         Yasuda is 95 years old. He and his colleagues, looking for easier ways to search the Web and
    send e-mail, represent a potential market for Apple (AAPL)'s iPad. The company has sold 3.27
    million iPads since its launch in April, but doesn't break down sales figures by customer age, making
    it impossible to know with certainty how many old people are buying them. However, evidence
    suggests it's popular with the old.
         The iPad's intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to old citizens around the world, says
    Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyo: "The iPad is a good tool for the elderly
    because it's very forgiving of mistakes." Miura's team uses computers to help train senior citizens to
    rejoin the workforce.   "Unlike the PC, it doesn't require previous(先前的) knowledge," he says.
         James Cordwell, a technology analyst at Atlantic-Equities in London, says the iPad's popularity
    with the elderly is helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of younger customer. "The world's
    population, especially in developed markets, is getting older, and it's probably a market where Apple
    has least entered," Cordwell says. Elderly users are "a key source of growth for them in the future."
    The elderly in Japan, who make up an estimated 22 percent of the population, may prove particularly
    quick to accept the iPad. They spend more than any other group in the country except for those under
    30, according to a report by Japan's Cabinet Office. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman,
    bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent against dementia
    (痴呆). "Trying new things like that is a good mental exercise," he says.
    1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The iPad was only intended for elderly people.
    B. The use of iPad requires previous knowledge.
    C. The use of iPad is mentally useful to the old.
    D. Only the elderly in Japan can use iPad.
    2. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
    A. The old get a bit strike from the iPad.    
    B. The iPad causes a heavy burden to the old.
    C. The iPad is accepted by the old.          
    D. The old are very familiar with the iPad.
    3. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the iPad over the PC?
    A. It has intuitive interface.                  
    B. It is easier to operate.
    C. It is more accessible to beginners.          
    D. It is a good mental exercise.
    4. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. The old are the largest consumers in Japan.
    B. The iPad is traditionally accepted by the young.
    C. The old in Japan are fond of latest hi-tech products.
    D. The old customers will soon replace the younger ones.
    5. What could be the best title for the passage?
    A. The iPad Leads Apple to the Elderly
    B. Ipad Hits Japan's Store Shelves
    C. Ipad's Arrival in Tokyo Causes Japanese to Excite
    D. AAPL Tries to Balance the Old and the Yong

        We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee.When
    it was introduced,most people did not like it as well as "regular" coffee and it took several years to gain
    general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point,though,instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity
    and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth)．. After a while people became attached to
    one brand,sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline (衰退) when freeze
    dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).
         The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this:Different stages in the product life cycle
    call for different strategies.The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline.One
    strategy is called market modification.It means that marketing managers look for new users and market
    sections.Did you know,for example,that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally
    designed for the military?
        Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for
    a different market,such as senior citizens.A marketer may re－position the product to appeal to new

    market sections.
        Another product extension strategy is called product modification.It involves changing product quality,
    features,or style to attract new users or more usage from present users.American auto manufacturers are
    using quality improvement as one way to recapture (夺回) world markets.Note,also,how auto
    manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.

    1. According to the passage,when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product,its
        sales will________.
    A. decrease gradually  
    B. become unstable
    C. improve enormously  
    D. remain at the same level
    2. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is________.
    A. usually introduced to satisfy different tastes
    B. often more expensive than old ones
    C. often inferior to old ones at first
    D. not easily accepted by the public
    3. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to________.
    A. work out marketing policies
    B. promote its production
    C. increase its popularity
    D. speed up its life cycle
    4. The author mentions the example of "backpacks" (Line7,Para.2) to show the importance of _____.
    A. increasing usage among students
    B. pleasing the young as well as the old
    C. exploring new market sections
    D. serving both military and civil needs
    5. In order to recover their share of the world market,US auto makers are________.
    A. improving product quality
    B. re－positioning their product in the market
    C. modernizing product style
    D. increasing product features

         Christmas came in extravagant(奢侈的) fashion to the Muslim desert emirate(酋长国) of Abu
    Dhabi as a shining hotel uncovered a bejeweled(饰以珠宝的) Christmas tree valued at more than
    11 million dollars on Wednesday.
        It is "the most expensive Christmas tree ever" with "a value of over 11 million dollars", said Hans
    Olbertz, general of Emirates Palace Hotel, at its inauguratuion(落成典礼).
        The 13-metre (40-foot) evergreen, located in the gold hall of the hotel, is decorated with silver
    and gold bows, ball-shaped decorations and small white lights. But the necklaces, earrings and other
    jewellery hung around the tree's branches are what give it a record value. "It holds a total of 181
    diamonds, pearls, sapphires and other precious stones," said Khalifa Khouri, owner of Style Gallery,
    which provided the jewellery.
         "The tree itself is about 10,000 dollars," Olbertz said. "The jewellery has a value of over 11 million
    dollars-I think $1,141,150."
        "This will probably be an entry into the Guinness book of world records," Olbertz said, adding that
    Emirates Palace planned to contact the organization about the tree which is to stay until the end of the
    year.
        Asked whether the tree might be against religious sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates, where

    the vast majority of the local population are Muslim, Olbertz said he did not think it would. "It is a
    liberal(自由的) country," he said.
        The hotel has had a Christmas tree up in previous years, but this year "we have to do something
    different", and the hotel's marketing team hatched the plan, said Olbertz.

    1.    Why is the Christmas tree said to be "the most expensive Christmas tree ever"?
    A. Because the cost pf planting and decorating the tree is too high.
    B. Because the tree itself has a value of more than 11 million dollars
    C. Because the tree has unique religious sensibility in the United Arab Emirates.
    D. Because the jewellery hung around the tree's branches gives it a record value.
    2.    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The tree is located in the gold leaf-bedecked hall of the king's palace.
    B. The tree is decorated with jewellery whose value is over 11 million dollars.
    C. The tree has been an entry into the Guinness book of world records.
    D. The tree is sure to be against religious sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates.
    3.    The underlined word "hatched" in the last paragraph probably means "___".
    A. worked out                      
    B. turned out
    C. looked out                        
    D. broke out
    4.    Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
    A. Christmas coming in extravagant fashion
    B. The precious jewellery hung around a tree
    C. The most expensive Christmas tree ever
    D. the United Arab Emirates, a liberal country

    A．How a good teacher acts in class
    B．Acting:natural expression of fixed words and movements
    C．Teaching:a studentcentered creative process
    D．Similarities between teaching and acting
    E．Differences between teaching and acting
    F．A good teacher,not necessarily a good actor



    1.              
    To be a good teacher,you need some of the gifts of a good actor:you must be able to hold
    the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker,with a good,
    strong,pleasing voice which is fully under your control；and you must be able to act what
    you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.
    2.                
    Watch a good teacher,and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class:he
    stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about,using his arms,his hands and fingers
    to help him in his explanations,and his face to express feeling.Listen to him,and you will
    hear the loudness,the quality and the musical note if his voice always changes according
    to what he is talking about.
    3.                 
    The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he
    will indeed be able to act well on the stage,for there are very important differences
    between the teacher's work and the actor's.The actor has to speak words which he has
    learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part,
    and even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand.
    What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the
    stage.
    4.                  
    A good teacher works in quite a different way.His audience takes an active part in his play:they
    ask questions,they obey orders,and if they don't understand something,they say so.The teacher
    therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience.He cannot learn his part by heart,but
    must invent it as he goes along.
    5.                   
    As a good teacher presently,you must take your audience as your friends,take care of them,help
    them and give them enough freedom and space.I have known many teachers who are fine actors
    in class but are unable to take part in a stage play because their brains can't keep discipline:they
    cannot keep strictly to what another has written.

         If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her
    nose, a totem design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your
    opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
         In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin. On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight,
    flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So
    when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file
    off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful. It
    is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to
    become an adult.
         In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Padaung". They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that
    you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But
    you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck,
    tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Padaung woman will wear her
    neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
        So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
    1. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?
    A. Women's design.      
    B. Beautiful body decoration.
    C. Attractive decoration.  
    D. Body decoration.
    2. What does the underlined word "trolley" in the first paragraph mean? 
    A. handbag        
    B. luggage      
    C. shopping cart      
    D. basket
    3. On Bali, it is believed that _____________.
    A. a person with sharp teeth looks ugly    
    B. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
    C. a teenager's teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
    D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
    4. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.
    B. Many people think that woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
    C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
    D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.
    5. What is the best title of the passage?  
    A. Who Is a Beautiful Woman?           
    B. Inner beauty
    C. Different Ideas about Beautiful        
    D. Body Decoration

         Back in the 1970s,the robots were coming for our boring manufacturing (生产) jobs.Now,they're
    coming for our boring table service jobs.Korean company ITM Technology has developed the restaurant
    concept around a little robot that fulfills the role of a waiter.Robo Cafe avoids ordering errors,reduces
    staffing costs greatly for restaurant owners,and even brings the boss all the tips.
         Japan is preparing for some very tough times ahead.When its aging population become too old to
    work,labor is going to be in severe shortage.So inventive technology departments are exploding with really fascinating ideas to take the pressure off when it hits.
         To small cafe and restaurant owners,the solution might well look something like Robo Cafe,a restaurant designed to operate as efficiently as possible with the absolute minimum human workforce possible.The
    building needs to be designed with small horizontal (水平的) pathways leading from the kitchen to all the
    tables.A small team of waiter robots can then get around to every table in the house when they're asked to come.Customers can either order orally,or touch a screen on the robot's belly.When the kitchen has
    finished preparing the food,the robot brings it out to customers.
         Dan Carlin talks about the "kitchen of the future ",where everything is automated and the labor is free
    because you own it.Really,the_kitchen_of_the_future_is_actually the_kitchen of_the_past,when you
    consider that throughout human history,there have been many examples of slaves working for no pay.
         As Carlin points out,today's concept of slavery is mostly restricted to nonhumans.And the ownership of robot labor in a Robo Caf ?type situation will almost certainly prove itself far more economical and
