April will bring a new product-the Apple Watch-into the market．Last week，the watch was firstly introduced by Tun Cook，Apple's CEO．The price of the watch will differ from 349to1，099，depending on its size，strap and whether it is a sports or regular style．
Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this"small screen"on your wrist（手腕）．The"sensor"on the screen not only detects your finger，but knows the difference between when you are tapping，and when you are pressing harder．
The watch also has"hal）tic feedback（触觉反馈）"．You can send personal messages to your friend-such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers，or tapping the watch，say 3times，and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist．
Besides telling the time，the watch will use bluetooth'to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in．
According to Tim Cook，the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of．Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch．A Hotels'app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card．And finally，even airlines are jumping in-passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight．
The biggest use of the watch，however，is as your personal fitness coach．The watch can measure your pulse （heartbeat） using a sensor at the bottom of the watch．It also has the same"accelerometer"as your iPhone，so it knows when you are moving，and also how much you are walking or running，It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity．
Many stores are planning to stop selling FitBit devices（设备） to welcome the Apple Watch．Will Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun？

8．Now telephone，television，radio and the Internet all help people communicate with each other．As a result，ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world．For example，within seconds，people can know who wins the vote in another country．An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a TV set．When an earthquake or a flood happens in some places，news of these disasters can bring help from distant countries within hours．Help is on the way．Because of modern technology like the satellites （人造卫星） that travel around the world，information travels fast．
How has this speed of communication changed the world？To many people，the world has become smaller．Of course this does not mean that the world is really becoming smaller．It means that the world seems smaller．Two hundred years ago，communication between two countries took a long time．In the 17th and 18th centuries，it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America．This time difference influenced people's actions．For example，a fight，or a war in 1812between England and the United States could have been avoided （避免）．A peace agreement had already been signed （签署）．Peace was made in England，but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America．During these six weeks，the large and serious War of New Orleans was fought．Many people lost their lives after the peace agreement had been signed．In the past，communication took much more time than it does now．
With the help of modern technology，it's much easier to get more information within a short time．Our lives are becoming faster and faster．
