???Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's a style to suit everyone?
|
Best for young children?
LeapPad Explorer 2, ￡68?
 Aimed?at children between three and nine (though a nine-year-old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad does not allow access to the internet — so it is impossible for your child to stumble across?anything inappropriate.?
Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director.?
Cons: Some of the games are shockingly expensive. And the power adaptor is not included.?
|
Best for teenagers?
iPad 4th generation, ￡399-￡659?
 The iPad is still the market leader, and for good reason. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose.?
Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ‘a(chǎn)pps’ (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad.?Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.
Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors.?

Best for?working parents?
Microsoft Surface, ￡399-￡559?
 Tablets are brilliant for leisure — but what if you want to do a bit of work? No tablet can yet compete with? a full-size laptop computer, but? this is the only tablet? that allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint? (they are all pre-installed and included in the price) and you? can buy a pretty lovely mini- keyboard for typing letters and emails, which also doubles up as the cover.
Pros: The Surface is good for watching movies — a bonus when stuck in the airport on a business trip — and surfing the internet.?
Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on - costing up to ￡109. It might be cheaper to buy a laptop (though a tablet is much smaller and lighter).

Best for bookworms?
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, ￡109
Nearly all tablets let you download books. It's a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase.?
 ?

Pros: Easy on the eye, excellent battery life, 180,000 free books (if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service) plus hundreds of thousands more to buy.?

Classified advertising is that advertising which is grouped in certain sections of the paper and is thus distinguished from display advertising. Such groupings as “Help Wanted”, “Real Estate”, “Lost and Found” are made, the rate charged being less than for display advertising. Classified advertisements are a convenience to the reader and a saving to the advertiser.
The reader who is interested in a particular kind of advertisement finds all advertisements of that type grouped for him. The advertisers may, on this account, use a very small advertisement if it were placed among larger advertisements in the paper. It is evident that the reader approaches the classified advertisement in a different frame of mind from that in which he approaches the other advertisements in the paper. He turns to a page of classified advertisements to search for the particular advertisement that will meet his needs. As his attention is voluntary, the advertiser does not need to rely too much extent on display type to get the reader’ s attention. Formerly all classified advertisements were of the same size and did not have display type. With the increase in the number of such advertisements, however, each advertiser within a certain group is competing with others in the same group for the reader5s attention. In many cases, the result has been an increase in the size of the space used and the addition of headlines and pictures. In that way, the classified advertisement has in reality advertisement. This is particularly true of real estate advertising?

73. One of the examples given of types of classified advertisement is
A) houses for sale
B) people who are asking for help
C) people who are lost
D) job vacancies
74. Why have classified advertisements changed in appearance?
A) Because people no longer want headlines and pictures.
B) Because real estate advertising is particularly truthful now.
C) Because the increase in the number of such advertisements means they have to be small now.
D) Because there are more advertisements now and more competition among advertisers.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words
As further proof that you can now 3D-print anything, a company called Natural Machines has introduced a 3D printer for food.
The “Foodini”,as it’s called, isn’t too different from a regular 3D printer, but instead of printing with plastics, it prints eatable ingredients squeezed out of steel capsules(容器)：“It’s the
same technology,” says Lynette Kucsma, co-founder of Natural Machines, “but with plastics there’s just one melting point, while with food it has different temperatures and consistencies (粘稠度).Also, gravity works a little bit (81)a________ us, as food doesn’t hold the shape as well as
plastic.”
At the Web Summit technology conference in Dublin, the Barcelona-based startup is
(82)s________off the machine, which it says is the only one of its kind capable of printing a wide range of dishes.
“In fact, this is a mini food manufacturing plant shrunk down to the size of an oven,” Kucsma said, pointing out that at least in the initial stage the printer will be targeted mostly at professional kitchen users, with a consumer version to (83)f________.
In principle, the Foodini sounds like the final laziness aid: press a button to print your food. But Natural Machines is quick to point out that it’s designed to take care only of the difficult and time-consuming parts of food preparation that discourage people from cooking at home, and that it promotes healthy eating by requiring fresh ingredients prepared before printing.
Nevertheless, the company is working with (84)m________ food manufacturers to create
pre-packaged plastic capsules that can just be loaded into the machine to make food, even though they assure these will be (85)f________ of preservatives, with a shelf life limited to five days.
The printing process is slow, but faster than regular 3D printing. Other than being capable of creating complex designs, the Foodini can be useful for recipes that require accuracy and skillfulness, like homemade pizza or filled pasta.
Currently, the device only prints the food, which must be then cooked as usual. But a (86)f________model will also cook the preparation and produce it ready to eat.
The (87)i________ also comes with a social element too. “There’s a touch screen on the
front that connects to a recipe site in the cloud, so it’s an internet-of-things, connected kitchen appliance,” said Kucsma. Users will also be able to control the device remotely using a smartphone, and share their recipes with the community.

D. Answer the questions
Have you been to zoos? Have you watched circuses(馬戲團(tuán))？ We see animals in zoos and circuses and treat then as trained friends. But could these lovely animals still survive in the wild? The French director Thierry Ragobert tried to give us the answer in his new movie Amazonia. In the movie, a little monkey called Sai experienced a journey back to nature.
Sai was born in a circus and raised by human. All he knew was to perform and make people laugh every night. However, his life turned upside down one day. After a plane accident in South America, the little monkey found himself in the jungle(叢林).He was chased by eagles and got sick by eating some unknown plants. Fortunately, another monkey saved him from danger. Sai joined the wild monkeys and soon found that he was so different from the others. He had no skills of hunting and fighting because he had never lived in the wild before. Sai began to learn from the other monkeys since then.
This movie was released on the Chinese mainland. It is the first 3D movie in history where all roles are played by real animals. The leading role Sai together with other roles in the film were well-trained animal stars from Brazil’s national zoo. The director sent the animals into the wild and filmed trained animal stars from Brazil’s national zoo. The director sent the animals into the wild and filmed their real life. “I want to know if trained animals can find their survival instincts(本能).” Ragobert says, “I expect this more as an experiment than a film.” People can also see how human activities hurt the Amazon jungle in the movie. It reminds people how and what man took from natural world. The director also says he wishes that seeing nature will help peple think about protecting its beauty.
88. Is this French movie about a little monkey?
89. When did Sai find himself in the jungle??
90. What skills did Sai learn from other monkeys?
91. Where did the roles of the movie come from?
92. How did the director make the movie?
