阅读理解,阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

  Batteries are included, but the charger's not.The Nokia E-Cu concept phone doesn't need to plug in, it charges from any heat source.Designer Patrick Hyland says it can even work off the warmth of your pocket.The first time “it would take approximately seven hours to reach full charge, then after that it's continuously charging by keeping the phone in areas between 86 degrees and 104 degrees Fahrenheit.” That's one hot pocket.?

  He's put a thermogenerator(热偶电池)inside the phone that transforms heat into electric potential energy.To better conduct the heat to that little power plant in your pocket, the E-Cu(E for energy, Cu for copper)is coated by copper backing with heat sinks like those normally used to keep electronics from overheating.

  Nokia doesn't have current plans to build the phone, so for now it remains a concept.But Hyland says he's open to anyone who wants to cooperate.

  For Americans this technology would certainly be convenient.It would also save a bit on energy bills and waste.“Annually, unwanted phone chargers produce 51, 000 tons of waste in addition to the greenhouse gases created by the production of the electricity needed to charge them, ” Hyland says.So a charger-free phone is also a green phone.Though adapting our plug?in habits would help a group of people, most cell phone related energy use comes from leaving your charger plugged in all day unnecessarily.

  The real potential for charger-free cell phone technology is what it could enable places where plugging in isn't an option, like rural areas in the developing world.

  Cell phones are spreading faster than power lines and bringing with them countless opportunities, aid and health advances.A phone like the E-Cu, if it ever comes to be, would enable all manner of expanded aid and development by phone projects.Let's hope Patrick finds a partner.

“My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”
The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS2) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called texting.
A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it’s common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,” “u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud.” Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”
Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)
Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always evolve, and this is just another way for English to change. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.
