word Lab carried out an experiment to check how quickly three-year-olds could recognize and recall（記起） six new words．
The children were visited three times in a week at their homes．One group heard the same story three times back-to-back each time and another was read three different stories．All had the same amount of new words which appeared the same number of times．
When researchers returned a week later，they found the children who heard the same story over and over had typically（通常）learned 3.6of the new words．
Those who heard different stories remembered only 2.6．They also noted the‘repetition'group learned at a faster rate than those in the‘variety'group．
Dr Horst said："We are showing that less is more，to a point（在某種程度上）．Obviously，the more times you read to a child and the more books you have will help them．But you don't need to go crazy and buy every single Thomas the Tank Engine book．Reading the same books over and over again helps．"
Previous（以前的） studies have found parents spend just 49minutes doing things with their children each day．One in three don't read to their children before putting them to bed at night．Yet 30minutes of one-on-one literacy （一對一的讀寫能力） activities can improve reading age by nearly two years in less than five months．

28．Why do some parents buy lots of books for their children？B
A．They have got a lot of money．
B．Those books will be good for children．
C．Huge book collections will be cheap．
D．Children don't like a small selection．
29．What can we conclude from the experiment？A
A．The variety group learned fewer words．
B．The repetition group read more stories．
C．The variety group recalled words quickly．
D．The repetition group learned more slowly．
30．What do we know from the last paragraph？D
A．Parents needn't spend time with their children．
B.30minutes of reading activities is useless．
C．Reading age depends on children's night activities．
D．Reading to children each night is helpful for reading age．
31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？C
A．The Repetition Group and the Variety Group．
B．Why Should Parents Buy Huge Book Collections？
C．The Best Way to Help Children Learn New Words．
D．Thirty Minutes of One-on-one Reading Activities．
