is nearimpossible in the southern winter，and there are fears that the penguin may have acquired infections in the warmer new zealand environment that could spread to other penguins.on wednesday，a group headed by the department of conservation decided officials will help the penguin get part of the way home by releasing it into the southern ocean，southeast of new zealandand letting it swim the rest of the way.“the reason for not returning the penguin directly to antarctica is that emperor penguins of this age are usually found north of antarctica on pack ice and in the open ocean，”the

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 iphone wasnt popular in chinabits product quality was widely criticizedcthe earnings for the holiday quarter were disappointingdthe

students. we hope that more advanced learners and teachers will also find it useful.the book is a comprehensive survey of structures and forms, written in clear modern english and illustrated with numerous examples. areas of particular difficulty have been given special attention. differences between conversational usage and strict grammatical forms are shown but the emphasis is on controversial forms.in the fourth edition，the main changes are as follows.1. explanation and examples have been brought up to date.2. there is now more information on countable and uncountable nouns, attributive and predicative adjectives, adverbs of place, sentence adverbs, cleft sentences, prepositions, conjunctives, modal verbs, perfect tenses, infinitive constructions, the passive, purpose clauses.3. some material has been rearranged to make comparisons easier. for example, parts of chapters on can, may, must, etc. are now grouped by functions; verbs of liking and preference have a chapter to themselves; suggestions and invitations have joined the chapter on commands, requests and advice.4. the content list now summaries every edition heading, and there is a new index containing many more references.in this edition the sign “” is frequently used to show a change of speakers in examples of dialogues. although the sign “” sometimes connects two words or expressions with the same meaning, it is often used more freely, eg. to indicate a transformation from active to passive or direct to indirect speech.we wish to thank all at oxford university press who have assisted in the preparation of the fourth edition. we would also like to thank professor egawa of nihon university, japan, professor rene dirven of duisburg university, germany and other colleagues for their friendly and helpful suggestions.london, november 1985 aj.t., avm1the grammar book mentioned in this passage is not suitable for _aa middle school teacherba primary school studentca senior high
