Apple’s newest product, the iPad Mini, is a downsized brother of the 100-million selling iPad product line. I think if Steve Jobs were still around, this product wouldn’t exist (存在). He was strongly against a device (装置) this size. The technical details of the device may shake Apple’s fans, and leave Android fans pleased. Here are four reasons you should not buy this new piece of Apple hardware.
The Resolution (分辨率)
The iPad Mini is a thin, beautiful piece. Visit the official iPad Mini product page, and you’ll see it said to be “Every Inch An iPad.” Unfortunately the 7.9″ screen’s 1024 x 768 resolution is the same as the iPad 2 — a device now two generations (代) old. I find it funny that Apple is pushing their Retina technology, while at the same time producing an iPad Mini with a lower resolution. Newcomers to the iPad will not be impressed, and existing iPad owners probably will not choose to buy the iPad Mini as a second device.
The Price
Apple asks for $329 for an iPad Mini. However, Google’s Nexus 7 is priced at $249, and the search giant includes a $25 voucher (优惠券). It used to be enough for Apple to pull back the curtain on a new product to cause praise, but now the fierce competition has led to dirty marketing.
The Short Life Cycle
Apple has now proved they have no problem introducing a new revision (修订) of their products every six months. With the 4th generation iPad available (可以得到的) soon, it’s nothing less than a slap in the face to Apple fans. We should expect a similar treatment of the iPad Mini. By summer 2013, expect Apple to roll out an iPad Mini 2.
The A 5 Chip (芯片)
This is the same chip powering the iPad 2 — a device now two generations old — and the iPod Touch. Apple is a brilliant technology company. Some may call them a lifestyle company. The iPad is worth every bit of praise and success it has gained so far. But this time, Apple didn’t come up with a new and clever product.
53.What would happen if Steve Jobs were still alive?
A. Apple wouldn’t produce the iPad Mini.
B. He would make the iPad Mini more popular.
C. Android fans would be happy for the new product.
D. The technical details of the iPad Mini would be better.
54.Which of the follwing is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The resolution of the iPad Mini is high enough.
B. Using too many electronic devices is bad for health.
C. Google has similar products with a higher price.
D. The newest iPad Mini will go out of date very soon.
55. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The failure of Apple.
B. An introduction of an iPad Mini.
C. Reasons one shouldn’t buy an iPad Mini.
D. The advantages and disadvantages of an iPad Mini.
56.What can you infer about the author’s attitude?
A. The author admires Steve Jobs very much.
B. The author isn’t much of a fan of the iPad Mini.
C. The author thinks Apple isn’t as good as Google.
D. The author considers all Apple products useless.

What’s going to happen in the future? Here are some things that scientists say is most likely to happen 10 to 30 years from now.
1. Digital money
We used to pay with cash(现金)for everything we bought. In fact, we are already using one type of digital money, when we swipe(刷)our bus pass or use a credit card(信用卡)to shop online.
You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pocket for change. It is also _________ than _________a lot of cash with you. You needn’t worry about your cash being stolen. People in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year and the US might be next.
2. Bionic(仿生的)eye
(1)People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back---by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data into the brain.
Although the bionic eye that’s out now only allow patients to see lights and unclear shapes, a high resolution(高清的)version could be just a few years away.
3. Self-driving car
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t be distracted (分神)by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors(探测器)and cameras on the car would allow it to keep strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. Many vehicle companies are now planning self-driving cars. By 2040, driverless vehicles will be the main vehicles on the road.
