TOKYO— At first glance, Japanese cellphones are young people’s favorites, with elegant design and quick access to the Internet. However, despite years of competition in overseas markets, Japan’s cellphone makers have little presence beyond the country’s shores.

The only Japanese cellphone maker with any meaningful global share is Sony Ericsson, and that company is a London-based joint venture(合資企業(yè))between a Japanese electronics maker and a Swedish telecommunications firm.

And Sony Ericsson has been hit by big losses. Its market share was just 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 2009, behind Nokia of Finland, Samsung Electronics and LG of South Korea, and Motorola of Illinois.

This year, Mr Natsuno, who developed a popular wireless Internet service called i-Mode, invited some of the best minds in the field to debate how Japanese cellphones could go global.

“The most amazing thing about Japan is that even the average person out there will have a very advanced phone, ”said Mr Natsuno. Japan has 100 million users of advanced third-generation smart phones, twice the number of the United States, a much larger market. Many Japanese rely on their phones, not a PC, for Internet access.

Indeed, Japanese cellphone makers thought they had positioned themselves to dominate（支配）the age of digital data. But they were a little too clever. In the 1990s, they set a standard for the second-generation network that was refused everywhere else. Then Japan quickly adopted a third-generation standard in 2001. However, it made Japanese phones too advanced for most markets.

Several Japanese companies are now considering a push into overseas markets, including NEC. Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and Fujitsu are said to be planning similar moves.

“Japanese cellphone makers need to either look overseas, or exit the business”, said Kenshi Tazaki, a managing vice president at the consulting firm Gartner Japan.

Through the first paragraph, the author intends to tell us that___________.

A.Japanese cellphones are popular with young people

B.Japanese cellphones don’t sell well abroad

C.Japanese cellphones are very advanced

D.Japanese cellphones are specially designed for young people

The cellphone company with the largest global market share is located in______.

   A.Japan                  B.America                    C.South Korea                     D.Finland

Why are Japanese cellphone makers a little too clever?

   A.Because their technical standards are too advanced to be accepted overseas.

B.Because they only produce advanced cellphones.

C.Because they used the second-generation network earlier than others.

D.Because their phones are more advanced than PCs.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Japanese cellphone companies are unsuccessful.

B.Japan has more cellphone users than the US.

C.Japanese cellphone industry intends to expand overseas markets.

D.Going global—a difficult task for Japanese companies.

An allowance(零花錢) is an important tool for teaching kids how to make plans for the use of money, save and make their own decisions. Children remem­ber and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.
How large an allowance is suitable? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to re­gion, and from family to family.
To set an suitable allowance for your child, work up a weekly plan. Allow for entertainment costs such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. "If you make the child responsible for these bills’," says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, " he or she will learn to plan for nec­essary costs."
Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose buying power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out.
It can be tough, but don’t excuse your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Ste­phens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch." If you lose your money," Brooke’s mother told her, "you walk home."
One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. " Mom made me walk home," recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brook­lyn. " At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson. "
Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied di­rectly to a child’s daily housework at home. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her early habits.
【小題1】Which of the following is the possible title of the passage?

A．How to develop a child’s early habits.
B．How to work up an amount of pocket money.
C．How to teach a child about money.
D．How to teach a child to save money.
【小題2】 It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may ________.
A．spend all the money very soon
B．fall into the bad habit of wasting money
C．feel responsible and careful about money
D．lose the money and can not return home
【小題3】 In Paragraph 4, the words “his peers” refer to ________.
A．his parentsB．his friends
C．his financial expertsD．his teachers
【小題4】 Why does the writer mention Brooke Stephens?
A．To question the opinion about pocket money.
B．To compare Stephens with other financial experts.
C．To explain that parents should be strict when children are developing good habits about money.
D．To suggest pocket money is useless in developing a child’s sense of responsibility.
【小題5】 The writer implies in the passage that ________.
A．children may feel lonely if they have no pocket money
B．a(chǎn) child’s early good habits can be developed if he or she is paid for all the housework
C．paying children for their housework is no good
D．children may learn to put aside some money if they are given a great amount of pocket money
