　　Firefly is just a name．They are actually very cool insects．And they are not even flies, they are beetles．They have a way of sending out light signals every now and then．If you see them at night on a tree, you might think it is a brightly lit Christmas tree．That is the kind of light these fireflies produce．

　　But the light they send out does not have heat, like the bulbs we use．The firefly's light is cold。Aetually these beetles could be the most efficient bulbs if only we knew how to use them．For almost all the energy they produce gets changed into bright lightcool light．

　　How do they do it? The back portion of their stomachs are transparent．There are cells of crystals or chemical substances inside which get broken down by enzymes．Some energy is released in the form of light．

　　The fireflies send out 1ight signals at fixed intervals．And the purpose behind it is to attract beetles for mating．But one firefly's signal is different from another's, depending on its sex and the type of family it belongs to．If a firefly sends a signal at a fixed interval but gets a response either too soon or too late, it will ignore the signal．It is like a perfect dance sequence．If you are faster or slower than your partner, the dance fails．

　　Fireflies come from two families of beetles．One family of fireflies is usually found in Europe．North Ameriea and Australia．They are found on trees．The other family of fireflies is found in the Pacific islands．There is another type of beetle which gives out a softer 1ight．It is called the glow worm．

　　BEIJING－Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular(手机)network compatibility(兼容)for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion．

　　According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China．The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom(Hong Kong)Ltd．

　　China Unicom declined(谢绝)to comment．

　　Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland．Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed(超过)the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels．

　　Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale(高档的)IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront．Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China．She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2．

　　Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world．The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market．

　　The new stores reflect Apple’s confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers．Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost(增长)the company’s third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July．China revenue(收益)surged(激增)six-fold to about ＄3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25．

　　“This has been a substantial(重大)opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we’re just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China．“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there．”

　　Phone producers show us every year some really superb concept phones and even if 99％ of those phones never see the production line, they give us a small glimpse(一瞥)of what the phones will look like in the near future．We’ve made a list of what we think are the coolest concept phones presented in 2010．This is not a top, so the order is random(随机的)．Oh, and one more thing, remember, these are concept phones, which means they are not in production and are not for sale, so please don’t ask us where you can get them and what the prices are．

　　1．LG Flutter Concept Smart-phone

　　The LG Flutter has a face like the iPhone．The only difference is that the LG Flutter looks more like a fan or a killer’s tool which we see in sci-fi movies．

　　The Nokia Morph is created by Finnish company Nokia．The concept was the product of a joint study by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Center．

　　The phone could be bent into numerous shapes, so it can be worn around the wrist(手腕)or held up to the face．The transparent(透明)phone would allow it to be see-through yet functional．It has a self-cleaning surface that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone battery(电池)．

　　For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer：a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application)．

　　Strange though it may seem-“my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES)this week-Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install(安装)a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”．

　　Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted．This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad．

　　The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application．The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus．

　　Samsung says it's not just something new-the app connection actually has some practical uses．

　　“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt．

　　The company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money．

　　Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do-enable laziness．Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV．

(1)

What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?
[　　]
A．	The machine will be a big success．
B．	their wives like doing the laundry．
C．	The machine is unrelated to their life．
D．	This kind of technology is familiar to them．

(2)

What can we learn about the new laundry machines?
[　　]
A．	They can tell you when your clothes need washing
B．	They can be controlled with a smartphone
C．	They are difficult to operate
D．	They are sold at a low price

(3)

We can conclude form Samsung's statements that ________．
[　　]
A．	the app connection makes life easier
B．	it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C．	smartphone can shorten the drying time
D．	we should refresh clothes back at home

(4)

What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
[　　]
A．	The laundry should be frequently checked
B．	Lazy people like using such machines
C．	Good technologies also cause problems
D．	Television may help do the laundry．
