The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad (一度時髦的風尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” — and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer — which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet — adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear — popular in the US and the UK — that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of The Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of The Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, former head of the Language Center at King’s College London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBCMagazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (輕便).” Adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western world is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBCMagazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend unavoidably disappeared.

1.People use iPlayer to _________.

A．listen to music                          B．make a call

C．watch TV programs online                 D．read newspapers

2.We can infer that The Independent’s “i” is aimed at _________.

A．young readers                         B．old readers

C．fashionable women                      D．engineers

3.Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _________.

A．portable                              B．environmentally friendly

C．a(chǎn)dvanced                             D．recyclable

4.The writer suggests that _________.

A．“i” products are often of high quality

B．iTeddy is a living bear

C．the letter “b” replaces the letter “i” to name the products

D．the popularity of “i” products may not last long

Increasingly, over the past ten years, people--- especially young people –have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, especially processed food(加工過的食品), is not good for the health. As a result, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives(添加劑) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers(化肥), widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple words, this means that the soil has been nourished(給…營養(yǎng)) by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in commercial farming area.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed move freely in healthy pastures(牧場). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry(家禽)：there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.

There are other sides of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually unnecessary food. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fibre.

1.People have become more interested in natural foods because______.

A. they want to keep healthy                               

B. they want to taste all kinds of foods

C. natural foods are more delicious than processed foods       

D. they want to return to nature

2.Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that _____.

A. they are fed on food which is little better than garbage    

B. they live in very crowded condition

C. the eggs they produce lack vitamins             

D. they are allowed to move about and eat freely

3.According to the passage, ______.

A. people can only find sugar to give them energy      

B. sugar is bad for the health

C. the use of sugar is habit forming

D. sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful

Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．

◆Recite and repeat in conversation．

When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．

◆Ask the other person to recite and repeat．

You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names．

◆Admit you don’t know．

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say，“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”

◆Use associations．

Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce（加強）your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

◆Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

◆Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.

1.

How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names? _________

A. They will be angry.                       

B. They will be guilty

C. They will be delighted.                     

D. They will be discouraged.

2.

 If you can't remember someone's name, you may _________.

A. telephone others to help you             B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for another name card            D. tell him the truth

3.
