$12 taxi ride. i had flown into dallas for the purpose of calling on a customer. time was limited and my plan included a quick turn-around trip from and back to the airport. a spotless taxi pulled up.

products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” -and many other brands are following suit. the bbcs iplayer - which allows web users to watch tv programs on the internet -used the title in 2008. a lovely bear - popular in the us and uk - that plays music and video is called “iteddy”. a slimmed-down version of londons independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”. in general, single-letter prefixes 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 major 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 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 ipod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says.“however, thanks to apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds thorne. clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the western world is centered on theindividual. each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized productsfor this reason.along with “google” and “blog”, readers of bbc magazines voted “i” as one 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 fashion disappeared. 32. people use iplayer to _.a. listen to music b. make a callc. watch tv programs online d. read newspapers33. the underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.a. popular b. uncertain c. clear d. unique34. nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _.a. portable b. environmentally friendly c. advanced d. recyclable35. the writer suggests that _.a. “i” products are often of high quality b. iteddy is alive bearc. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsd. the popularity of “i” products may not last long第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。the health benefits of journaling scientific evidence supports that journaling
