Passage 4 ( 2015江苏泰州靖江，C)
Text messaging, or “texting ”，which allows people to send and receive messages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.
The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your family and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals,sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time.ICven if you want to send a message to 100 people,you can do il in one second.Texting helps you to ^talk^ to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone.Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly if you don^ want others to hear what you are talking on the phone.These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long,send dozens of messages each day,and even text while driving or walking. However,texting has its disadvantage.Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too lull,you can't receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.
What's more,if you don't do texting properly,for example,texting while driving or walking,it can be dangerous.lt can cause in?juries and even death.lt was reported that about 6 ,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee,a small town in New Jersey,theUSA. three people died be?cause they walked into traffic while texting in 2013.Two researchers at Stony Brook University,New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting,they don^ notice other people or things around them.To reduce traffic accidents,all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting (限制) the use of mobile phones while driving.
Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However,only when we use it properly,can we fully enjoy the fun il brings.

April will bring a new product — the Apple Watch—into the market. 
Last week,the watch was firstly introduced ^WATCH by Tim Cook,Apple's CEO.The price of the watch will differ from $ 349 to$ 1,099,depending on its size,strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.
Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thoughts and hard work into creating this“small screen”on your wrist (手腕) .The “sensor”on the screen not only detects your finger,but knows the difference between when you are tapping,and when you are pressing harder.
The watch also has “ haptic feedback (触觉反馈) ”.You can send personal messages to your friend—such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers,or tapping the watch,say 3 times,and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.
Besides telling the time,the watch will use “bluetooth” to connect to your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.
According to Tim Cook,the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A “Hotels ”app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart card.And finally,even airlines are jumping in—passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.
The biggest use of the watch,however,is as your personal fitness coach.The watch can measure your pulse ( heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch.lt also has the same” accelerometer as your iPhone,so it knows when you are moving,and also how much you are walking or running.lt will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity. Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike,Jawbone and FitBit devices ( 设备) to welcome ihe Apple Watch.Will the Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?

(One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next 
day.She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)
The Caterpillar (毛毛虫) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth,and said to her in a tired,sleepy voice.
“Who are you?” asked the Caterpillar.

“ I don't see”’said the Caterpillar.
“ I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,”Alice replied ver po?litely,” for I can't understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling."
“It isn’t,” said the Caterpillar. “Well，perhaps you haven’t found it so yet ,” said Alice, “ But when you have to turn into a chrysalis (蛹苗) 一you will some day,you know—and then after that into a butterfly,1 think you’ll feel it a little stranger,won’t you?”
“ Not a bit ,”said the Caterpillar.
Well,perhaps your feelings may be different, said Alice, All I know is,it would make me feel very strange.
“You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully. “Who are you?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such very short sentences.She drew herself up and said very seriously,1 think you ought to tell me who you are first."
“Why?” said the Caterpillar.
Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason,and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant,she turned away. “ Come back! ” the Caterpillar called after her. “ I've something important to tell you! ”
This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.
