The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” — and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer — which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet — adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear — popular in the US and UK — that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads(一时的狂热). From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend eventually disappeared.

1.People use iPlayer to ______.

A. listen to music

B. make a call

C. watch TV programs online

D. play computer games

2.We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is aimed at ______.

A. fashionable women B. young readers

C. old readers D. engineers

3. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are ______.

A. environmentally friendlyB. advanced

C. recyclable D. portable

4.The writer suggests that ______.

A. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

B. “i” products are often of high quality

C. iTeddy is a live bear popular in the US and UK

D. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device, and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by two guys out of their garage. So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a little leery of the security levels.

Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虚拟) shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.

Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for Internet shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund(返还) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!

There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line-ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.

When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies(速递公司)getting in on the act, you never need wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.

No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.

1. The underlined word “leery” means .

A. satisfiedB. distrustful

C. hopefulD. sad

2. leads to consumers’ trust in online shopping.

A. Shopping lawB. Shopping convenience

C. Internet accessD. Shopping security

3.Which group of words would the writer use to describe current Internet shopping?

A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal.

B. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient.

C. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow.

D. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable.

4. The following are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping

EXCEPT_________.

A. internet companies B. courier companies

C. advertising companiesD. credit card companies
