1.One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I’ve ever seen is coming fromWave. It’s real-time e-mail,What that means is that as you’re typing a message in Wave,either anew massage or a reply ,the person you are writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it .Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use W ave in this real-time way . It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s reallydifferent about Wave is that if you’re replying to a massage and the person you’re replying tohappen to be online,they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an emailconversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users . And Wave isn’t yet connected to other communicationsystems,like regular e-mail , which means that the only people we can Wave with are other peopleon waves as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail . Also,the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itselfthan regular e-mail or chat,so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale .But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail . A lot of people won’t like it . A lot of people didn’tlike e-mail either when it first showed up .but people will find real uses for Wave or whatever itbecomes, and it’s one of the most interesting new takes on communication . Even if you don’t likeit, it will make you think differently about e-mail.It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because___________.

14.As recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the fullprice immediately.Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airline trip. And there are some situations in whichAmericans must have credit cards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card. That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans. First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people achoice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?

Passage Three

Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In American, most people never consider

obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a pass- port. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.

In 1979 almost 15 million American held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to return the country.

When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.

Don’t confuse passports and visas. (83)Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed.They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.

Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.As used in this passage, the word ―valid‖ in the second paragraph means__________.
