That meant multi-year service agreements, expensive monthly bills and new fees. Now, Verizon is forcing even more expensive shared data plans on new consumers, and AT&T is preparing to promote similar plans.Fortunately, these days you can avoid the big guys and still get some of the best smartphones with no agreement, and save money in the long run by paying a lower monthly bill.Here are three of the best phones you can get without a traditional $70-and-up monthly bill. Theyre not the only low-cost options, but all three are also currently available on major wireless carriers at a higher monthly price. Consider these alternatives if youre on an individual plan and want to save some cash:Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus with T-Mobile Value PlanSamsung Galaxy S IIwith TingApple iPhone 4S (16 GB)with Virgin MobileSpecs4.65-inch display(1280-by-720 resolution),dual-core processor,5-megapixel camera,16 GB storage;runs Android 4.14.5-inch display(800-by-480 resolution),dual-core processor,8-megapixel camera,16 GB storage;runs Android 2.33.5-inch display(960-by-640 resolution),dual-core processor,8-megapixel camera,16 GB storage;runs iOS 5Phone Price$349$435 (white model)$650Service Cost$45 per month for unlimited data (slowed down after 2 GB), 500 minutes, pay-per-text$57 per month for 2 GB of data, 500 minutes, pay-per-text (estimated)$35 per month forunlimited data (slowed down after 2.5 GB), 300 minutes and unlimited textTotal Two-Year Cost$1429(Compare to $1830 on Verizon with 2GB of data and 450 minutes)$1,803(Compare to $2,020 on AT&T with 450 minutes, unlimited data and text)$1,490(Compare to $2,020 on AT&T with 450 minutes, unlimited data and text)16.

Apple iPhone 4S with AT&TBThe table before which we sit may be, as the scientist maintains, composed of dancing atoms, but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms but a solid and motionless object that we live. So remote is this “real” tableand most of the other “realities” with which science dealsthat it cannot be discussed in terms which have any human value, and though it may receive our purely intellectual credence it cannot be woven into the pattern of life as it is led, in contradistinction to life as we attempt it. Vibrations in the ether(以太) are so totally unlike the color, purple that the gulf between them cannot be bridged, and they are, to all intents and purposes，not one but two separate things of which the second and less “real” must be the most significant for us. And just as the sensation which has led us to attribute all objective reality to a non-existent thing which we called “purple”is more important for human life than the conception of vibrations of a certain frequency; so too the belief in God; however ill founded, has been more important in the life of man than the germ theory of true the latter may be. We may, if we like, speak of consequence, as certain mystics love to do, of the different levels or orders of truth. We may adopt what is essentially a Platonistic (布拉图式的) trick of thought and insist upon postulating the existence of external realities which correspond to the needs and modes of human feeling and which, so we may insist, have their being in some part of the universe unreachable by science. But to do so is to make an unwarrantable assumption and to be guilty of the metaphysical fallacy of failing to distinguish between a truth of feeling and that other sort of truth which is described as “truth of correspondence” and it is better perhaps, at least for those of us who have grown up inthought, to steer clear of such confusions and to rest content with the admission that, though the universe with which science deals is the real universe, yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts with it; that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-take place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.19. The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling difference between scientific truth and the world of illusion, the reader should_.A) try to rid himself of his world of illusionB) accept his words as being one of illusionC) apply the scientific method D) learn to acknowledge both20. According to this passage, a scientist would conceive of a “table” as being _.A) a solid motionless object B) certain characteristic vibrations in “ether”C) a form fixed in space and timeD) a mass of atoms in motion21. The topic of this selection is_.A) the distortion of reality by science B) the confusion caused by emotionsC) Platonic and contemporary views of truthD) the place of scientific truth in our lives22. By “objective reality” (Last line, Para. 1) the author means_.A) scientific reality B) a symbolic existenceC) the viewers experience D) reality colored by emotionCEven while in a deep sleep, people can still learn brand new information. Sleepers soak in new associations between smells and sounds, knowledge that lingers(逗留) into the next waking day, researchers report online August 26 in Nature Neuroscience.The new study is the first to show that entirely new information can get into the sleeping mind, says Anat Arzi of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. “The brain is not passive while you sleep. Its quite active. You can do quite a lot of things while you are asleep.”But the results dont mean that Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand. Researchers have tried but largely failed to find evidence that complicated information, such as new pairs of words, can make its way into the brain during sleep.Instead of trying to teach people something complicated like a new language, Arzi and her colleagues relied on the sense of smell and hearing. As anyone who has walked by a dumpster（垃圾车） in July knows, smells can elicit a nose-jerk reaction. Catching a bad smell automatically makes people inhale（吸气）less, reducing the size of the inhale. But a scent of fresh bread causes a long, deep inhale. Arzi and her team took advantage of this reaction for their experiment.As people slept in the laboratory, the researchers delivered pleasant scent, such as shampoo. As this nice smell got into the sleepers noses, the researchers played a particular music.Later, a disgusting smell, such as rotten fish or carrion(腐肉), was paired with a different music. Neither the smell nor the sound woke people up. After just four exposures to the smell-music pair during a single night, the sleepers started to automatically respond to the tones without the accompanying smells, taking in bigger breaths when the shampoo-associated tone played and smaller breaths when played the sound linked to the rotten fish smell.This new learned association lingered into the next waking day, too. Even though the sleepers had no idea they had been exposed to smells or sounds, their behavior proved that their brain had actually learned something during sleep. As before, the shampoo sound stimulated a long, deep inhale, while the rotten fish tone caused more shallow breaths.23. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. One cant acquire complicated knowledge during the sleeping hours.B. Spanish vocabulary tapes now have a place on the nightstand.C. Researchers have tried to find evidence that the new words can be learned during sleep.D. Complicated information can make its way into the brain during sleep.24. How do Arzi and her team do their research?A. By giving instructions. B. By analyzing human brains.C. By following the guides of others. D. By doing experiments.25. Whats the topic of this passage?A. Different tone signifies different meaning B. Arzi and her team learned the tones while sleepC. Brain still learns while you sleep D. Sleepers had no idea what they had learned26. In which part of a website may this passage most likely appear?A. Culture B. Science C. History D. EconomyDThe Finnish and Russian governments, together with the Petrozavodsk Communal Utilities Systems (PKS) and a group of international financial institutions, have signed a EUR 32 million investment project, which is intended to finance the improvement of drinking water quality and the reduction of untreated wastewater being discharged into Lake Onega in northwestern Russia.The PKS is currently implementing(实施) an investment project, which is intended to improve drinking water quality and upgrade the wastewater treatment facilities in Petrozavodsk, which is situated on the western shores of Lake Onega.The investment project will finance recycling and dewatering of sludge（烂泥）generated in the drinking water plant and modernize the wastewater treatment plant by introducing a bio-chemical process. These measures are expected to result in an annual decrease of 60 tonnes of phosphorus （磷）discharges into Lake Onega.The setup of the investment project has been co-operated by the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) that provides a EUR 4 million loan for the project. A loan from the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) totals EUR 7 million. Other financing includes a EUR 5 million from the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership (NDEP) and a EUR 2 million from the Finnish Ministry of the Environment. The contribution of Russias federal government, the government of the Republic of Karelia and the PKS amounts to EUR 14 million.The Barents Euro-Arctic Council (BEAC) has identified Petrozavodsk as one of the environmental hot spots in the region because of the lack of treatment of wastewater being discharged into Lake Onega, and the international Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM) has been keen to promote investment in wastewater treatment infrastructure and facilities in the region.“Concrete cooperation between neighbours is the best solution to sa
