7．The iPhone，the iPad：each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad（一时的风尚）． Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"？and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer？which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet？adopted the title in 2008．A lovely bear？popular in the US and UK？that plays music and video is called"iTeddy"．
A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i"．
In general，single-letter prefixes （前缀） have been popular since the 199Cb，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．
Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's i，it s no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i"．Why not use"a"，"b"，or"c"instead？According to Tony Thome，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous．When Apple uses"i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thome told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn't have one clear definition，"he says．
"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability （轻便?）．"adds Thorne． Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．
Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason． Along with"Google"and"blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words
that have come to define the last decade．
But as history shows，people grow tired of fads．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modem．However，as we entered the new century，the trend inevitably disappeared．
66．People use iPlayer toC．
A．listen to music                                    B．make a call
C．watch TV programs online                           D．read newspapers
67．We can infer that the Independent's"i"is aimed atA
A．young readers                                      B．old readers
C．fashionable women                                  D．engineers
68．The underlined word"ambiguous"means"B"．
A．popular         B．uncertain        C．definite        D．unique
69．Nowadays，-the"i"term often reminds people of the products whichA．
A．portable                            B．environmentally friendly
C．advanced                             D．recyclable
70．The writer suggests thatD．
A．"i"products are often of high quality
B．iTeddy is alive bear
C．the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products
D．the popularity of"i"products may not last long．

1．The Washington-based think tank's （智囊机构的）"Vital Signs 2007-2008"report points out global patterns ranging from rising meat consumption to Asian economic growth are linked to the broader problem of climate change．"I think climate change is the most urgent challenge we have ever faced，"said Erik Assadourian，director of the Vital Signs project．"You see many trends in climate change，whether we are talking about grain production which is affected by droughts and flooding．Or meat production as livestock production makes up about 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions（排放），"he told reporters in a telephone interview before the report's release．
Assadourian said the key message of the report was that unsustainable consumption patterns were responsible for climate change linked to carbon emissions and other ecological woes．He said of the 44 trends tracked by the report，28 were"pronouncedly bad"and only six were positive．The trends range from the spread of avian flu（禽流感） to the rise of carbon emissions to the number of violent conflicts．The growing use of wind power is among the few trends seen as positive．
Some of the points highlighted in the report include：
--Meat production hit a record 276 million metric tons （43 kilograms or 95 pounds per person） in 2006．
--Meat consumption is one of several factors driving rising soybean demand．Rapid expansion of soybean plantations in South America could displace（挤走） 22 million hectares （54 million acres） of tropical forest and savanna （热带草原） in the next 20 years．
--The rise in global seafood consumption comes as many fish species become scarcer．
Other analysts and think tanks have focused on different trends they say mean less cause for alarm．For example，they point out that while more wood is being removed from forests on a global scale，many parts of Europe and North America have experienced reforestation in recent decades．

5．When Charles Stratton was five，he stopped growing．His mother took him to see the famous showman，P．T．Barnum．Mr．．Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show．He hired Charles'parents along with him，and they traveled the world together．
He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name，General Tom Thumb． He taught Tom how to sing，dance，act and tell jokes．When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage，he made up ads．To stir up great interest，he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England．

The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town．They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about 2000guests．Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding marriage．The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon just before going to live in Tom's house in Connecticut．

6．This Monday，the nation will start to celebrate Presidents'Day，just seven days before George Washington's birthday．Everyone agrees that day is a holiday，but is it just to celebrate George Washington's Birthday？What about Abraham Lincoln？Some government offices call it Presidents'Day．Others say the holiday is officially Washington's Birthday．Confused yet？
George Washington was elected the country's first President on April 30，1789．Soon after，Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday．Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington's birth is February 11，1732．But a change in the calendar system 20years later shifted all dates，making Washington's birthday February 22，which is now well accepted．In 1879．Congress made Washington's birthday an official federal holiday．It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual's birthday．In 1968，Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act，which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February．The new law did not change the holiday's name．It was still called Washington's Birthday，even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents'Day to include Abraham Lincoln，whose actual birthday is February 12．
Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents．They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves．Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington．the country's first President．They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country．
Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term"George Washington's Birthday．"but none of those laws have been passed．Meanwhile，many state governments and school districts now use the term"Presidents'Day．"Many store use it to promote holiday sales．
