根据下列材料,请回答下面的题目Look After Your VoiceOften speakers, at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva in your mouth. First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth. Or, press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flows. Or you can imagine that you are Slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.Before you begin your talk, be kind to your voice, Avoid milk or creamy drinks which dry your throat. Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.If you sense that you are losing your voice, stop talking completely. In the meantime, do not even talk in a low voice. Save your voice for your health. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes, but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice. If it is necessary , perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer.What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat? I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence. The second drink gives you even more confidence. Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything, but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly. Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.Perhaps you want to accept the advice, but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a lifetime. Of course you can. Goethe, who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools, said, "We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter". Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits. If you are willing to change, you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.To solve the problem of dry mouths, one is advised to take cool milk.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
阅读材料,回答下面的题目。The New Technology ApplicationOn a more mundane level, third-generation mobile telephones, despite all the delays and the billions squandered on 3G licenses by telecom firms, are still expected to offer consumers high-speed, always on mobile internet access, complete with video, in the next few years.Rapidly proliferating "WiFi" networks already offer wireless access on a local basis. Tiny tracking chips called radio-frequency identification devices are being used as pet passports.Soon they will be small, powerful and cheap enough to be implanted into everything form humans to milkcartons recording and transmitting real-time medical data, or serving as a form of inventory control.Sensors of every kind, including video cameras, should also become much smaller and cheaper.Forrester Research, a technology consultancy, predicts that 14 billion such devices will be connected to the internet by 2005.How rapidly such new technology is introduced will depend on a number of factors the state of the economy, the supply of investment capital and the appetite of consumers for new products or services ! Fortunes will be made and lost many times over.But whatever happens, the power of computing and communications look set to continue to grow, and its price to fall, at a steady rate for the next few decades.That will make it possible, at least in rich countries, to record most human interactions, wherever and whenever they take place, and to store and analyze this ocean of data at low cost.For the sake of argument, this survey will assume that we are heading towards a networked society of ubiquitous, mobile Communication capable of constant monitoring.Whether this arrives in 20,30 or 40 years does not really matter.The point is that the destination seems not merely possible, but probable, so it is not toosoon to ask: What do we want this technology to do?The internet has already thrown up a host of legal and political conundrums, but, these are only a small foretaste of the dilemmas about privacy, security, intellectual property and the nature of government itself that will have to be faced over the coming decades.The debate has already begun. This survey will outline some of main issues, and speculate on the way they are likely to go. Radio-frequency identification devices__________.

回答下面的题目:American SportsThe United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in Americatake a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw hugecrowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games,played forrecreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Mostsports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the timeof year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectatorsgreatly exceeds the number playing in the game.Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is playedthroughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play wellinto the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the onemost nearly like it is the English game of cricket.Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The gameoriginated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played byalmost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiumsof some of the largest universities seat as many as 80, 000 people. The game isnot the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmetsbecause the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in othercountries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoorsthroughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very populargame with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high schoolmatches are held yearly.Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horseracing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy ofthe term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the racescan be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do"not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon theoutcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old,in the US.
