C
An old story goes as follows．King took another wife, who had a magic mirror. The queen often asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?” The mirror answered “You, Queen, are the fairest of all,” and the Queen was content, because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth．
Inspired by the fairy tale, a New York-based designer has come up with a mirror equipped with infrared （红外线的） technology that sends a live video to any cell phone, e-mail account or personal digital assistant （PDA） device selected by a shopper．
Christopher Enrich, chief technology officer for digital design company IconNicholson, said putting these mirrors outside store fitting rooms meant women could go shopping with their friends — even they are far apart．
“She could be in Paris, your mom, watching you try on your wedding dress（while you are in New York）,” Enright told Reuters Tuesday as he exhibited the interactive （互动的）mirror at a trade show．
Using the interactive mirror, a shopper’s friends can then text message back with comments about the clothes being tried on．
Shoppers can also use touch screens on the three-paneled （面板） mirror to choose matching shoes or accessories （配件）, Enright said．
The left-hand panel has a touch screen that allows a customer to select a different suit from a database, and then see how it looks on her in the center mirror without physically putting the clothes on．
The right-hand panel has a screen offering more information about other shoes or accessories the shopper also might like．
Enright said teenagers were already using their cell phones to send pictures to their friends when they were out shopping．“This is ．．．adding technology to something we already do,” Enright said．
66．The interactive mirror mentioned in the text ______．
A．involves modern technology and great advantages
B．allows women shoppers to select clothes at home
C．was displayed and sold well at a trade show
D．spares people’s trouble of going shopping
67．Which is the most possible order according to the passage?
① Shoppers’ friends or relatives text message back with comments．
② Mirrors send a live video to any mobile phone, e-mail account or PDA．
③ Consumers make a final decision．
④ Shoppers try on the clothes．
A．①②③④ B．④③②① C．②①④③ D．④②①③
68．From the passage we can conclude that ______．
A．the interactive mirrors will surely promote sales on a large scale
B．the designer of the mirror has profited a lot from the invention
C．the new shopping technology would cater to fashion hunters
D．the digital mirrors will replace all traditional fitting-rooms
69．Which of the following descriptions about the touch screen is true?
A．It enables a shopper to order a suit which is not available now．
B．It allows shoppers to “try on” chosen clothes without putting them on．
C．The touch screens are distributed on three more panels．
D．It provides information merely about shoes and accessories．
70．What is the text mainly about?
A．The great influence of a fairy tale．
B．The development of the interactive mirror．
C．Working principles of a digital product．
D．Technology added to traditional products．

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper. The Beldon Post:
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors： “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.
