A smart phone (智能手機) is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing abilities than a common phone. The first smart phones enabled the users to send and receive emails. Later models added the function of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation (導(dǎo)航) units to form one multi-use device. Many modem smart phones also include touch screens and web browsers (瀏覽器) that display web pages.
A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smart phone. That doesn’t mean making calls, but playing phone games and browsing the Web.
Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant, taking a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during a conversation instead of traditional communication. It’s no secret that our lives are being affected by our smart phones obsession.
However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.
Ironically, YouTube’s data show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.
The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene Deguzman, shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of whom are absorbed in their phones instead of the world around them. To a certain extent, we all do it.
1.People prefer a smart phone to a common one, because the latter only can help us ______.
A. check emailsB. send messages C. find the destination D. watch a video
2.The underlined word “obsession” in the third paragraph most probably means “______”.
A. devotionB. contribution C. addictionD. emotion
3.Which of the following is right?
A. People spend as average of two hours and 40 minutes each day using smart phones.
B. The film hasn’t been put on in the cinema.
C. The film is written by an actor named Charlene Deguzman.
D. The film has already been viewed more than 105 million times in the first few days.
4.When the writer mentions the number of people watching the film from mobile devices in the fifth paragraph, he mainly feels ______.
A. encouraged B. depressed C. proud D. satisfied

The iPhone, the iPad, 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 was launched 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 targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected 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, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.
“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 we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads(一時的狂熱). 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 eventually disappeared.
1.People use iPlayer to ______.
A. listen to music
B. make a call
C. watch TV programs online
D. play computer games
2.We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is aimed at ______.
A. fashionable women B. young readers
C. old readers D. engineers
3. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are ______.
A. environmentally friendlyB. advanced
C. recyclable D. portable
4.The writer suggests that ______.
A. the popularity of “i” products may not last long
B. “i” products are often of high quality
C. iTeddy is a live bear popular in the US and UK
D. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device, and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by two guys out of their garage. So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a little leery of the security levels.
Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虛擬) shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.
Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for Internet shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund(返還) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!
There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line-ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.
When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies(速遞公司)getting in on the act, you never need wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.
No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.
1. The underlined word “l(fā)eery” means .
A. satisfiedB. distrustful
C. hopefulD. sad
2. leads to consumers’ trust in online shopping.
A. Shopping lawB. Shopping convenience
C. Internet accessD. Shopping security
3.Which group of words would the writer use to describe current Internet shopping?
A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal.
B. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient.
C. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow.
D. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable.
4. The following are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping
EXCEPT_________.
A. internet companies B. courier companies
C. advertising companiesD. credit card companies
