Kindle Voyage is our most advanced e-reader ever.
Brilliant display
New—The high-resolution（高分辨率的）display features sharp, dark text that reads even more like the printed pages.
Light that adjusts with you
New—Kindle Voyage can be read in bright sunlight or total darkness, and it's smart enough to know the difference. With a new adaptive front light, Kindle Voyage senses the light in your environment, and changes the setting to the ideal brightness. In order to more closely resemble reading on real paper, we researched and hand-tuned the optimal brightness setting for every lighting condition. When reading in the dark, the adaptive front light slowly lowers the display's brightness over to match the way the eye responds to darkness.
Effortless page turns
New—PagePress allows you to turn the page without lifting a finger. Simply apply pressure on the bezel surrounding the screen to turn the page, and PagePress will provide a silent haptic（触觉的）response for consistent and immediate reaction.
Remarkably thin design
Improved—At just 7. 6mm thin, Voyage is our thinnest Kindle ever. Kindle Voyage was designed to come one step closer to a sheet of paper. Comfortably hold Kindle Voyage in one hand for long reading sessions. With a magnesium(镁金)back and a glass front, Kindle Voyage is both durable and smooth.
Long battery life
Like Kindle Paperwhite, the battery lasts weeks on a single charge.
Kindle Unlimited
With Kindle Unlimited, you can read as much as you want, choosing from over 70,000 titles. From mysteries and romance to science fiction and more, freely explore new authors and books on any device for just $ 9. 99 a month. Try Kindle Unlimited free for 30 days.

Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing——finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. , where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班）,which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013——pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands’ approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的) improvement in their reading skills.
Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.
1.The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. allowed B. banned C. offered D. refused
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.
B. The world’s TV sets will total 150 million by 2013.
C.45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.
D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.
3.The author intends to ________.
A. stress the advantages of TV to people’s lives
B. persuade women to become more independent
C. encourage people to improve their reading skills
D. introduce the readers some websites such as Google
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.TV Will Rule the World B.TV Will Disturb the World
C.TV Will Better the World D.TV Will Remain in World

The physical memory dump error is a big problem that affects even the most advanced computer systems．Although it's quite a rare error, it's one of the most stopping what you're doing and restarting your computer—making you lose all your unsaved data．This is a big problem, but there is actually a very easy way to fix it．
There are two reasons why the physical memory dump happens．The first is pretty simple and is to do with the "hardware", and if any of these pieces are not fit for your system, it will cause the physical memory dump．So, if you've recently added any hardware to your PC, then take that out and see if it works．
The other reason is your system, the "registry"．The registry is a big database that operates in the background of Windows, storing all sorts of settings and information about your PC．The problem with the registry is that since it has so many important files inside, it's constantly got hundreds of files open every time you use your PC．And because there are so many files to open at once, Windows is constantly getting confused, leading it to save many of these files in the wrong way．These files go wrong when saved wrongly, making them difficult for your computer to read．However, if it can't read the files at all, it has no choice but to stop everything it's doing and restart your PC．This is why the physical memory dump error appears so easily—because when a registry file is so wrong that it can't be read, your computer needs to refresh itself immediately．
This latter reason for causing the physical memory dump is actually extremely common and the likelihood is that your PC is suffering from it, if you're seeing this error．Luckily, it's also incredibly easy to fix—you just need to use a software tool called a "registry cleaner" to go through the registry and fix all the problems in there．
1.From the text we can infer that ________．
A．the dump error often happens to your PC
B．the dump can be dealt with easily
C．only the advanced computers suffers from the error
D．the dump error can cause the data in your PC to be lost
2.The reason that your PC has the dump error is that ___________．
A．the hardware loses its memory
B．your Windows needs to be upgraded
C．you have saved wrong files in the PC
D．you have stored too many files in the PC．
3.What’s problem with the registry when your PC goes wrong?
A．The register can’t read the files correctly．
B．It must open 100 files every time you use your PC．
C．The register doesn’t agree with the database．
D．The register must save many important files inside．
4.What does a registry cleaner means?
A．A software which can help you save time．
B．A software which can remove unnecessary files
C．A software which can repair the machine．
D．a software which makes your PC down．

With rapid advances in medical science, cloning is slowly but surely looking like it could be in our near future. However, is it really an option that should be considered as a way to extend human life?
Reproductive cloning may help human families gain children, but there's also a benefit for the animal world. It brings hope to people eager for children but unable to have their own or adopt. It can also bring about the recreation of species that have long since died, allowing scientists to fully study the species as a living creature instead of simply looking at images or bones.
Many believe that cloning can be used to replace failing organs. This will reduce the waiting list for organ donations and allow more people to be saved. Not only that, but because the organ is, in fact, your own organ, there would be less chance of rejection.
Cloning could prove helpful in genetic research. Using cloning technologies, genetic researchers would have a better understanding of the composition of genes and the effects of genetic constituents (成分) on human characters. There's also the possibility of changing genetic constituents in cloned humans, and cloning could help fight genetic diseases.
While the cloning of body organs can help extend human life, it could also cause a lot of malpractice (玩忽职守). Along with the ability to clone desired characters, there could be the possibility of people deliberately reproducing undesired characters. This could lead to a rise in malpractices within society.
Cloning involves a process of creating identical genes. As such, there would be a lack of diversity in humankind. Scientists believe this lack of diversity will lower the human race's ability to adapt.
Whatever your view on cloning may be, studies show that the clone would in fact not be completely identical to the original just as twins are not completely identical. Though they might look alike, twins have different personalities and enjoy different things. The same could be said of clones. Even if technology were created in which your memories and thoughts could be transmitted (传送) to the clone, your clone would still be a different person.
1.What good might reproductive cloning bring?
A. It may help improve human well-being.
B. It could contribute to the rising birthrate.
C. It could help animals survive deadly diseases.
D. It may enable scientists to better study extinct species.
2.According to the text, cloning can also be used for ________________________________________________.
A. organ transplant
B. solving the aging problem
C. infectious disease treatment
D. constructing a gene database
3.What's one problem cloning may cause?
A. Great diversity.
B. Individual security risk.
C. Increased improper conduct.
D. Serious personality disorder.
4.Why are twins mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To stress twins' similarities.
B. To show twins are quite common.
C. To carry out deeper research on twins.
D. To better illustrate what a clone will be like.
