claims to have developed the first mobile TV chip for the market which can change hundreds of thousands of mobiles into micro TVs With this chip people can receive TV signals on their phones and watch programs without any time or space limitations As long as the handset terminal 接收终端设备 has a colored screen and a battery our chip can turn it into a mobile TV said Meng Fei director of Innofidei s business development department The chip can be placed into a cell phone a PDA an MP4 a digital camera or even a laptop He said that this together with plans by China s state broadcaster would ensure the 2008 Games lives up to its promise as a People s Olympics Our chips are cheap so that cell phones with them will not be much different in price from regular phones Meng said CCTV will offer some

The best title for this passage would be A A new invention for Olympics B A new generation of cell phones C Watching live games on TV for free D People s Olympics C Why do we call the sounds of birds whales and insects songs Because something about what we hear seems to have beauty and some mellifluous 动听的 structure that touches us more than any possible message Though for many years science has cautioned against hearing too much of what we humans would like to hear when we are trying to understand animal sounds the musicality in some sounds is now starting to have an effect on the science of animal communication itself Many specific animal sounds express aggression 进攻 warning or food but such practical explanations are tough to apply to the long songs Some whale songs can go on for up to 24 hours The usual explanation for birdsong is that the birds are singing to attract mates or to announce the limits of their area But the audience is not always evident for these long love songs which have many of the elements related to human music rhythm melody 旋律 themes repeating patterns organization variety interest all adding up to something humans have found beautiful for thousands of years Birds taught man wrote Roman poet and philosopher 哲学家 Lucretius and taught them songs before their art began What is the scientific value of such sounds The advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to reach out to nature through music is that though we don t fully understand it it is so accessible Music refuses explanation but it clearly expresses something deep and important which

message such as aggression 用心 爱心 专心 6 and caring D It is not very long for people to know that birdsong does have something beautiful 45 By saying Birds taught man what did Lucretius mean A People teach rhythm melody themes repeating patterns to birds B Birds can teach people how to go on singing a song up to 24 hours C Human music has in fact come from the sounds of birds in nature D Humans learned something beautiful from the sounds of many animals 46 From the passage we know that music in nature A can t be explained at all B is very easy to pick up and listen to C can t be understood at all D is of no scientific value D Try imagining what the world will be like in the year 3000 Some serious thinkers are starting to imagine just that Bart I don t know that present day electronic chips are but some sort of chips I d guess maybe plastic Our three pound brain is definitely a wonder perhaps the greatest wonder of natural biology In this coming century we ll be re engineering the

and the ideal Heaven is where you run the whole thing yourself The current means of getting to Heaven involve various supernatural systems for which at this point there s no scientific evidence So I think we can reduce Heaven to an engineering project which we re doing The demand for Heaven is great witness the desire of every human heart from the people who built the ancient pyramids to modern society to live beyond one s given time Our plan is to change human consciousness from the brain to bits of information in a computer chip or some other kind of computational medium so that just by thinking we ll be able to create our own personal world And I think the first stage of Heaven will be the feeling world and beyond that I think we d find a higher more spiritual plane 47 According to
