• Music ID, a feature that lets you look up unfamiliar songs through the service's database(数据库), which has more than 3 million artists and titles. Users recognize a song by holding the Centro up to a speaker, and MusicID spits back information such as the title, artist and cover art. The program also keeps track of previous IDs and lets users share what they find with friends through text messages for $3.99 a month.

63. Morey named the fund “Pay It Forward” in the hope of people’s ________.

       A. donations to the fund                B. courage to fight against cancer

C. helpfulness to others         D. attention to her meaningful action

C

There is a time when a smart phone like the Palm Centro would turn heads and drop jaws. The new product with a color touch screen, full keyboard and the Palm operating system for $99 would put devices like the first-generation Kyocera Palm smart phones to shame.

The Centro does what you'd expect a smart phone to do: combine voice, text messaging, instant messaging, e-mail, music and the Web. It also includes basic functions such as a speakerphone, conference calling and Bluetooth.

Some other features(特征) giving the Centro a bit of pride include:

62. Grants from the fund only go to the patients ________.

       A. who promise to give away money to the fund later

       B. who will help to popularize the fund

       C. who are suffering really severe cancer

       D. who will give love and care to other cancer sufferers

61. The following facts EXCEPT ________ can explain why Morey was fortunate though she was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer.

       A. that she earned a lot of money                

B. that she received grants from the fund

       C. that she had many helpful relatives and friends

       D. that she didn’t have to worry about being fired

Morey had no idea how much cancer cost working women. But at 37, when her own cancer was discovered, she was unable to work for three months after her treatments. It was another two months before she could return full-time. No one fired her for taking so many sick days; she co-owned a computer-services business with her sister. And with a comfortable income and a large network of family and friends to cook meals and babysit her two young sons, she and her husband didn't have to worry about keeping their family together while she struggled to recover.
    Few of the other patients she met at the clinic were so fortunate. The day Morey and her husband decided to begin their monthly donations, she learned of a woman who was losing weight because she had cut back on food to pay for the treatment. "I knew then that we were doing the right thing," says Morey. "Nobody talks about the financial(经济) influence of cancer, and it's huge."
    Michelle Morey has realized benefits herself. For an entire year, she cried every time she went to the clinic for treatments. "But once I started the Pay It Forward Fund, I stopped crying," she says. "It's funny, but the fund supported me too."
60. How long did it take Morey to go back to full-time work from her cancer treatments?

A. 2 months               B. 3 months                C. 5 months         D. forever

59. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

       A. Katy was reading two messages when she ran into a tree

       B. Perez makes more calls than sending messages on cell phones

       C. emergency physicians don’t allow drivers to text while they are driving

       D. sending messages on the phone is attractive to both teenagers and youths

B

    After learning how much her first donation(捐赠) had helped, Morey created the Pay It Forward Fund(基金会), which now serves patients at three Minneapolis-area hospitals. Grants（援助金） come with a simple request: that people who receive them find a way to pay the gifts forward through acts of kindness toward others fighting cancer(癌症). In just two years, the fund has raised more than $250,000 and has helped nearly 150 women.

       C. laws won’t help much to change the present situation

       D. it’s crazy that so many people get injured while texting

57. The most suitable title for the passage is ________.

       A. A Fantastic Lifestyle: Texting, not Calling

       B. A New Danger: Texting While Walking

       C. Texting: Easier and Less Formal

       D. Texting While Walking? No Way!
