However, by advantage of GSM which has many different elements to it, we can all enjoy the ability to go around the world in 217 countries, land in that country and know that a phone would work. There are other cell phone systems using different technology in the world. The majority of the
16、United States and parts of South America have been using something called CDMA which is very rare in Europe. In some Asian countries like China, GSM and CDMA both exist at the same time. But the GSM Association claims 85% of the global mobile phone market. They estimated there are now about 2.5 bill
17、ion different users who make more than 7 trillion minutes of calls everyday, and thats not all. 20 years later, the mobile phone is so much more than just a phone. You can use it to send text messages, take pictures, show video, even surf the internet. “The phone itself is involved from just being a
18、 communication tool, to be a tool for round-the-clock connectivity, you can not live without it even in a minute.” Mobile consultant Nick Lane also points out with so many customized styles and features, your mobile phone will become a symbol of you.

24、ou hand and foot Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How By being customers. The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof Just listen to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonalds ad: “We do it all for you.” Actu
25、ally, not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special. People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places dont have a “furniture street” or a
26、 “computer road” which allow you to compare prices easily. Instead, people often “let their fingers do the walking” through the store hot lines. From the first “hello”, customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help them decide where to shop. When customers
27、 get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers dont usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping a br
28、eeze. Customers usually dont have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. And unless theyre at a flea market or a yard sale, they dont bother trying to bargain. When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphys Law would have
29、 it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you” from the cle
30、rk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. That way, they dont have to carry heavy bags out to the car. 【小题 1】 By quoting (引用 ) the McDonalds ad: “We do it all for you”, the author intends to_. A suggest that customers believe what commercials say deepl
31、y B show readers the American idea on good customer service C express all the stores pay much attention to the customers D persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly 【小题 2】 In the USA, what may you do at first if you want to do some shopping A To visit a professional street with lots o

35、】 C 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didnt look like any doctor Id ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community. When Dr. Gibbs wasnt saving
36、 lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his lifes goal was to make it a forest. The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that waterin
37、g plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out(淘汰 ) the weaker trees early on. He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that werent watered had to grow deep roots in se
38、arch of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention.
39、Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Id watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. Theyre extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold
40、 wind although I had watered them for several years. It seems that adversity(逆境 ) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising
41、 and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think that its time to change my prayer(祷词 ) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship. 【小题 1】 According to Dr. Gibbs theories, trees will become weaker if they _. A are lack o
42、f care B are watered C are weeded out D are beaten 【小题 2】 According to Para.3 and Para.4, we can infer that Dr. Gibbs motto(座右铭 ) may be . A “Seeing is believing” B “Put everything in proper use” C “Practice makes perfect” D “No pain, no gain” 【小题 3】 The underlined word robust in Para.5 most probabl
43、y means _. A strong B strange C deep D old 【小题 4】 Which of the following may be the authors best prayer for his two sons now A I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky. B I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr. Gibbs in the future. C I wish th
44、em deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often. D I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter. 【小题 5】 Which of the following can be the best title of this passage A A Nice Doctor B The Deep Roots C Adversity and Suffering D My Chi
45、ldhood Memory 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 B A Charlotte, N.C., man was charged with first-degree murder of a 79-year-old woman whom police said he scared to death. In an attempt to evade policemen after a bank robbery, the Associated Press reports that 20-year-old Larry Whitfield
46、broke into the home of Mary Parnell. Police say he didnt touch Parnell but that she died after suffering a heart attack that was caused by terror. Can the guy be held responsible for the womans death Prosecutors(公诉人 ) said that he can under the states murder rule, which allows someone to be charged
47、with murder if he or she causes another persons death while committing or fleeing from a severe crime like robberyeven if he or she doesnt kill someone on purpose. But, medically speaking, can someone actually be frightened to death We asked Martin Samuels, chairman of the neurology department at Br
48、igham and Womens Hospital in Boston. Absolutely, no question about it. The body has a natural protective method called the fight-or-flight response(战或逃反应 ), which was originally described by Walter Cannon， the chairman of Harvard Universitys physiology department from 1906 to 1942. If, in the wild,
49、an animal is faced with a life-threatening situation, the autonomic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate, increasing blood flow to the muscles, and slowing digestion, among other things. All of this increases the chances of succeeding in a fight or running away from an aggressive beast. This process certainly would be of help to primitive huma
