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.
Are you cooperative? Are you a good team member? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.
【小题1】 That' s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.
But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration.
Through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations —often thousands of miles apart —can work on the same project at once. 【小题2】
Examples— An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system ?a new manufacturing process or an entire factory —before it is built. 【小题3】 A medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.
Of course, computer-assisted team effort doesn't end with investigation and simulation. 【小题4】 "CAD-CAM —computer-aided design and manufacture—is breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions," explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric." Interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network. "
Sometimes, a computer-aided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depths. 【小题5】
| A.They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results. |
| B.In the future, teamwork will be highlighted by the introduction of new technology. |
| C.An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. |
| D.It ends in the products which are extensions of the traditional design. |
F. High technology, some predicted, would make teamwork a thing of the past.
G. For high-technology teamwork, the future seems limitless.
