专题限时训练(三十)时闻型阅读理解(限时：25分钟)(一)as apple tries to maintain its growth and success in china, the worlds largest smart phone market is becoming even more critical. apples shares(股份) fell sharply as the companys earnings for the holiday quarter through december disappointed investors.the sales of the iphone, which included both the iphone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts expectations, while the companys income plan for the second quarter was below analysts forecasts, though apple was known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.some analysts have said that for apple to regain its growth, the company needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for china, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. in china, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on android(安卓) operating system, sold by many chinese phone makers as well as koreas samsung electronics co.but apple says its already enjoying strong growth in china. “we saw big growth in iphones，” chief executive officer tim cook said. he said that the company had been quickly expanding its sales channels in china, including the number of apple stores. “this isnt nearly what we need; were not even close to that, but were making great progress，” he said.in china, a big missing piece for apple is china mobile ltd, the biggest local telecom carrier that doesnt yet sell the iphone. earlier this month, mr cook met china mobile chairman xi guohua in beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the worlds largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iphone.earlier this month, the wall street journal reported that apple was working on a lowerend iphone that could launch as early as this year. but one possible challenge for apple in china is that lowpriced androidbased phones are getting better in terms of quality. a report from clsa in late november showed that many smart phones sold at about 1，000 yuan ($160) came with higherresolution screens, better cameras and more powerful processors than phones at that price did a year earlier.1apples shares dropped sharply because in december_athe

last month.steinunn jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the icelandic meteorological office, told the bbc that the volcano was “kind of not active for the moment”“the history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again，” she said.“there are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption.”magnus gudmundsson, of iceland university, flew over the volcano on sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallenbelow 100.but he told the afp news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 18211823.“it stopped and started again several times with different intervals(间隔), so its difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline，” he said.he also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring katla volcanoa much larger mountainmight also erupt.at the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.it was the biggest action of closing airspace in europe since world war

published plans to gradually allow migrant workers children to enter senior high schools and sit college entrance exams locally.they are the latest in a total of 13 provinces and municipalities(市) to formulate plans to ensure that rural children who have followed their parents to cities can enjoy the same rights as their urban peers in education.beijing will allow migrant workers children to attend local vocational schools in 2013 and allow them to be matriculated by universities after graduating from the vocational programs in 2014, said a statement from the citys commission of education.shanghai took a step further, saying it will allow migrant children in the city to enter local senior high schools, vocational schools and sit college entrance exams (commonly known as gaokao) locally starting in 2014.guangdong has asked its cities to start recruiting(招收) migrant workers children in local senior high schools in 2013. the province will allow these children to sit gaokao and compete with local residents in college entrance exams starting in 2016. luo weiqi said the restrictions would be relaxed gradually and “step by step” as the province must solve the conflict between its gigantic migrant population and a scarcity of education resources.migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plans of the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.chinas hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to attending schools in their home provinces. a regulation in 2003 amended this by allowing migrant workers children to receive the nineyear compulsory education in cities where their parents worked.official figures show that china has more than 250 million farmersturnedworkers living in cities. an estimated 20 million children have migrated with their parents to the cities.1whats the best title of this passage?achinas educational
