(11)When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label(标签) telling whomade it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely.However, There is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren’t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying.

(12)When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车)to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile phone removes our secret. It allows Manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near —but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines(at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.1. How do you understand “ Point 1—The telephone creates the need to communicate” ?A. People don't communicate without telephone.B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.D. People communicate more because of more traffic.2. Which points do you think best support the idea that phones improve people's life?A. Point 3 and point 4B. Point 1 and point 5C. Point 1 and point 3D. Point 2 and point 53. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _______.A. the TV screenB. a fax machineC. the phone line hooked up to the computerD. a microphone【答案与解析】本文阐述了电话不仅仅改变了我们的生活，其好处不胜枚举。
