    On the day Apple debuted the often-delayed white-colored iPhone 4, the company’s marketing department gave a nod to the product’s troubled history.
    “Finally.” read the big headline Thursday above a picture of the white phone on the homepage of Apple. com.
    The white model was supposed to ship alongside the black one at the iPhone 4’s launch（推出） last June. But design and manufacturing complications delayed the process by 10 months, catching Apple off guard, executives say.
    As CNN reported last month, earlier test models of the white iPhone 4 produced unclear photos, especially when the flash（闪光灯） was used. Its whiteness confused the proximity sensor （距离传感器） , which detects when the phone is held next to someone’s head and turns off the touch screen to save battery life.
    These problems weren’t present in older iPhones that came in white because they didn’t have flash photography; the proximity sensor was unaffected because the front side of previous models was black.
    “We thought we were there a year ago, or less than that, when we launched the iPhone 4, and we weren’t,” Philip Schiller, Apple’s chief marketing executive, said in an interview. “It’s not as simple as making something white. There’s a lot more that goes into both the material science of it —how it holds up over time…but also in how it all works with the sensors. “
    Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White predicts that the white model could help drive sales of Apple’s phones. He says Apple could sell 1 million to 1. 5 million every three months until the next iPhone model is unveiled, which is expected to be this fall.
    Forty-five people were lined up at Apple’s flagship New York store Thursday morning to buy white iPhones, according to a CNN Money report.

    My parents decided to make a trip to Beijing. When they told me their decisions, I was so delighted. But my mother became worried with her flower, for nobody would take care of it. Seeing the worrying expression on her face, suddenly I remembered that an article in a magazine I had read earlier. It’s suggested in the article that people used a piece of cloth to take care of their plants when you are away. On the day we set off, I found a piece of cloth and put one end of them into the basin, which is full of water, and the other end into the flower pot. Three days later, while we came back from Beijing, flower was still alive.

    Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
    The shoes — named Square Eyes — contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter(传话器) passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.
    The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”
    Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
    Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
    Existing pedometers （计步器） normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”

    1. 1.

      According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.

      1. A.
        keep a record of the steps of the wearer
      2. B.
        deal with overweight among teenagers
      3. C.
        enable children to resist the temptation of TV
      4. D.
        prevent children from being tricked by TV programs
    2. 2.

      Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?

      1. A.
        They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time.
      2. B.
        They determine a child’s daily pocket money.
      3. C.
        They have raised the hot issue of overweight.
      4. D.
        They contain information of the receiver.
    3. 3.

      What is stressed（强调）by health experts in their suggestion?

      1. A.
        The exact number of steps to be taken.
      2. B.
        The precise number of hours spent on TV.
      3. C.
        The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
      4. D.
        The way of changing steps into TV watching time.
    4. 4.

      Compared with other similar products, the new design ________.

      1. A.
        makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat
      2. B.
        counts the wearer’s steps through shaking
      3. C.
        records the sudden movement of the wearer
      4. D.
        sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver
    5. 5.

      Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

      1. A.
        Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time
      2. B.
        Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise
      3. C.
        Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise
      4. D.
        Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight
