一、阅读理解

When Sally and Tom got married, people thought they were the perfect couple. But things didn't work out. First they tried a separation. Living apart made them realize that they should never have gotten married. In May, their marriage ended in divorce.

When Jesse and Rachel got married, they knew they wanted to live in a traditional nuclear family -- mother, father, and biological children. Rachel had been born out of wedlock. Because her parents had never married, she had never met her biological father. Jesse's mother had been widowed. His father's early death made Jesse want to have a large family. So they decided that a more traditional arrangement was what they wanted.

When Doris and Henry decided to get married, their friends were surprised. Doris and Henry were only 20 years old, and their friends expected that the couple would delay marriage at least until they finished college. At the beginning of the 20thcentury the average age at which people married began to decline.

Sue doesn't see why anyone else should care whether or not she is married. When strangers ask her whether she is married, she tells them that her marital status is none of their business.

The proportion of people who never marry has been increasing. Many people, including gay men （男同性恋者）and lesbians（女同性恋者）, no longer feel that they must marry.

There’s a great story about an old Finnish woman who, without quite realizing it, was using her cell-phone to access the Internet and track her city’s public transit system. When asked why she used the wireless Internet so frequently, she replied, “What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about this wireless Internet stuff. I just know the bus is here.”

Regardless of whether you want to admit it, a lot of us are like that old Finnish woman. When it comes to new mobile applications, many of us do not realize the capability and power that we hold, literally, in our hands.

What we are looking at today is the mobile Internet in its infancy. Now that using the Internet from home or work has saturated much of society, the next logical step is to be able to use the Net when you are far away from your desktop or laptop. Speech recognition is one way to do this, and there are a number of services, collectively called the “voice Web”, that will make this possible. All you do is to use a phone or wireless device to call a phone number, and speak commands to an intuitive system. It will then give you the information you’re seeking, using either a synthesized voice or an audio file.

In the United States and Europe, the hot technology for wireless devices is called WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), which is being considered as the world standard. WAP is supported by major phone companies including Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson, and is simply a means of transmitting information, much like HTML which is a means of communicating on the Internet.

Currently, wireless Internet connections may give you news, sports scores, stock quotes, and the weather if you’re lucky. But if you’ve ever used this technology, you know it’s slow, costly and doesn’t seem worth the time and effort, if it works at all. All of this technology points to easier living. Perhaps you’ll need to find a restaurant for an occasional business meeting. You’ll press a button on your mobile phone, and access the Internet to pull up a list of great restaurants in your immediate area. You’ll hit another button, say a few words into the handset and you’ve got a reservation for four.

A.can be accessed by desktop computers
