“iPhone 5”, the tallest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone

We don’t want to change your phone, we want to make you say, “Wow, that is a bigger change than I expected”. “iPhone 5” is a result of that desire to surprise.

It’s been completely redesigned. For the first time ever, we’ve increased the size of display (顯示) by making the screen taller but not wider.

You can see more of your content without the need to scroll. We are making scrolling the thing of the past. It is more comfortable to use and reduces tiredness from scrolling when you read long documents.

Even with the larger display, it is the thinnest iPhone we ever built. To achieve the design this tall, we have to look at it and completely redesign the architecture inside. It’s 18% thinner and 79.5% taller than the previous iPhone. It makes everything you do on “iPhone5” easier. No more hidden menus, no confusing gestures. Everything is right at your fingertips.

The panorama feature (全景拍照) is simply awesome. The ultra HD (超高清) widescreen display lets you get your entire shot in a single snap (快門). You can also use its creative design for picture stabilization.

With an iPhone this tall, reception of signals has never been better. And of course, all your favorite applications are still available. In fact you will find your old favorites also benefit from the new experiencing handsome ultra HD widescreen. We found while many previous iPhone owners were using Facetime, they only used it for the faces. That’s why we are introducing Bodytime. With its ultra HD widescreen display, Bodytime lets you see a person’s entire body.

It took all of our learning and all of our thinking to realize something so simple, so clear, and yet so tall.

And I wish your pocket were tall enough to hold such a perfect invention!

A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover,these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere,warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns,potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.

In the past hundred years,humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(資源):land for crops,wood for paper and other products,land for raising farm animals.This action affects the environment as a whole.For example,a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests.People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

There are two main reasons for this.Firstly,when people cut down trees,generally they can only use the land for a year or two.Secondly,cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now,but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply.

Rainforests are often called the world's drug store.More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However,fewer than 1%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value.It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.

1.Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they ______.

A.reflect more heat into the atmosphere

B.reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth

C.bring about high rainfall throughout the world

D.rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃

2.What does the word“this”underlined in the third paragraph refer to?

A.Humans have begun destroying rainforests.

B.People have a strong desire for resources.

C.We will lose much more than we can gain.

D.Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.

3.It can be inferred from the text that ______.

A.we can get enough resources without rainforests

B.we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land

C.the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns

D.there is great medicine potential in rainforests

4.What might be the best title for the text?

A.Rainforests and the Environment

B.How to Save Rainforests

C.How to Protect Nature

D.Rainforests and Medical Development
