    ①It’s “laughably absurd” on one blog and a “magical revolution” on another．Bloggers are talking about the same device—the Apple iPad, which hit store shelves last week．
    ②Tech-heads hate the iPad because it has many functions—you can e-mail, browse the Web, read books—but it has no specialty．There are other devices on the market that do all its functions faster, cheaper and more efficiently．Get a Blackberry to scan e-mails or any old laptop to access the Internet．
    ③This first version of the iPad lacks many basic features．Tech-heads dislike the device not because of what it offers, but because of what it doesn’t offer．It doesn’t have Flash, and it doesn’t have a camera．It can’t access many of the world’s mobile applications, and it has a very restricted apple store．Based on purely technological grounds, the iPad is said to lack more than it gives．
    ④But if you are not a crazy tech-head, and you love the iPod and iPhone, “this device is for you,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO．The iPad will take online activities truly mobile．It will allow you to read the news in bed, check a recipe in a busy kitchen or view a large-scale Google map．
    ⑤Perhaps most important to the masses, it is a traditional computer without trouble．There are wireless, but it’s totally mobile．You press a button and it comes on in seconds．To add a program, you just download it from the Internet．Since almost everyone uses a computer in the office or at school, the need for the traditional desktop model at home is disappearing．Slate Magazine’s Farhad Manjoo calls the iPad the perfect alternative to the home computer system．
    ⑥But no matter how you feel about the iPad, as a tech-head or an everyman, there’s no arguing with its appeal．Love it or hate it, the iPad sold over 600,000 units on its opening weekend, surpassing the iPhone’s record sales in 2007．
    1．What can be the best title for the text?
    A．Loving and hating the iPad      B．An exciting invention
    C．A home computer substitute       D．The iPad—a wise choice
    2．According to the text, which of the following is Not true of the iPad?
    A．It can access the Internet．         B．It is wireless but portable．
    C．It can play any online video．      D．It can help you scan e-mail．
    3．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
    4．Farhad Manjoo’s attitude towards the iPad might be that of ______．
    A．doubt      B．unconcern       C．sympathy     D．support
    5．Tech-heads dislike the iPad because of ______．
    A．its after-sale services              B．its high price
    C．its function shortages   D．its slow speed

    MONEY – SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD
    Every time you visit Disney World, there’s something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high – tech, movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom . Each time the park expands（扩大）, so do your chances to spend money. How can you save ? As a family guide to Disney World, I've been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and I've developed a few money-saving tips for you.
    ●Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass. Even if you're visiting for fewer days , it's a deal （The pass costs $ 229 for visitors aged 10 and up , $ 183 for kids aged three to nine and is free for kids under age three）. Without the pass , you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks . A single trip to Blizzard Beach , for example , would cost a family of four $100.
    　　●　Dine out at Lunchtime. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants , especially those in Epcot's World Showcase , are much lower at noontime than at any other time. It's wise to make reservations（预定）before you leave home . Call 407-W-DISNEY .
    　●　Become a Gold Card Member.  For $ 65 , you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card （call 1-800-56-DISNEY）. Cardholders get up to 20% off Disney hotel rooms , plus prices on character breakfast , theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores .
    　●　Don't Pay Extra to See a Character.  Character-theme dinner shows are expensive , costing a family of four about $ 140 , and even a character breakfast , where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes , can set you back $ 50. If your budget (预算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows . You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show , for example , in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost , while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue needs expensive tickets .
    　●　Wait Until the End of Your Trip to Buy Souvenirs.  By then , the kids will really know what they want , and you won't waste money on expensive things .
    67．If you are short of money, the writer suggests you should not        .
    A．buy things for the kids from Disney stores.
    B．buy souvenirs at the beginning of the trip
    C．make a trip to Blizzard Beach
    D．have your meals out at noontime
    68．Which of the following can be used in place of “set you back”
    A．offer you  B．save you   C．return you D．cost you
    69．You should pay more money if you         .
    A．have a five – day All – One Hopper Pass while you’re visiting for four days.
    B．do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance..
    C．are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder.
    D．have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase
    70．In the writer’s opinion, the better way of meeting the Disney cartoon character is        .
    A．to have a character breakfast
    B．to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show
    C．to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks
    D．to attend the Hoop – Dee – Doo Musical Revue
