A misfortune may turn out a blessing. CThe iPhone , the iPad , each of Apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚
19、). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayerwhich allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internetused the title in 2008. A lovely bearpopular in the US and UK 一 that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A sl
20、immed-down version of Londons Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name “i”. In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the majo
21、r readers of Independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has
22、 become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPad , it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he 5says. “However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with por
23、tability.” adds Thorne. Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one
24、of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade. But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fa
25、shion disappeared. 28. People use iPlayer to _.A. listen to music B. make a callC. watch TV programs online D. read newspapers29.

26、 popular B. unique C. clear D. uncertain 31. The writer suggests that _.A. “i” products are often of high quality B. iTeddy is a live bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last longDYou are watching a film in which two men are having
27、a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until 6one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isnt really dead.
28、 With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work.
29、 They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they c
30、rash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmans success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of t
31、he explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落伞) failed to open, an
32、d he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stuntwomen, too!32. Stuntmen earn their living by_ .A. playing their dirty tricks B. jumping out of h
