　　Phone producers show us every year some really superb concept phones and even if 99％ of those phones never see the production line, they give us a small glimpse(一瞥)of what the phones will look like in the near future．We’ve made a list of what we think are the coolest concept phones presented in 2010．This is not a top, so the order is random(隨機(jī)的)．Oh, and one more thing, remember, these are concept phones, which means they are not in production and are not for sale, so please don’t ask us where you can get them and what the prices are．

　　1．LG Flutter Concept Smart-phone

　　The LG Flutter has a face like the iPhone．The only difference is that the LG Flutter looks more like a fan or a killer’s tool which we see in sci-fi movies．

　　In spite of this, this design does seem fit for the future of mobile phones but looks a bit difficult to use．

　　2．Nokia 888 Communicator

　　The phone has an amazing design．You can fold it in many ways according to your needs．You can wear it as a bracelet(手鐲), roll it, bend it, and wear it as a clip on your clothes．

　　Nokia 888 Concept is mostly targeted at teenagers that are very active and take part in a lot of different activities．

　　3．Window Phone

　　It is a product to throw on the face of the shameless weather officials．Whenever they predict sunny day be sure it would rain．So we have thought of gifting them this：“Window Phone” that makes accurate predictions and even changes its display(顯示)according to the climate condition outdoors．

　　4．Nokia Morph

　　The Nokia Morph is created by Finnish company Nokia．The concept was the product of a joint study by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Center．

　　The phone could be bent into numerous shapes, so it can be worn around the wrist(手腕)or held up to the face．The transparent(透明)phone would allow it to be see-through yet functional．It has a self-cleaning surface that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone battery(電池)．

　　5．Clover Phone

　　On looks it is just another ordinary phone type, but made in recycled material, which allow the device to be upgraded to meet the latest advancements in technology．We guess the green aspects on the high-end tech will be a selling point for this phone．

　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

　　Time talks. It speaks more plainly (明白地) than words. Time communicates(交流)in many ways.

　　Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.

　　In the United States . it is not customary(通常的，習(xí)慣的) to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving (刮臉) or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent (緊急的) and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

　　The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises (出現(xiàn)) between people from cultures (文化) that treat time differently . In the United States, people tend (趨向于) to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one can not escape. As a rule, .Americans think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections (段) , which are to be kept separate… “one thing at a time” . Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment (約會(huì)) with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.

　　Americans look ahead and are concerned(與……有關(guān)系) almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving (牽連) many centuries. Since time has much different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

(1) According to the passage, an announcement made during the day in a factory must be very important because ____.

[　　]

A．it interrupts the work of all employees

B．it is made by the manager

C．it makes everyone lose his job

D．it communicates in many ways

(2) In the United States, a phone call made after 11:00 p. m. is considered ________ in the view of the writer.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)s important as one made in the morning

B．impolite since it disturbs the receiver's sleep

C．to be a threat (恐嚇) to the receiver's life

D．even more urgent than one made early in the morning.

(3) An .American may feel angry if ________.

[　　]

A．he is to deal with many things at one appointed time

B．people from different cultures misunderstand him

C．he cannot escape from something fixed in nature

D．others do not keep things separate

(4) The expression “the foreseeable future” could be most suitably replaced by ________.

[　　]

A．the future that will not be far away

B．the future that one looks forward to

C．the future toward which one makes progress

D．the future which involves centuries

(5) The writer concludes that people of different countries will understand each other better if ________ .

[　　]

A．they know how to communicate with each other

B．they are concerned with the future

C．they learn the way time communicates

D．they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differently

閱讀理解：

　　The word "hello" is probably used more often than any other one in the English language． Everybody in the United States and elsewhere uses the word, again and again, every day of the week．

　　The first thing you hear when you pick up the phone is "hello" unless the caller is an Englishman, who might say, "Are you there?"

　　Where did the word come from? There are all sorts of beliefs． Some say it came from the French, "ho" and "la" "Ho, there!" This greeting may have arrived in England during the Norman Conquest in the year 1066．

　　"Ho, there" slowly became something that sounded like "hallow", often heard in the 1300's, during the days of the English poet ,Geoffrey Chaucer．

　　Two hundred years later, in Shakespeare's time, "hallow" had become "halloo"． And later, sounds like "halloa", and "halloo" were often used by sailors and huntsmen． "Halloo" is still used today by foxhunters．

　　As time passed, "halloo" and "halloa" changed into "hullo"． And during the 1800's this was how people greeted each other in America．

　　The American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, is believed to be the first person to use "hello" in the late 1800's, soon after the invention of the telephone．

　　At first, people had greeted each other on the telephone with "Are you there?" They were not sure the new instrument could really carry voices．

　　Tom Edison, however, was a man of few words． He wasted no time． The first time he picked up the phone he did not ask if anyone was there． He was sure someone was, and simply said, "Hello．"

　　From that time on only about 100 years ago, the "hullo" became "hello", as it is heard today．

　　Strangely enough, when the first telephone system was put in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1878, people did not say "hello" or "hullo" or even "halloo"． They answered the phone the way sailors hail a ship, "Ahoy, anoy there!" Thank God, that telephone greeting did not last long．

　　Of course, there are other ways Americans greet one another． Not long ago, people often said, "How are you ?" when they first met someone． This later became "hiyah"． Then, someone thought that two syllables were too much and "hiyah" became "hi"． Laziness is a strong force in changing language．

　　Answering a telephone call in America still presents problems, however． Telephone companies think that Thomas Edison's short "hello" is too long． Why waste time? The phone companies say． Simply pick up the phone, give your name, and start talking．

1．The word "hello" came from ______．

[　　]

A．an unknown origin　　 　B．old English

C．the German　　　　　　　D．the French

2．The writer thinks that, if used on the telephone, "Ahoy" is a word that ______．

  [ ]

A．sounds sincere

B．is pleasant to the ear

C．sounds sincere

D．sounds awkward and unsuitable

3．Expressions like "hello" and "hi" have entered the English language because short words ______．

[　　]

A．sound better

B．save the speakers time and energy

C．add varieties to the language

D．express the meaning more clearly

4．According to telephone companies, the best way to answer a telephone call is ______．

[　　]

A．to say "hello" to the caller

B．to say "hi" to the caller

C．to start talking immediately

D．to listen without saying anything

5．The topic sentence in the last but one paragraph is " ______ ．"

[　　]

A．Of course, there are other ways Americans greet one another

B．Laziness is a strong force in changing language

C．Not long age, people often said, "How are you?" when they first met someone

D．Then, someone thought that two syllables were too much and "hiyah" became "hi"

閱讀理解：

　　Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat(詐騙)．Either way, it could be the perfect crime(犯罪)，because the criminals are birds homing pigeons!

　　The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car：if you want the car back, pay up．Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside．Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off．

　　There have been at least-four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa．What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind－one that avoids(避免)not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place．Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick：he gets money for things he cannot possibly return．Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad(啟事)in the newspaper asking for help．

　　The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned．Also, the amount of money demanded under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars seems too little for a car worth many times more．

　　Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story．And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal．“We have more important things to do,” he said．

(1)

told the press about it

[　　]

one of those who put the ads in the paper

C．

one of the policemen is Changwa

D．

the owner of the pigeons

(3)

The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show ________．

[　　]

A．

B．

what Chen thinks might be correct

the thief is extremely clever

the money paid is too little

criminals

pigeons

D．
