The iPhone is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It runs Apple's iOS mobile operating system, known as the "iPhone OS" until mid-2010, shortly after the release of the iPad. The first generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, the most recent iPhone, the seventh-generation iPhone 5S, on September 20, 2013. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity (2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE).

An iPhone can shoot video (though this was not a standard feature until the iPhone 3GS), take photos, play music, send and receive emails, look through the web, send texts, and receive visual voicemail. Other functions—games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc.— can be enabled by downloading apps; as of 2012[update], the App Store offered more than 775,000 apps by Apple and third parties.

There are six generations of iPhone models, each accompanied by one of the six major releases of iOS. The original 1st generation iPhone was a GSM phone, and established design precedents, such as a button placement that has persisted through all models and a screen size maintained until the launch of the iPhone 5 in 2012. The iPhone 3G added 3G cellular network capabilities and A-GPS location. The iPhone 3GS added a faster processor and a higher-resolution camera that could record video at 480p. The iPhone 4 featured a higher-resolution 960 × 640 "retina display", a VGA front-facing camera for video calling and other apps, and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p video capture. The iPhone 4S upgrades to an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, a dual-core processor, and a natural language voice control system called Siri. IPhone 5 features the new A6 processor, increases the size of the Retina display to 4 inches, and replaces the 30-pin connector with an all-digital Lightning connector.

The resounding sales of the iPhone have been credited with reshaping the smart phone industry and helping make Apple one of the world's most valuable publicly trading companies in 2011–12. However, there has been criticism of the company's outsourcing and move of jobs from the US to China. Apple and its manufacturing contractor Foxconn have received criticism due to poor working conditions at the assembly plant in China.

The newly app (应用程序) "Limited Screen Time" designed by Thomas Black Company is coming out today. "Limited Screen Time" is a simple app that allows you to set limits on the time your children use an iPhone or iPad.

Background

Parents are worried about the length of time that today's children spend on screen. And long screen time is one of the reasons why kids are short sighted. "Limited Screen Time" is a simple way to help set and control limits to your children's time with an iPhone and iPad.

How Does It Work?

Step Three: press "Start"

Step Four: pass your iPhone or iPad to your child and let them use the phone any way you choose. (e. g. apps, Movies, music)

What Happens Next?

After you set the time, the device (装置) will receive a set of messages alerting (警告) your children that " Your screen time is up" . Your children will be unable to continue using the phone until the passcode is correctly entered.

Graphs (曲线图)

From the graphs you can see the weekly length of screen time.

Does owning the latest iPhone, designer dress or expensive shoes really make you happy? It’s an age-old question, but one psychologist(心理学家) thinks he might have the answer.

Dr. Thomas Gilovich, psychology professor at Cornell University, has studied the topic for over 20 years. According to Dr. Gilovich, “We buy things to make us happy, and we succeed, but only for a while. New things are exciting to us at first, but then we adapt to them.” In other words, once the excitement of our newest buying wears off, we begin looking for something else to buy to make us happy.

Dr. Gilovich　 found that our satisfaction　 with　 possessions( 物 品 ) fades over time. Yet our happiness over things we’ve experienced increases. For that reason, he noted that we are spending our money on the wrong things.

A study out of San Francisco State University agrees. The research showed that those people who spent money on experiences instead of possessions were happier. They also thought their money was better invested(投资).

Why experiences are the better investment? “ A trip, adventure, or hobby is more likely to bring people closer together and unite them over a shared interest,” According to Gilovich. As a result, these experiences typically create a positive link and good feelings toward the other person　 or people.

Also, your experiences become a part of you. You might be someone who　 loves　 taking cooking lessons. More than likely, you’ll become known by friends and family as a great cook. They won’t know you as someone who owns the latest kitchen equipment.

Moreover, experiences provide lasting memories. Planned experiences are always something we expect. Then when the moment arrives, if we enjoy ourselves in the activity, we’re left with beautiful memories. These memories will often last a lifetime. Even our worst trips, on many occasions, are later remembered with laughter.

Most of us have limited resources. Why not spend them on things that will make the greatest influence on our lives--meaningful experiences?

1.The writer raises a question at the beginning of this article in order to________.

A.lead into the topic B.know about the answer

C.make a survey D.divide the article into two parts

2.The underlined phrase “adapt to” in paragraph two may mean________

A.pay attention to B.look forward to

C.get used to D.stick to

3.The following pie charts show how the four people spent their money in 2019. According to the article, who might live a much happier life than the other three?

A.Mary B.Stacy

C.Michael D. Andrew

4.What’s the purpose of this passage?

A.To tell people to stop buying expensive things.

B.To encourage people to spend money on meaningful experiences.

C.To advise people to take cooking lessons in their free time.

D.To explain why experiences can make people happier.
