New technology marrying the Internet with mobile phones will be the next big wave in telecommunications and will have a great effect on the way of lifeindustry experts in Singapore for an international conference said last week.
Consumers(消費者) will soon be showing off tiny“communication devices”that join mobile telephones, Internet terminals(終端機), music systems, cameras and other uses, Nokia executive(總裁) Bo Ilsoe said.
The devices will become smaller, and as common as watches, Ilsoe believed“We have to liberate the Internet from the desktop and we have to rethink what a mobile phone is, because it's no longer a mobile phone,”said Ilose, a marking director for Nokja.
Tiny, wireless computers using satellites and videoondemand services will soon have people “switching(開關) between your stock(股票) prices and television programs”wherever they go, said Subra Venkat, a communications director at Oracle Corporation. Both executives were in Singapore for CommunicAsia'99, Asia's largest telecommunications conference. More than 27,000 industry insiders and 900 companies were connected with the June 2225 event, organizes said.
Though small, portable(手提的)Intemet computer' with builtin mobile phones are alreadyon the market, they have had limited success. Internettelephone technology(IT) must be made easier to use, and must be used no matter what kind of phone one has, Ilsoe said. This will be aided largely by a planned mobile phone operating system called Symbian, he added.

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ edsire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more envitonmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies,with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison, chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clocd is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a mediun-term benefit for the brand.”
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses bo buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing.“When companies are granted(授予)the standard, they can use a logo(標識)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr.Morrison said.
64.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B.Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C.Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D.Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’environmental awareness.
65.The underlined word“inform”in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.
A.affect B.change C.disturb D.reject
66.According to Harry Morrison, businesses .
A.will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B.should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C.are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D.have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere

B
Whether rich or poor, we all have problems: that unfaithful mate, that annoying colleague, that persistent(持久的) disease, and the investment that is turning into a huge loss.
How can we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of
life?
The following suggestions may help.
It comes with the pay. I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and
unreasonable boss. Sounds familiar? One day I told her, "Look at it this way. You are getting
paid for the annoyance as well as the work. It comes with the pay. "
This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations. "Take every day as a bo-
nus. " When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole
new attitude.
It's all in the mind. Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important that we work at resol-
ving problems. But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would
only compound(使更復雜) the frustration.
If you tell yourself there isn' t a problem, there won' t be one. It is all in the mind.
Stop thinking about your own problem-help others instead. A lady who is struggling a
life-threatening disease showed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering
help to others in a similar situation.
She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer. She says that the sharing
has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.
Never give up on your dream. Why do we give in or give up when we meet difficulities?
ls it because we have no confidenee in our cause and no commitment (承擔義務)for what we
pursue?
One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy.
She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to assassin's( 暗殺者) bullet--Boddy Kennedy:"And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to
the past, but we shall carry on with courage. "
Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? I' ve learned that care as you
might, love as,you might, some people don't care back.
And it is not the end of the world. After all, it's not the event that makes a person, is it?
It's what we do about what happens to us.
It was said that Albert Einstein' s last request on his death bed was to be given his equa-
tions(方程式) and his unfinished statement. Einstein first picked up his equations and lament-
ed(悲嘆) to his son, "if only I had more mathematics!" What a great persistent spirit!

A. some people have many problems while some have none

A. how to face problems B. how to resolve problems

C. we should make advances every day D. we should enjoy ourselves every day
