【题目】Facebook is now used by 30 million people in the UK,about half the population.

Joanna Shields,vice president of Facebook Europe,made the announcement this morning at a media conference in London.

She said: "We can announce today that we have reached 30 million in the UK,which we are really excited about."

Globally,Facebook has more than 500 million registered users,a milestone it hit last summer.Last July,it also revealed that it had 26 million registered UK users.In the last eight months,it has attracted four million extra UK users,bringing the UK total to 30 million,while in January 2009,Facebook had only 150 million registered users.

Last year,Zuckerberg,Facebook's founder,said it was "almost a guarantee" that the site would hit one billion users.He explained: "If we succeed in innovating,there is a good chance of bringing this to a billion people...it will be interesting to see how it comes true."

One third of women aged 18 to 34 check Facebook when they first wake up,before even going to the toilet,according to research.Twenty-one per cent of women aged between 18 to 34 check Facebook in the middle of the night,while 42 per cent of the same group think it is fine to post drunken photos of themselves onto the social network,a study by Oxygen Media found.

Shields was speaking this morning at the Financial Times Digital Media and Broadcasting Conference about the power Facebook's referrals can bring to media sites,such as newspapers and TV services.

She explained that the average Facebook user has 130 friends who they share links to media sites with on a regular basis."Media companies which take advantage of that are really seeing the benefits",Shields said.

【题目】A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces(鞋带)that could be taken off when users click their heels together.

Its been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFlys Nike boots in the film Back to The Future.

Now,self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year,proving right one of the films fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.

Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up,adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.

Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the ‘smart shoe’ when your foot is in position,triggering(触发)a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.

When you want to take off the shoes,you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring(弹簧)in the shoes tongue,which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off.

And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk.

Engineer K1evis Ylli,of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany,said the shoes could help a variety of different people.

One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,he said.But it could also work for children,or as a lifestyle product.

The design,which is still in a prototype(雏形)stage,cleverly gets the energy of the foots swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery.An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once,and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A.A fantastical prediction

B.A great invention in Germany

C.A shoe with self-tying laces

D.A popular lifestyle product

【2】What can we learn about the shoes?

A.They can automatically take off.

B.They can adjust themselves to your foot.

C.They need to be charged once.

D.They have been in design for 26 years.

【3】From the last paragraph we can know ____________.

A.the shoes have been put into use

B.the shoes need power to take off

C.the shoes promise to be popular

D.how the shoes work to produce energy
