Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only 17 and I was the only audience.

Siri. The intelligent assistant that helps you get things done. All you have to do is ask.

Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone 4S. Just talk to Siri as you would to a person: “Do I need an umbrella?” or “Where’s the closest ATM?” Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too.

Dual-core A5 chip: the most powerful iPhone ever.

Two cores in the A5 chip provide up to two times more power and up to seven times faster graphics. And you’ll feel the effects. iPhone 4S is quick and responsive, which makes all the difference when you’re launching apps, surfing the web, gaming, an doing just about everything. And no matter what you’re doing, you can keep on doing it. Because the A5 chip is so power-efficient, iPhone 4S has outstanding battery life.

FaceTime. It’s even better face-to-face.

FaceTime of iPhone 4S lets you hear a voice and see the face that goes with it—iPhone to iPhone, iPad 2, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi. So no matter where they are, no matter where you are, you’ll always be there. Making a FaceTime call is just as easy as making a phone call. And it’s even easier with Siri. Just tell Siri “FaceTime with Mom” and you show up, smile and wave hello. You’ll never miss a big event, an important meeting or a good laugh. And who wouldn’t be happy to see your face?

A woman saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, “I don't think I know you, but you must be very hungry. Please come in and find something to eat.”

“We do not go into a house together.” they replied.

“Why is that?” she asked.

One of the old men answered, “His name is Wealth, this is Success, and I am Love.” Then he said, “Now go in and discuss with your family which one of us you want in your house.”

Then the woman went in and told her family what was said. She said, “Let's invite Wealth. Let him come in and bring us nice things. We have been so poor.” His husband disagreed, “My dear, why don’t we invite Success? Don't you want me to be a successful man?” Then the daughter asked, “Would it be better to invite Love?

Do you know how important it is to have breakfast? A study of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast daily is helpful to young people.

According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more calories (卡路里) in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they burn more calories than non-breakfast eaters. The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.

The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks (零食) later in the day. This is good news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chips, are usually unhealthy and full of calories.

Another big advantage of eating breakfast is that it helps teenagers do better at school.This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.

What's more, a study in the UK showed that adults (成年人) who eat breakfast daily put on less weight and also perform better at work.

Whatever your age is, take time to have breakfast every day.

34. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that
