In today's world of smart phones and notebook computers, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.
However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(附属的) business. And today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.
“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions .
Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet(手镯) than a watch.
Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, or creative talent of a love sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(配件) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’ s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!
1.What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.
B. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.
C. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.
D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.
2. Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to_______.
A. tell that today’s watches need more imagination
B. show why Shinshoku watches are popular
C. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash
D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets
3.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Japanese Watches Stand Out
B. Watches Tell More Than Time
C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation
D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day isn’t it?” “Terrible weather, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something that both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching, “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system, “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it?”
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
1.Small talk is ________.
A. a kind of conversation with short words
B. a greeting when people meet each other
C. to let people disagree about something
D. something we talk about to start with a conversation
2.The passage suggests that when we learn a language, we should ________.
A. learn about the transport system of the country
B. only master the grammar and vocabulary
C. know the culture about the country
D. grasp the importance of the language
3.When we say “Great game isn’t it?” we are actually ________.
A. asking a questionB. having a conversation
C. greeting each otherD. beginning a small talk
4.What we learn from the passage is that ________.
A. different language has different grammar
B. small talk is an important part in a language
C. small talk depends on the purpose of the conversation
D. in English speaking countries we should talk about the weather

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humor plays an important role in relationships. In new relationships, humor can be an effective tool not just for attracting the other person but also for overcoming any awkwardness or embarrassment. 1.
Sharing the pleasure of humor creates a sense of connection between two people. When you laugh with one another, you create a positive tie between you. This tie acts as a strong buffer(缓冲) against stress, disagreements, disappointments, and bad patches in a relationship. And laughter really is infectious. 2.But don’t worry if you’re not naturally a lighthearted, humorous person----you can learn to access your playful side and develop your sense of fun.
Like any tool, humor can be used in negative as well as positive ways. Humor can only help you overcome relationship problems when both partners can understand the joke. 3.If your partner or friend isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it. Humor in relationships should be equally fun and enjoyable for both people.
Don’t use humor to cover up other emotions. 4.That’s when it is used as a cover for avoiding, rather than coping with, painful emotions. You can be funny about the truth, but covering up the truth isn’t funny. When you use humor and playfulness as a cover for other emotions, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships.
5.The important thing is to find enjoyable activities that help you embrace your playful nature with other people. As humor and play become an unseparated part of your life, you’ll begin to find daily opportunities for using your new-found skills to help build and maintain your relationships.
A. Humor can help you and your loved one.
B. There are times when humor is not healthy.
C. It’s important to be sensitive to the other person.
D. It’s never too late to develop your humorous side.
E. The more you joke, play, and laugh----the easier it becomes.
F. Just hearing someone laugh can make you smile and join in on the fun.
G. In longer-term relationships, humor can keep things exciting and fresh.
