In Finland, home of Nokia, which makes 30 percent of the mobile phones sold around the world, and veritable mobile phone capital of the world, a mobile phone is not just a phone. It is a credit card, a menu, a stock ticker, and an entertainment center. It is a multifunction server. It is a passport to the future. In the high-tech world of telephones, Finland clearly leads the world. By pressing their phone’s buttons and reading text messages on small screens, the Finns can tinnier money in their bank accounts, trade stocks, purchase products used daily, rent videos, buy movie tickets, order flowers, and pay for parking—all without ever talking to anyone, that is to say, without using a phone for its traditional purpose.

In a shopping center, you stand before a vending machine, and dial a number on your mobile phone. Seconds later, the food will fall on a shelf in the machine. It is a very easy way to get something to eat, the cost of which will show up on your mobile phone bill at the end of the month. In some restaurants, you dial a number after the waitress hands you your bill and get a receipt from the cashier. Mobile phones have become so important a part of life here that many people can not leave home without their phones. Nearly 80 percent of Finland’s five million people own mobile phones.

There are many more mobile phones than fixed ones in the country. That Finns describe themselves as perfect mobile phone users is not because they like to talk much but on the contrary. Finns are not very eager to talk. They are shy, but they are very eager to enjoy high-tech. Among teenagers, mobile phone ownership hits 100 percent. Many log on Web sites to download personalized music or pictures for their phones. Surveys show that Finns send an average of 25 messages a month on their mobile phones. Teachers have to ban the phones during exams to prevent cheating.

Mobile phones and related hand-held devices will make it technically possible to eliminate cash within ten years. Making that socially acceptable, however, may take longer. About 75 percent of all transactions in Finland are already performed with credit and debit cards. Except for mortgage(抵押) payments, which still require paperwork, mobile phones can perform any traditional banking function. Checks have not been used for at least five years. These provide a good start for mobile commerce. More and more people accept the mobile payment devices because of its fast and convenient service. Banks are beginning to join with enterprises to test a system that integrates(使一體化) the mobile payment devices with a cash register. Mobile commerce, as the theory goes, is entering people’s life step by step.

1. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.

A. mobile phones in Finland can perform all traditional banking functions

B. every teenager in Finland possesses a Nokia-brand mobile phone

C. Finns make full use of the cell phone

D. Finns are so active that they are eager to enjoy high technology

2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned when describing the multi-functions of mobile phones?

A. If one uses a mobile phone, he or she needn’t pay cash when shopping.

B. Mobile phones are so important that without it no Finns can leave home.

C. The cost of the food will show up on your cell phone at the end of the month.

D. In some other countries, cell phones are not made that multi-functional.

3. According to the passage, we can infer that ______.

A. in Finland, some students use cell phones to cheat in exams

B. Finn’s listening and speaking ability will degenerate

C. there are more fixed phones than mobile phones in Finland

D. mobile phones and related hand-held devices will eliminate cash within 10 years technically, meanwhile they will be accepted by the society
