On Tuesday, Apple’ CEO, Tim Cook, announced the Apple Watch. It is like a normal watch, but it can do all the things a mobile phone does — and more.

At US $349, the Apple Watch is expensive. Some people doubt that they will become as successful as smartphones. However, it seems that it will open another door for the use of computers. The watch taps you whenever a new message comes in. It prepares answers to questions you receive from friends. It checks your health. “It’s the most personal product we’ve ever made,” Cook said.

If the Apple Watch becomes popular, it will change the way the world communicates with computers. “It might not only be a change for Apple, but for the whole industry,” says technology expert, Daniel Ives.

How does it work?

The Apple Watch has a speaker that users can both hear and feel. You can press the side button to communicate with people quickly and easily. The Apple Watch also introduces health and fitness apps(应用程序)that can help people lead healthier lives.

You can try it.

According to Matt Vella, a writer for TIME magazine, the watch is “the most thrilling product since the iPad.”

After actually trying the watch, he says: “ There’s a lot we don’t know about the Apple Watch. How long will its battery last? How exactly will it connect with the iPhone? But wearing the watch answers some other questions. It is very comfortable. You can easily forget you are wearing the Apple Watch.”

25. What does the underlined sentence probably mean?

A. The Apple Watch will be successful as the smartphone.

B. Contrary to popular belief, many people dislike the Apple Watch.

C. Some people don’t think the Apple Watch will be as popular as smartphones.

D. Some people think the Apple Watch will be more popular than smartphones.

26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. The Apple Watch has a speaker.

B. The Apple Watch can check your health.

C. You can send messages with the Apple Watch.

D. The Apple Watch doesn’t need a battery.

27. What does Matt Vella think about the Apple Watch?

A. Exciting. B. Beautiful. C. Normal D. Expensive.

28. This passage is about ________.

A. how to choose the Apple Watch B. why people buy the Apple Watch

C. a new product D. a new method

C

When we perceive other people, we seldom describe a person in cold and objective words. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly---perhaps with a two-second glance.

We try to obtain information about others in may ways. Social scientist Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’ behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained(自然的) or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli（刺激）; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person: questions, self-disclosures(自我表露)， and so on.

Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and description. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsist
