（A）
In today’s world of cell phones, mini laptops and MP3 players, most people have at least one time—telling tool with them. Since these devices are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function. ” Many young adults agree—and use their cell phones to tell time. Louis Galie, a senior vice president at Timex, said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads.
However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality timepiece that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers boasted about their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory business. And for many today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.
“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping —are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a host of features that suit almost any personality. These features include altitude trackers, compasses, lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!
Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time. It looks more like a futuristic bracelet (手镯) than a watch. Another Japanese watchmaker, EleeNo, makes a “handless” watch. Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.
Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative flair or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget(小玩意儿) in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!
1. Why aren’t watches popular with young people as before?
A. Because watches cannot keep good time as cell phones, mini laptops and MP3 players.
B. Because watches are featured by the disadvantages of simple function.
C. Because watches are too expensive to afford.
D. Because watches don’t have beautiful appearance as other modern time-telling tools.
2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Watch-making is facing a survival crisis challenge.
B. Watch-making is faced with the developing opportunity.
C. Watch-making becomes the sun rising industry.
D. Watch-making has a specific development target.
3. It can be implied that______ .
A. people will gradually lose interest in watches as they grow older
B. watchmakers hardly change the development strategy for watches
C. today’s watches are better than those in the past in quality
D. consumers used to be more concerned with the quality of a watch than with its image.
4. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Watches and Teenagers
B. The History of Watches
C. The Accuracy of Watches
D. Watches Tell More Than Time
（B）
Walking with long steps on purpose, Barack Obama appears to have arrived to visit an elementary school he attended as a boy. But wait. It’s not real Obama. The US president is back in Washington DC.
So who is this guy? He’s Ilham Anas, 34, a teen-magazine photographer who has taken advantage of his striking resemblance to Obama and turned it into his own brand of celebrity and wealth.
Since his sister told him in 2007 that he looked like the then-presidential candidate, Anas’ face and big smile have been seen on Southeast Asian TV and the Internet, appearing in the advertisements of medicine and other products. He has also shown up on his nation’s television-talk show. Anas’ resemblance to the president has turned his life around 180 degrees. He’s even written an autobiography because of Obama.
Anas is the first to admit that he’s an impostor(冒牌货). But he’ll also tell you that he’s in incredible demand. “I’ve got so much work I can’t handle it all, ” he said.
But when his sister first mentioned the resemblance, he dismissed it. Then a colleague at the magazine asked him to pose as Obama in front of a US flag. He also refused. “I’m a photographer, not an object for the camera, ” he said.
As soon as he accepted the idea, his career took off. The married father of two children is rarely home these days. Recently a group of reporters followed him on a tour of the elementary school Obama once attended. Anas sat in the classroom where the president studied. He spoke a few lines in English. The moment he opened his mouth, however, the differences became apparent. “Obama is a baritone(男中音), ” Anas said. “I’m not. I sound like a little boy. ” He is also shorter than the president. But he makes up for that by practising Obama’s typical actions. Before public appearances, he spends hours in front of the mirror posing, gesturing, flashing that smile.
Anas said he hasn’t changed his appearance much for the role. He wears his hair just like he did in high school. But he did shape his eyebrows to look more like those of the president.
He used to dislike looking into the mirror because of his average appearance. Now he no longer considers himself as an average guy, but a superstar.
Now, he hopes that Obama will win a second term in the White House. “The longer he’s in office, the longer my fame will last, ” he said.
