8.A few days ago,my mobile phone (huawei) was broken when I accidentally dropped it in the water.As I missed being able to keep in touch with my friends,I went to an electrical center the next day to buy a new one (vivo).When I sent a message,"I got a new mobile phone"on my WeChat,all of my friends replied:"Got a Plus (the iPhone 6Plus)?"
Since Apple products entered the global market,some Apple fans have been extremely crazy about iPads or iPhones.While some people are lining up at Apple stores all over the world,the iPhone 6is still a luxury (奢侈品) for others.
There are some unbelievable and funny videos about the iPhone 6that I have seen on PPTV.A Chinese woman has been waiting in line at the Apple store from dawn to midnight to buy the iPhone 6.There is one that shows that while a reporter is interviewing a young American guy who just bought an iPhone 6,a thief riding a motorcycle robs it.
Why are some people so interested in Apple products?Here are some possible reasons.Apple release (发行) their iPhone 6with their own unique operating system (IOS); iPhone 6has a pretty appearance and is made with the best materials; it has a high connection speed of up to 150Mbps; it has lots of new functions (a resolution 1334*750pixel,A8,NFC,etc.) and so on.It's certain that the first choice for people is the iPhone 6.But I don't think these are the main reason behind their choice.
As we all know,the price of the iPhone 6is so high that most people cannot afford it.Some Apple fans go out of their way to figure out many methods to get an iPhone 6,like selling a kidney (肾) or simply stealing the phone.Why would they do that?
Nowadays,the iPhone 6 is a symbol of the rich man.Some people who own an iPhone 6or 6Plus compare themselves with the wealth.Comparison is an extremely negative emotion and a psychological flaw (心理缺失).

分析 短文大意:主要讲述作者一次丢手机后,买了一部新手机,微信圈里人都问是IPhone 6 吗?由此引出IPhone 6 很受欢迎,文章列举了一个中国妇女,从早到晚排队买IPhone 6,还有一些人不惜卖肾和偷来换取这款手机,很多人以为拥有了这么昂贵的手机就拥有了财富,其实这种攀比的心理是消极的并且是心理缺失.
