Chinese Buddhist Music Catches Audience in HK 中华佛教音乐吸引香港听众 The Hong Kong Cultural Center in Victoria Bay was packed on Thursday night, and loud applause periodically echoed through the neon lit sky. It was not rock music nor was it pop—it was traditional Chinese Buddhist music that made an instant hit in the modern metropolis.

One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon-it’s already here. While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to su A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B. obtain more convenient services than other people do C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper D. cash money where he wishes to [单项选择]
Passage One One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I’ve ever seen is coming from Wave. It’s real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you’re typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a message and the person you’re replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation 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 communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like A. It makes people see each other online. B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails. C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time. D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems. [单项选择]Passage Three
