　　On the day Apple debuted the often-delayed white-colored iPhone 4, the company's marketing department gave a nod to the product's troubled history．

　　"Finally．" read the big headline Thursday above a picture of the white phone on the homepage of Apple．com．

　　The white model was supposed to ship alongside the black one at the iPhone 4's launch(推出)last June．But design and manufacturing complications delayed the process by 10 months, catching Apple off guard, executives say．

　　As CNN reported last month, earlier test models of the white iPhone 4 produced unclear photos, especially when the flash(闪光灯)was used．Its whiteness confused the proximity sensor(距离传感器), which detects when the phone is held next to someone's head and turns off the touch screen to save battery life．

　　These problems weren't present in older iPhones that came in white because they didn't have flash photography; the proximity sensor was unaffected because the front side of previous models was black．

　　"We thought we were there a year ago, or less than that, when we launched the iPhone 4, and we weren't," Philip Schiller, Apple's chief marketing executive, said in an interview．"It's not as simple as making something white．There's a lot more that goes into both the material science of it－how it holds up over time…but also in how it all works with the sensors．"

　　Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White predicts that the white model could help drive sales of Apple's phones．He says Apple could sell 1 million to 1．5 million every three months until the next iPhone model is unveiled, which is expected to be this fall．

　　Forty-five people were lined up at Apple's flagship New York store Thursday morning to buy white iPhones, according to a CNN Money report．

　　Astronaut Jim Voss has enjoyed many memorable moments in his career, including three space flights and one space walk．But he recalls with special fondness a decidedly earthbound(为地球引力所束缚的)experience in the summer of 1980, when he participated in the NASAASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship Program．Voss, then a science teacher at West Point, was assigned to the Marshall Space Flight Center’s propulsion(推进)lab in Alabama to analyze why a hydraulic fuel pump seal on the space shuttle was working so well when previous seals had failed．It was a seemingly tiny problem among the vast complexities of running the space program．Yet it was important to NASA because any crack in the seal could have led to destructive results for the astronauts who relied on them．

　　“I worked a bit with NASA engineers, ” says Voss, “but I did it mostly by analysis．I used a handheld calculator, not a computer, to do a thermodynamic(热力学的)analysis．” At the end of the summer, he, like the other NASA-ASEE fellows working at Marshall, summarized his findings in a formal presentation and detailed paper．It was a valuable moment for Voss because the ASEE program gave him added understanding of NASA, deepened his desire to fly in space, and intensified his application for astronaut status．

　　It was not an easy process．Voss was actually passed over when he first applied for the astronaut program in 1978．Over the next nine years he reapplied repeatedly, and was finally accepted in 1987．Since then he has participated in three space missions．The 50-year-old Amy officer, who lives in Houston, is now in training for a four-month mission as a crew member on the International Space Station starting in July 2000．

　　Voss says the ASEE program is wonderful for all involved．“It brings in people from the academic world and gives NASA a special property for a particular period of time．It brings some fresh eyes and fresh ideas to NASA, and establishes a link with our colleges and universities, ”Voss explains．“There’s an exchange of information and an exchange of perspectives that is very important．”

　　For the academic side, Voss says, the ASEE program also “brings institutions of higher learning more insight into new technology．We give them an opportunity to work on real-world problems and take it back to the classroom”．

(1)

The great significance of Voss’ findings lies in _______． Ⅰ．strengthening his determination to join in space flights Ⅱ．furthering his understanding of NASA Ⅲ．consolidating his astronaut status in NASA programs
[　　]
A．	Ⅰ only
B．	Ⅱ only
C．	Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ all included
D．	Ⅰ and Ⅱ only

(2)

How many flights will Voss has finished if his four-month mission starting in July 2000 ends up successfully?
[　　]
A．	Three．
B．	Two．
C．	Four．
D．	Five．

(3)

Which of the following is not true according to what Voss said on the ASEE program．
[　　]
A．	Fresh members from the academic world participate in the program．
B．	The program brings new outlooks to NASA space programs．
C．	It’s important for the space scientists to exchange information and perspectives．
D．	American colleges and universities are special property of NASA．

(4)

What does Voss want to stress in the last Paragraph?
[　　]
A．	The technological significance of the program．
B．	The educational significance of the program．
C．	The philosophical significance of the program．
D．	The historical significance of the program．
