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. 【小题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． 【小题2】
【小题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． 【小题4】 Several experts in digital music say that the music locker business is still legally ambiguous． 【小题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． |
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．
Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.
Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. 【小题1】 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old.
The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 【小题2】
Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 【小题3】 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
【小题4】 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents.
Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 【小题5】 They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.

【小题1】 If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and your ability to focus will increase. But if you never use your brain, or abuse it with harmful chemicals, your ability to think and learn will decrease. Here are some simple ways that may help you.
【小题2】
Don’t you feel drained(劳累) after a couple of hours of watching TV? Your eyes are sore and tired of being focused on the light box for so long. When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.
Exercise.
I used to think that I’d learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. 【小题3】 It improves productivity(生产力) during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you can concentrate(专注) more easily.
Read challenging books.
If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability, you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more elegant English. 【小题4】 Re-read it when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed(习惯) to the author’s style.
Early to bed, early to rise.
【小题5】 You’ll be the most energetic if you go to bed early and don’t sleep for more than 8 hours. In my experience the early morning hours are the most productive. If you have the opportunity, take a 10-20 minute nap(小憩) when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness(睡意).
| A．Take a time to reflect. |
| B．Reduce television watching. |
| C．Spending some time alone will be helpful. |
| D．Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle (肌肉). |
F. Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep loss.
G. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning.

Ways to save time
We all wish we had just a bit more time．Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on．
【小题1】 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter．
1．Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7; 30 a．m．try getting up at 7:00 a．m．That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish．【小题2】
2．Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first （not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones）．You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones．
【小题3】 The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones．
3．Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter．Constant interruptions don't just eat up time, they also break your concentration．
When you've got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail．【小题4】 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．
4． 【小题5】
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day．
When you're working, work．If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit．And if you're facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with．
| A．Stay Focused on Your Work |
| B．Take Breaks When Necessary |
| C．If you have an office door, close it． |
| D．If you work like this, you'll usually save time． |
F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long．
G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．
