Gmail tmned five years old this week.It's somewhat amazing to think we've only had it since 2004; Gmail changed the webmail game forever by offering features we now take for granted: a streamlined interface (界面]) , powerful search, pioneering use ofAjax and a then-huge 1 GB of mailbox space. “You'll never need to delete another message " was how Google described it at the time.
Back then, I was still making do with Hotmail.But its clumsy interface and tiny amount of storage space made the decision to move on an easy one.Getting an account made all the difference in the world to my email experience.Suddenly I was freed from having to delete emails every few days to make space in my mailbox.And the app(application) was smooth and responsive, like a desktop client (客户端程序)—and pretty fast in comparison to Hotmail." Conversation view" and using labels instead of folders took a little getting used to, but in all Gmail felt far more professional and made me much more productive.

The new iPhone 3G should please everyone. Its look and feel are only slightly improved, but a faster network loads Web pages more quickly, true GPS functionality allows it to easily find places nearby, and the new $199 price (down from $400) makes it an affordable luxury.
Before deciding whether to buy, however, make sure you can actually take advantage of the iPhone 3G's high-speed data network. 3G stands for third-generation, which in non-geek speak translates to Web pages and mail messages that, ideally, load about three times faster than on the original iPhone. Even better, 3G coverage enables you to make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time. That's great, if you live or work in a place where the 3G network of AT&T(美国电话电报公司) (the sole wireless carrier of the iPhone) is active. That's not so great in cities like New York where AT&T's cellular coverage is awful. As one of my colleagues in New York City, who bought the original iPhone, commented, "It's just a toy. You can't make phone calls on it, so I carry my Verizon phone with me all the time."
The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called "App Store" and start browsing the hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games (I like JirboBreak, a free game inspired by the Atari classic Breakout) and mobile versions of popular websites like Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location — provided by the iPhone 3G's GPS chip — to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network.
【小题1】The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _______
A.It looks and feels better | B.It has a faster network |
C.It is easy to locate a place | D.It is too expensive for people to buy |
A.Because iPhone 3G is just a toy. |
B.ecause he prefers Verizon phone better. |
C.Because AT&T's cellular coverage is terrible there |
D.Because Verizon phone enables him make a phone call and surf the Web at the same time |
A.App Store will offer you great fun. | B.many apps have been developed for the iPhone. |
C.Most apps are very expensive. | |
D.Pandora, Facebook, MySpace and the New York Times are popular websites. |
A.doubtful | B.appreciative | C.optimistic | D.pessimistic |

“Just take a deep breath.” “Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. But as Tom Cruise, playing Lt. Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men, said, “I get sick when I fly because I’m afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don’t think Daniel will help.”
But there’s a new application that just may. Today, the VALK Foundation, a Dutch group that’s a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the University of Leiden, launches the app in the US. The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for research and fear-of-flying treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.
The foundation said the app, called Flight App VALK, is the first scientifically-developed, web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying.
“The fear of flying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers’ fears,” said Dr. Lucas van Gerwen, director of the VALK Foundation. Dr. van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.
The foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers. The Flight App is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence. It explains the sounds and sensations they can expect during departure, flight and landing. And, if a passenger’s flight stress reaches a panic level, they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease stress levels. Most importantly, the Flight App can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. Once downloaded, the program does not require Internet connection in the air.
1.By saying the words at the beginning of the passage, people are expected to ______.
A. decrease their fear of flying
B. get rid of their doubt about plane
C. have a good time on their flight journey
D. use some medicine to cure their fear of flying
2.According to the passage, the VALK Foundation ______.
A. is a group focusing on psychology on the flight
B. was the first center to do research into fear of flying
C. organize the world conferences on fear of flying annually
D. focuses on researching and offering treatment on fear of flying
3.Flight App VALK is aimed to ______.
A. help passengers experience the fear of flying
B. help relax passengers before and during flights
C. treat people who suffer from mild fear of flying
D. teach people the basic knowledge of taking flight
4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Many adults are suffering from fear of flying
B. It’s convenient for people to use the Flight App
C. Many planes will be installed with the Flight App
D.The Flight App can decrease stress levels effectively
5.In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?
