18、o you send and receive more phones calls or e-mail? If your answer is e-mail, or you wish it were, then a new breed of telecommunications devices called an e-mail phone or Internet phone may soon find its way into your kitchen or living room. Essentially, an e-mail phone, or e-phone for short, is th
19、e merger of telephone and computer. With most of these new screen phones, that means being able to read and reply to electronic mail directly from the phone, without starting up(or even owning)a PC.

24、be set to check several times a day automatically. In automatic mode, the phone flashes to tell you mail is waiting.

25、hat it cannot receive(or send)attached files, whether they contain documents or graphics.

32、l conditions. And yet there are increasing fears that this human-dominated phase of the earths long history does much harm to the earth.

36、rth, “We still have time to do something about these things, but time is now extremely short. There is an increasingly confident assessment about the likelihood of the consequences of global climate change, and the time scales that we have to deal with it. “The international response has been mixed.
37、 The 1997 Kyoto protocol committed industrialized nations to cut their combined greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels by 2008, 12, but was undermined after the United States, the biggest global polluter, declined to approve the deal. Washington opposed Kyotos methods rather than its aims. It ac
38、knowledged something needs to be done, calling for the country to cure its addiction to oil. Whatever the consensus on diagnosis, there is little agreement on action, something the UNEP warns must change. To tackle global warming, it warns that only a fundamental change in lifestyle and economy, wit
39、h a significant moderation in the consumption of resources, can bring any hope of a solution.46 By saying that “humans have never had it so good“(Line1, Para. 2), the author means that people nowadays_ .（A）enjoy a much better life than before（B） has reached the peak of civilization（C） are more power

45、all over the world. Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, situation comedies and comedians are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. But why do we
46、laugh? After all, its not exactly a trait we share with other animal species. Philosopher John Morreall believes that the first human laughter may have begun as a gesture of shared relief at the passing of danger. And since the relaxation that results from laughter inhibits the biological fight-or-l
