Amazon Introduces a Digital Music Locker

Amazon.com, plans to introduce a service that will let people upload their digital music to the Web from anywhere.   1.   

The service, known as a music locker, was made available to Amazon account holders early Tuesday.Amazon will offer a Web-based hard drive backup service called Cloud Drive, where people can store documents, photos, videos and music.

It will also offer Cloud Player, which will let people listen to, download and make play lists from the music they store on Cloud Drive from any Web site or from an app on Android devices. Cloud Player will automatically upload songs bought on Amazon.   2.   

    3.   One key difference is that Google and Apple reportedly want to automatically make all the music that a user owns available to stream on other instruments, while Amazon will require that people upload music, except songs they buy on Amazon, to access it elsewhere.

The dream of these companies, along with many start-ups, is for people to be able to listen to their music from any computer or phone.   4.   Several experts in digital music say that the music locker business is still legally ambiguous.   5.   

    Amazon says it has avoided the problem, because its users would upload their songs, in MP3 to the cloud-based service, just like backing them up on an external (outside) hard drive or a Web-based computer backup service.

Companies, including Google and Spotify have been forced to delay introducing certain services while they negotiate with the music labels and publishers.

A.People can access it from any computer and from Android phones.

B.But they have all run into the same problem: music companies and publishers would prefer that listeners buy a new copy of a song everywhere they want to listen to it.

C.Experts suspect that Amazon seems to be copying what Google and Apple have already achieved.

D.They agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity (匿名) because their agreements with Amazon are confidential.

E.It is impossible for Web companies to tell whether a song was bought legally or downloaded illegally.

F.Amazon is racing Google and Apple, both of which are interested in offering similar services.

G.It will also scan iTunes or Windows libraries to find other music to upload.

    1   Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.

  The ridge structure on a person’s fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries.Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern.  2   Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.

A. TV’s Influence on Children’s Life

B. Arguments Against Violence on TV

C. TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities

D. The Importance of Violence in Real Life

E. Attraction of Violence on TV

F. TV’s Power

51._____________

Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually knows something about medicine.

52.________________

People spend most of their time watching TV in their spare time. People spend more time watching videos but less time making music with each other. People in small towns now watch international cable networks instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church or book clubs. When company comes, kids are sent to the TV room with videos.

53____________________

Parents are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the TV, and the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or playing dominoes with his grandfather.

54.________________

The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise ,work, visit our friends, read ,cook, eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detectives and murderers than in the real world .A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence attract viewers” attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.

55_________________

Different people have different opinions. Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and songs. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequence and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increases their fear levels about potential violence.
