To switch or not to switch, that is the question．Google’s announcement of its Nexus One smartphone（智能手机） happened over a week ago and I’m still receiving lots of e-mails from readers asking the same question: Should they give up their iPhone for the Nexus One?

Some people with iPhones, disappointed by American Telephone&Telegraph’s inadequate service and the high monthly cost, are wondering if they have really got something to replace it．Does the Nexus One offer the functions that Apple has led them to expect?

I’m on the fence myself, even though I never thought I’d be interested in anything but the iPhone．From my experience using the Nexus One, and from talking to people who have made the change, it’s not necessarily about the differences between the iPhone and the Nexus One．The phones are extremely similar in design and general feel．Instead, the decision can be made based on the software（软件） services you use on your desktop．

My friend Chad Dickerson received a pre-launch Nexus One from Google three weeks ago．He said Google’s phone feels connected to certain services on the Web in a way the iPhone doesn’t．“Compared to the iPhone, the Google phone feels like it’s part of the Internet to me,” he said．“If you live in a Google world, you have that world in your pocket in a way that’s cleaner and more connected than the iPhone．”

Personally, the phones work perfectly with their own software, but both of them don’t make an effort to play well with other services．

1.Why are some iPhone users expecting a new type of phone?

2.What’s the author’s attitude towards the new phones in the third paragraph?

3.In Chad Dickerson’s opinion, the Nexus One is ________ the iPhone．

4.The best title of the passage might be ________．

More often than not, we think the taste of food is largely to do with the way it's cooked. However, according to a new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, sitting and standing also affect the taste.

Lead author Dipayan Biswas, a professor from the University of South Florida in the US, looked specifically at how the vestibular（前庭的）sense, which is responsible for balance, posture（姿势）and location awareness, works with our sense of taste.

He found that standing for even a few minutes causes people to feel physical stress. Gravity pushes blood to the lower parts of the body, causing the heart to work harder. This increases the heart rate and leads to increased stress hormones（荷尔蒙）.All of these reduce sensory sensitivity, which affects taste. Our mouths fail to taste or feel temperature as well when this happens. When people experience discomfort, foods that normally taste good aren't as pleasing, says Science Daily.

Biswas gave 350 participants each a piece of biscuit and had them rate its tastiness. Those who stood while eating gave it a lower rating than those who sat in comfortable chairs. Next, Biswas and his team gave participants bite-sized cookies from a well-known local restaurant. These cookies are widely considered to be very tasty. Those who sat down to eat rated them highly. However, when the baker added extra salt, the results were opposite. Participants who stood up to eat the cookies didn't notice that the cookies tasted saltier, while those who were seated found the cookies weren't so tasty.

So if you really want to enjoy your meal, try to find yourself a comfortable seat. But if you're trying to lose weight, eating while standing could be helpful because people tend to eat less while standing.

1.What's the common belief about the taste of the food in the text?

A.It seems associated with people's preferences.

B.It is largely to do with how people sit or stand.

C.It has little to do with the way people eat food.

2.Why do people who stand less enjoy food?

A.Their mental health declines. B.Their hearts work more slowly.

C.They are less sensitive to taste. D.They have no sensory sensitivity.

3.How did Dipayan Biswas get his conclusions in paragraph 4?

A.By classifying examples. B.By doing experiments.

C.By studying previous theories. D.By analyzing abundant data.

4.What's the best title for the text?

A.Sitting Has Various Effects on Eating

B.Posture Affects How People Enjoy Food

C.Eating While Standing Helps to Lose Weight

D.Sitting and Standing Are Common Postures
