There is no doubt that Apple is well aware of the increased competition in the market and could be in a hurry to put another device out there, said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst at IDC Mobile Devices Technology and Trends. Given its history with product launches and business policy, though, Apple probably isn’t going to rush an iPhone release simply to put it on shelves, he said.

“If you’re Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), you’re thinking if you want to pay more attention to how to keep growing that bottom line and keep investors happy, or continue with the same approach from Apple, which is do what we can do and manage products and releases in the best way they can work for us. Apple usually does things in their own time ，and I’m having a hard time buying this May or June timeline.” Llamas told Mac News World.

While it，s probable that Apple is definitely in a testing stage for its next smartphone , consumers likely have a standard wait for the finished product, said Colin Gibbs, analyst at GigaOm Pro.

“It typically takes a year or longer to create a state-of-the-art smartphone, so no one should be surprised Apple is in the testing stages with the next iPhone. And while it’s possible that Apple could launch the next iPhone this spring or summer, I’m not expecting to see it until a little later in the year,” he told Mac News World.

When it does launch, though, it could be in a variety of colors, said Gibbs. “Apple has already tested the waters with releasing colored devices when it revamped(更新，翻新）its iPod line last fall, so it’s not too much of a stretch to believe it would want the new twist with its smartphone, as well”.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if the new iPhone becomes available in some new colors，’’ he said. “That could be done pretty cheaply ，and it would give Apple a new marketing angle.”

1.According to Ramon Llamas, Apple always______.

A.tries to pleases its investors

B. does things as planned

C.ignores the fierce market competition

D. rushes to put new products to market

2.As for the next iPhone, Colin Gibbs didn’t mention______    

A.the stage of its being tested

B.the rough time of its being released

C.the wide variety of its color

D.the function to be improved

3.What’s Colin Gibbs ，attitude towards the next iPhone?

A. Disapproving. B. Casual

C. Objective.     D. Doubtful.

4.This passage is presented in the form of______.

A.stories   B.comments      C.advertisements D.debates

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to $1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.  

This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.  

The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.  

In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost ＄10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78.  

The influence is obvious.  

In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.  

Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”

That’s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.  

1.The text is mainly about___________.  

A. the price of cigarettes                       B. tie rate of teen smoking

C. the effect of tobacco tax increase              D. the differences in tobacco tax rate  

2.What does the author think is a surprise?

A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.  

B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.  

C.  Tobacco taxes improve public health.  

D.  Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.   

3.The underlined word "deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means      .  

A. discarding    B. remove    C. benefit      D. free  

4.Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of     .  

A. tolerance   B. unconcern    C. doubt   D. sympathy  

5.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.  

B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.  

C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.  

D. Adults will depend more on their families.
