19.Can an iPhone really make you happier?A new study says"Yes".According to a survey of 35,000people around the world,access to (进入) communications technology is a major factor in increasing happiness.We all need a few basic things in order to be happy:access to clean water and food,a home,health care,and relationships.But once the necessities are met,what do people most desire?The answer is access to communication devices (设备),according to the survey by BCS,the Chartered Institute for IT.
Most people in the study gave similar answers,but the potential (潜在的) happiness increase that technology could bring about was particularly great in women and in people with low incomes or levels of education-even in developing countries.
While farmers in the African countryside aren't likely to pick up the latest shiny toys from Apple,even a simple cell phone can serve as a valuable happiness-increasing tool,allowing the development of social networks beyond the community.
"Whether young or old,we're all social beings,we all have a need for communication,"researcher Paul Flatters told BBC News.
In rural (乡村) communities,access to communications technology such as cell phones and computers is limited,but expanding,thanks to groups like One Laptop Per Child,which supplies children in developing countries with basic laptops that allow them to research school projects and connect with others all over the world.Other groups,like the UK's Computer Aid,are helping rural villagers get wired with the help of portable cyber cafes (便携式网吧) that allow locals to log online to send emails and perform work-related research.
And back home,it seems from the results that small IT devices like the iPhone really can increase your happiness-provided you use it to talk with and send messages,photos,and videos to friends and family to help strengthen your social networks,rather than simply play Angry Birds.

A.By giving one a higher income.
B.By letting one keep in touch with others.
C.By giving one chances to surf the Internet.
D.By letting one enjoy movies or take photos.
46.What does the study show us?C
A.How many people are using iPhones.
B.What communication tools people like to use.
C.What people need besides the basic necessities.
D.What is the life of people in developing countries like.

C.naughty children D.a computer
48.The author wrote the text to tell us thatA.

Having the right security products equipped in a home can get rid of home invasion,theft and injury.Home security products should be hidden somewhat and not out in the open for invaders to see.Products that protect one's home should also be linked to the local police department so that they can be notified in the event of an emergency or break-in.
62.A
Security products are used for monitoring the home and the properties surrounding the home.Products are designed to warn the homeowner when invasion is taking place or someone is hidden around the property.Most systems are electronic or battery powered and some are linked with cables and satellites to keep a close watch on property.
63.B
There are four main kinds of home security products.The first kind is home entry and invasion protection--used for setting up a high tech alarm system.The second is window and door alarms,helpful in warning the homeowner as to who is coming in and out of the house and certain rooms in the home.The third is to keep the outside of the home protected by signaling.The fourth is a combination of security gates,cameras connected to a DVR,bars for windows and doors as well as sliding door lock.
64.D
One should consider the expense of equipping a complete security system.For most complete systems which include driveway alarms,cameras,and electronic keypads,many can cost from﹩100to﹩10,000.The homeowner can equip individual security products based on the needs of the home and family to save money.
65.C
Preventing invasion,theft and injury can save thousands of dollars if the home was broken into and items were stolen.Having home security products equipped can also reduce car and auto insurance moneys.
