Weight:240g.2）Sony M9 $49.95Small and very good looking, sonys latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise.

Weight: 195g.3）Sony M400 $115Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use . Recording was good but machine noise lost points.

Boy, I wish” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish forHe wished he had a brother like thatBut what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, Id love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a littleHe thought he knew what the boy wantedHe wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big carBut Paul was wrong again“Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the stepsThen in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fastHe was carrying his little crippled （残疾） brotherHe sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairsHis brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didnt cost him a centAnd some day Im going to give you one just like it Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that Ive been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his carThe shining-eyed older brother climbed in and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.24The street urchin was very surprised when _Ahe saw the shining carBPaul told him something about the carChe was walking around the carDPaul received an expensive car25From the story we know that the urchin _Awished to give his brother a carBwished Pauls brother to give him a carCwished Paul could be a brother like thatDwished he could have a brother like Pauls26The urchin asked Paul to stop his car in front of his house _.Ato show he had a rich friendBto show his neighbors the carCto tell his brother about his wishDto let his brother ride in the car27We can infer from the story that _.APaul couldnt understand the urchinBthe urchin had a deep love for his brotherCthe urchin wished to have a rich brotherDthe urchins wish came true in the endCMen are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutesa great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a tablewith many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eatas I did when I was a childat least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.”28 What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A. The improvement of cooks status.B. The influence of popular female chefs.C. The change of females view on cooking.D. The development of sexual equality campaign.29What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?A. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.B. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.C. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.30 How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A. It has become a thing of the past.B. It shouldnt be advocated (提倡) in modern times.C. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.D. It is very different from what it used to be.31 Which is the best title for the passage?A. Cooking into a New Trend for MenB. Equality between Men and WomenC. The Changes of Family MealsD. Cookinga Thing of the Past for WomenDDr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developging something called “computer face”. He also said that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（颚骨）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes.The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （过早的）signs(迹象) of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皱眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will end up with frown lines. Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a grumpy face without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often surprised by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that , after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.32 According to the passage, what makes women develop a “computer face”?A. Frowning every now and thenB. Concentrating on computers frequentlyC. Working too long in front of a screenD. Sitting in the same place for along time33According to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging?A. Turkey neck and frown linesB. Saggy jowls and short necksC. Deep-set wrinkles and angry facesD. Second neck and stressed muscles34The underlined word “grumpy”in Paragraph3 probably means?A. happy B. surprised C. angry D. relaxed35From the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_A. “computer face” is avoidableB. we should give up using computersC. we should break the habit of “grumpy face”D. the younger generation is worse at computers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。Quick tips for better time managementAre you a good time manager?
