A mobile phone service which makes your handset (手機) scream when it's been stolen has been started, with its makers claiming it could put an end to mobile theft altogether.
The Remote XT system uses software to link customers' mobile phones directly to a secure remote server, which stores all their data from phone numbers to text messages and e-mails. If the owner's phone is lost or stolen? he can dial a 24-hour call centre and have it registered as stolen. The handset is then disabled, and cannot even be used if a new SIM card is put in. At the same time, the system sets off an alarm sounding like a highpitched (聲音尖銳的) scream, which can only be stopped by removing the battery.
Existing data is also wiped off the phone but, because the information has been stored centrally, it can be retrieved as soon as the victim gets a new phone, the system design-ers said.
“By making mobiles unusable to anyone but the rightful owner, the phones become worthless and we will see the market for sto-len handsets stopped once and for all, ”said Mark Whiteman, managing director of Re-mote XT. “Such phones cause disaster for the huge criminal industry that has profited from mobile theft for too long. ”
For the moment the system is aimed at business customers and comes with a fee of 9. 99 pounds per month, possibly available to the majority of average user within two years as mobile technology advances.
According to the latest UK government statistics, mobile phone theft has risen 190 per cent in recent years, with one third of all UK robberies now only involving mobile phones. It's estimated a mobile handset is stolen every 12 seconds in Britain costing UK consumers around 390 million pounds ($ 735 million) every year.
(1) The passage mainly focuses on________.
[ ]

Kenya is the first country to protect elephants by text messages. Mobile phone SIM cards are inserted(插入) in the collars of elephants. The cards will send a text message when the elephants wander too close to farms, allowing wildlife protectors to drive them off rather than shoot them.
Hungry elephants cause big problems for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya when they are searching for food. Two years ago the Kenyan wildlife service had to unwillingly shoot five elephants who continued to destroy crops.
In order to prevent such bad activities, the Elephants charity put a mobile phone SIM card on a huge bull elephant called Kimani. The conservationists(自然保護者) then set up a virtual(虛擬的) fence. Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to farmers. So far he’s been stopped from going into the danger area fifteen times.
The project seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn’t come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been put into operation in another part of the country.
One of the biggest benefits of the project is that elephants seem to learn from one another, which can help a whole group change their habits.
The elephants can also be tracked using Google Earth software. This is also helping the protectors know where to use their resources to protect the animals well.
【小題1】Elephants often cause problems in Kenya, because ______.
| A．they are attacked | B．they are angry |
| C．they are sad | D．they are hungry |
| A．The protector. | B．The writer. |
| C．The elephant. | D．The conservationist. |
| A．the text messages are of little help to the wildlife protectors |
| B．the project has worked out to be a great success in Kenya |
| C．a mobile phone SIM card has been put in all the elephants |
| D．the project has been introduced to all parts of the country |
