　　"Without freedom no one really has a name．"

　　－Milton Acorda

　　Nothing is as precious as one's freedom．Dreams, aspirations and ideals mean nothing if one does not have the freedom to pursue them．A lot has been done in the name of freedom．A lot has been said and written about freedom．

　　In the past six months, the world witnessed Tunisian uprising, Egyptian revolution and Libyan civil war．Thousands of people fought for freedom, hundreds of people lost their lives(for freedom), people are craving for freedom．But．what exactly is freedom? We are fighting for it, we are ready to die for it, we are craving for it, but, can we really define it?

　　Albert Camus thinks freedom is a chance to be better．Abraham Lincoln calls it best hope of Earth．Epictetus says it"s the right to live as we wish．For Moshe Dayan it's oxygen for soul．According to Urban Dictionary it's everything．And going by Oxford Dictionaries, it's power of self determination attributed to the will．

　　Everyone has different views about freedom．But somehow I am still not convinced because we can't really be fighting for a chance or hope．And the concept of everything is full of uncertainties．I don't think we are fighting for power of self-determination either．And as for the right to live as we wish, if we have the right to fight, then, how can we be denied the right to live as per our wish?

　　But the question still remains unanswered, what is freedom?

　　For me, freedom has a deeper and greater meaning．I think freedom is much more than just a right, it's a responsibility of doing what you think is good, not only for you but even for society．It is a state when one realizes their duties and starts respecting others' freedom．

　　Freedom is when we realize that we can do absolutely anything except force another person to follow us in our madness or our lust for．life．Freedom is when we are no longer slaves to our desires, society, its expectations, luxury or slaves to a life we did not choose．

　　Freedom is when we have the courage to speak out what we know is true, do what we feel is right, and fight for what we think is unfair．One shouldn't really fight for freedom; rather, they should try to achieve it．

　　"In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved．"

　　－Franklin D．Roosevelt

　　BEIJING－Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular(手机)network compatibility(兼容)for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion．

　　According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China．The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom(Hong Kong)Ltd．

　　China Unicom declined(谢绝)to comment．

　　Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland．Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed(超过)the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels．

　　Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale(高档的)IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront．Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China．She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2．

　　Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world．The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market．

　　The new stores reflect Apple’s confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers．Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost(增长)the company’s third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July．China revenue(收益)surged(激增)six-fold to about ＄3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25．

　　“This has been a substantial(重大)opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we’re just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China．“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there．”

　　For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer：a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application)．

　　Strange though it may seem-“my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES)this week-Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install(安装)a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”．

　　Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted．This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad．

　　The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application．The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus．

　　Samsung says it's not just something new-the app connection actually has some practical uses．

　　“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt．

　　The company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money．

　　Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do-enable laziness．Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV．

(1)

[　　]
A．	The machine will be a big success．

What can we learn about the new laundry machines?
[　　]
A．	They can tell you when your clothes need washing
B．	They can be controlled with a smartphone
C．	They are difficult to operate
D．	They are sold at a low price

(3)

We can conclude form Samsung's statements that ________．
[　　]
A．	the app connection makes life easier
B．	it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C．	smartphone can shorten the drying time
D．	we should refresh clothes back at home

(4)
