Dear Mrs Wilson,

Mrs. Wilson,

I'm going out shopping, and won't be back until about 5£º00 pm. I have taken with me the two books you asked me to return to the City Library. At about 1 o'clock this afternoon, Tracy called, saying that she couldn't meet you at Bolton Coffee tomorrow morning as she has something important to attend to. She felt very sorry about that, but said that you could set some other time for the meeting. She wanted you to call her back as soon as you are home. She has already told Susan about this change.

With best wishes,

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Consumer electronics once again topped the list of the most wanted gifts this holiday season. ¡°Seventy-six percent of consumers who plan to buy holiday gifts say that they will spend money buying at least one technology product; definitely a solid vote of confidence for technology.¡± Steve Koenig is with the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the group¡¯s latest research also shows that Americans this year are spending more on technology products.

¡°Here in 2012, $252 on average¨Cthe technology spend for consumers this year.¡± From tablet computers to smart phones, American shoppers have been lining up to get the newest and coolest electronic devices on the market. There are more choices today than ever before. ¡°It¡¯s kind of hard to make a decision.¡±

Tablet computers are one of the best-selling products this year. Brian Tong is Senior Editor of CNET.com. The website reports on tech news and examines the latest electronic products. He says the Apple iPad Mini is one of the most popular tablets. Its starting price is $329. One of Apple¡¯s biggest competitors is the Google Nexus 7. It starts at $199.

¡°The hardware inside is more powerful than what¡¯s in the iPad Mini, but also it offers you a lot of things like maps that work better than Apple¡¯s maps.¡± Brian Tong says there is one reason why people may like the iPad Mini more than the Nexus 7. ¡°If you just want to read books and surf the Internet, you don¡¯t really need to get an iPad Mini, but if you want the largest group of apps that¡¯s where the iPad and Apple¡¯s ecosystem shines the most.¡±

Elman Chacon is with the electronics store Best Buy. He says another hot product this season is smart cameras. They connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi. This makes it easy for users to email or upload photographs directly from the camera. ¡°You can literally take a picture, upload it into your Facebook in a matter of seconds. These things are pretty cool because they do a lot of things.¡±

Streaming media boxes also connect to the Internet. People are able to watch web content such as movies and YouTube videos on their televisions. Another popular item is wireless speaker systems. The newest ones work with any device that has Bluetooth technology, including smart phones, laptops and tablets.

With the growing popularity of Internet shopping, many consumers will visit a store first to look at a product, and then go online to find it at a lower price. Stores like Best Buy understand that and they want to stay competitive.

¡°We have something called the perfect match promise which means if you buy a certain device and you find it cheaper within 30 days we¡¯ll go ahead and price match that for you.¡± Elman Chacon said.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Do you know what really troubles me? For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.

Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced.

Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.

Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there¡¯s no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it_____For example, I pronounce the letter ¡°l¡± in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.

I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.

¡¾1¡¿Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters?

A. French language. B. Historical reasons.

C. Some linguists D. Bad traditions.

¡¾2¡¿The underlined phrase ¡°catches on¡± probably means ¡°________¡±.

A. becomes popular B. gets across

C. follows the fashions D. doesn¡¯t fall behind

¡¾3¡¿Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. Troubles in everyday life

B. Traps in English words

C. Words with silent letters

D. Necessary changes of languages
