Sina Weibo, one of the country’s most popular micro blogging sites,has launched a paid service．For a 10 yuan ($ l．57) monthly fee, users get a membership on their Sina Weibo accounts．

According to Xu Yuanyuan, a member of the marketing team at Sina, themove is to guarantee a more convenient and safer environment for users．But despite the company’s efforts to increase income, it seems that most of its 300 million users still prefer the free version．

The premium membership (高級會員) plans ,announced by the company on Monday, brought about negative comments from its users ．

“The current service is good enough for me”, said a Beijing based micro blogger．“I don’t really need those value added services and it might be a waste of money．I might consider paying for it if some more features are added．”

Dong Xu, an analyst with consulting firm Analysys International, said that Sina shouldn’t expect a great increase in income brought by the new services．The free services are enough for most users, Dong said．“The company has been making attempts at different profit models since last year．A potential source of income could be gaming．Games and advertisements are so far the two biggest sources of income．” she said．

Other micro blogging service providers have not yet followed suit．Fang Gang, vice president of rival Sohu, said via e mail on Tuesday that Sohu’s micro blogging service will never charge users．“It’s good news for us．Users can come to our website if they have to pay for services (at Sina)．” Fang said．

1.Most of Sina Weibo’s users______．

A．a(chǎn)ren’t satisfied with its free version

B．show no interest in its paid services

C．a(chǎn)re looking forward to new services

D．think highly of its new paid version

Many people believe that all ice cubes are created equal, but they are not. At least that’s what the folks at California’s Glace Luxury Ice Company would like us to believe. The Davisbased company says that the ice cubes they make are healthier and last longer than the ones that we throw into our drinks on a daily basis. What’s more, the company also says that their ice cubes do mot leave behind an aftertaste(余味)in drinks, like regular ones do.

In order to create these unique ice cubes, Glace Luxury begins with water that has been rid of the hazardous impurities(雜質(zhì))that the company says can lead to cancer and exist in regular ice. They then freeze it in large blocks. Once ready, the ice is carved into perfect cubes and each cube measures 2.5 inches across. Besides being healthier, these ice cubes apparently also take longer to melt. The company says that each ice cube can last up to 30 minutes.

Of course, those ice cubes do not come cheap. Those that wish to have a taste of this “tasteless” frozen perfection will have to pay $325USD for a bag of 50 ice cubes. That comes to $6.50USD for a single cube of ice!

The unique product is the brainchild of Robert Sequeira, a former business school lecturer who said that he wanted to establish a profitable business that could be easily scaled. Given that he can make as mush Glace Luxury ice as he needs for as little as $0.12USD per cube, he thinks that the idea certainly meets the standard. Now, if he can find that the few people can afford to buy this Glace Luxury ice, life would be great!

1.People at California’s Glace Luxury Ice Company probably want consumers to believe that _____.

A. ice cubes are healthy for people to use

B. their ice cubes add tastes to drinks

C. all ice cubes are created the same

D. their ice cubes are different

2.What does the underlined word “hazardous” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Active B. Regular C. Dangerous D .Powerful

3.Compared with regular ice cubes, the ice cubes created by Glace Luxury Ice Company_____.

A. taste much bette

B. look much more beautiful

C. have more different shapes

D. are healthier and melt more slowly

4.What does the author think of the ice cubes created by Glace Luxury Ice Company?

A. They will be a big success

B. They are too costly to make.

C. They are just regular ice cubes.

D. They are too expensive for consumers
