If you don′t think a phone is the right gift for a lover, the smart choice this year is a smart phone.
For people who don′t read instructions
The easiest-to-use phone is the iPhone. It′s that has pushed it to the No.1 selling position, surpassing the Motorola Razr. The iPhone′s touch screen is easy to operate and it′s also easy to customize (用户化). The iPhone can run all sorts of applications such as those help you to lose weight, identify a song on the radio, find a restaurant or do many other things.
For the futurist
The T-Mobile G1 is very popular as it is the first phone to offer a Google browser, meaning that you′re getting the real web on your phone, but it′s the phone′s potential that qualifies it for the futurist. The exciting applications are interesting, but they don′t always work smoothly. Sometimes it is hard to use the applications it comes with. The system should improve as it becomes more popular, so it holds great promise. With few restrictions on the design of applications for the phone, the G1 could be the first phone to incorporate (整合) some of the coolest.
For the road warrior
The new BlackBerry Storm is something like the equivalent (等同物) of a mullet--a business up front, party in the back. It still incorporates the serious mail and organization features that have endeared (使受钟爱) these phones to business people. The 3.25-inch is bright and detailed and it′s a decent size for watching videos on the go.
For the Luddite (反对技术进步的人)
For those who can′t handle buttons and new features, there is the Samsung Jitterbug Dial. Some people are Luddites who just want a few large buttons to make calls. That′ s it, just calls. That makes it even easier to use an iPhone.
According to the passage, why is the BlackBerry Storm popular with business people? (no more than 10 words)

第二篇A Phone That Knows You're BusyIt's a modern problem : you're too busy to be disturbed by incessant（连续不断的） phone calls so you turn your cellphone off.But if you don't remember to turn it back onwhen you're less busy,you could miss some important calls.If only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you,you wouldn't have to turn it off at all.Instead,it could let calls through when you are not too busy.A bunch of behavior sensors（传感器）and a clever piece of software could do just that,by analyzing your behavior to determine if it's a good time to interrupt you.If built into a phone,the system may decide you're too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later.James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system on tiny microphones,cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity.First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones strongly predict whether your mind is interrupted.The potential"busyness"signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed,the time of day,if other people were with the person in question, how close they were to each other,and whether or not the computer was in use.The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work. At random intervals,the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from "highly interruptible"to"highly not-interruptible".Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors. " It is a shotgun（随意的）approach: we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics find out which were important,"says Hudson.The model showed that using the keyboard,and talking on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be.Interestingly,the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted.The computer got it right 82 percent of the time,humans 77 percent.Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message,whereas computers don't care.The first application for Hudson and Fogarty's system is likely to be in an instant messaging system,followed by office phones and cellphones. "There is no technological roadblock（障碍）to it being deployed in a couple of years,"says Hudson.A big problem facing people today is thatA:they must tolerate phone disturbances or miss important calls.B:they must turn off their phones to keep their homes quiet.C:they have to switch from a desktop phone to a cellphone.D:they are too busy to make phone calls.答案：A解析：

Mobile Phones:Change Our LifeIn the case of mobile phones,change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture,but our very bodies as well.First,Let's talk about culture.The difference between the mobile phone and its parent一the fixed-line phone,is that a mobile phone corresponds to a person,while a landline goes to a place.If you call my mobile,you get me.If you call my fixed-line phone,you get whoever answers it.This has several implications.The most common one,however,and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever,is the"meeting"influence.People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.Twenty years ago,a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance.You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place.Now,however,a night out can be arranged on the run.It is no longer"see you there at 8", but"text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are".Texting changes people as well.In their paper,"Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging",two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users:the"talkers"and the"texters”一those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text message to voice.They found that the mobile phone's individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality.Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts.This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language.There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone.There is the"speakeasy":the head is held high,in a self-confident way,chatting away.And there is the"spacemaker":these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them?Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people's privacy. So,it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous.But perhaps you needn't worry so much.After all,it is good to talk.When arranging a night out,people may text each other.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：本题给出的信息是错误的。原文是："If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it."本题给出的信息是正确的。原文是："Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run .It is no longer 'see you there at 8',but 'text me around 8 and we'll see where we all are'."文章没有谈到这方面的信息。本题给出的信息是错误的。原文是："This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well."本题给出的信息是正确的。原文是："And there is the 'spacemaker': these people focus on themselves and keep out other people."文章没有谈到这方面信息。文章没有谈到这方面信息。
