　　These days, if you still think the cell phone is just for talking, you will get laughed at．Yes, it's true, voice-only handsets have become out of date．Today's do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer．The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minutes to use them．Some of the things a cell phone can do for you will be available this year：

　　Surf at speed

　　Cell pones that let you use the Web have been around for years．So, what's new? Well, faster third-generation(3G)net works let you surf at anywhere．This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone．Possible choices are from LG Electronic VX 8000 and Motorola V 1150．

　　Listen as you go

　　The problem with most cell phone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs．But, that's about to change．Sony Ericsson's new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory．And Sumsung's SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive．Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens．

　　Say cheese

　　Camera cell phones are not new either．But, most of them have limitations：around 1-megapixel(百万像素)．But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon．Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson's K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls．Others, like LG's recent MMA7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full- motion video．

　　Portable TV

　　You say you like “watching TV”? That's what Sumsung MM-A700 wants to give you．The new model lets users watch popular TV programs－for a fee．Other choices are Nokia's 6620, Sanyo's MM 7400 and NEC's N940．The NEC model lets you watch public TV－no fee．

　　The above are just a handful of what you will see in the coming months．Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator… So what is there that a cell phone can't do?

(1)

Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?
[　　]
A．	Sumsung's SPH-V5400 and Nokia's 6620
B．	Sony Ericsson's W800i and Sumsung's SPH-V5400
C．	Sony Ericsson's W800i and NEC's N940
D．	Sanyo's MM7400 and NEC's N940

(2)

What's the difference between NEC's N940 and other models?
[　　]
A．	It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speed
B．	It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion video
C．	It can hold as many as 150 songs
D．	It lets you watch public TV no fee．

(3)

If you like to take pictures in your life, you can choose ________．
[　　]
A．	Sony Ericsson's K750i
B．	NEC's N940
C．	Nokia's 6620
D．	Motorola V 1150

(4)

This passage may be ________．
[　　]
A．	a passage teaching us how to use cell phones
B．	an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cell phones
C．	a science fiction trying to attract readers' attention
D．	a survey to find the development of cell phones．

　　We keep reading that TV is bad for you．If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children．

　　Perhaps TV does educate you．For example, you learn a useful medical fact：A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies．“The killer was…”(dies)

　　But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”．Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights．Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas．And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳)of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are．

　　I’ve even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows：Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from．

　　Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security．Consider these truths．If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, don’t worry about being outnumbered．The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all．Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women．

　　TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger．Watch and learn．(1)If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over．(2)If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you．

　　Be warned, however．If your name card says “henchman”(帮凶)and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you．But don’t be anxious：TV also delivers useful information for bad guys．All cars are inflammable(易燃的)and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage－except police cars．

　　TV even teaches us about TV．Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know．They then turn the box off immediately after that news item．

(1)

By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies”(Paragraph 2), the writer shows his ________．
[　　]
A．	humor
B．	sympathy
C．	deep concern
D．	medical knowledge

(2)

We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world ________．
[　　]
A．	bad things cause people to break down in the rain
B．	bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights
C．	people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas
D．	the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don’t happen at the same time

(3)

On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?
[　　]
A．	The news shown is always about someone the person knows．
B．	The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news．
C．	The program shown is always about the importance of TV．
D．	TV always shows news about famous people．

(4)

What’s the main idea of this passage?
[　　]
A．	Life skills can be learned from TV．
B．	TV plays an important role in society．
C．	Watching TV makes people more creative．
D．	What happens in TV is very different from reality．

(5)

The writer of this passage takes a(n)________ attitude towards TV plays．
[　　]
A．	positive
B．	casual
C．	negative
D．	indifferent
