  These days, if you still think the cellphone is just for talking, you’ll get laughed at.Yes, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date.Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer.The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them.Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year:

  Surf at speed

  Cellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years.So, what’s new?Well, faster third-generation(3G)networks that let you surf at anywhere.This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone.Possible choices are from LG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150.

  Listen as you go

  The problem with most Cellphone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs.But, that’s about to change.Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory.And Samsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive.Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.

  Say cheese

  Camera cellphones are not new either.But, most of them have limitations: around 1–megapixel(百万像素).But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common, and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon.Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K7501, offer limited zoom and focus controls.Others, like LG’s recent A7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full motion video.

  Portable TV

  You say you like“watching TV”?That’s what Samsung MM-A700 wants to give you.The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes-for a fee.Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940.The NEC model lets you watch public TV -no fee.

  The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months.Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator.

It’s become part of the restaurant table setting: knife, fork, napkin and cell phone.

      Distracted (思想不集中的) dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a Weibo photo of the meal they’re about to chew down or emailing the boss. For many smart-phone users, it’s hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.

      Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存) their phones at the door a 5-percent discount on their bill. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant, located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.

      “For us, it’s really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again,” he explained. “It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we’re trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.”

      Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cell phone usage, too. “I’m guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, it’s a wine glass, the silverware and the cell phone,” he joked.

      The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way to fid out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert.With cellphones becoming common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists for advice.  

    Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis.About 100 cardiac patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second.“Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger,”the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said.“We’re hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem.”  

    Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp.The system is operating among about 150 health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one day’s meals to several weeks’ worth. Results come back in three days. People can also log on a website to get further information.  

    Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University’s Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month.Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them.“Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate their portions,” Kimura said.“Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results.”  

As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help.
