Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: In London, commuters (乘车上下班的人) do not look at each other. That's not rudeness— people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection. Nor are they reading a book. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.
Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000－yes, that's 40,000－"apps" (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time－filler. One "app"，called ishoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. Isteam clouds the iphone screen when you breathe into the microphone.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction of choice. It's not just teenagers who "plug in" to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e－books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work.
| A．With this distraction, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train. |
| B．New technology has replaced quiet habits. |
| C．You can then write the “steam” on your phone screen. |
| D．Technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time. |
E．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times.
F．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters.
G．Modern Londoner are fancy victims.

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We dream about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal.Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different.Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self – worth, and, of course, love.

Carl entered Tennessee State College in 1942. Carl Rowan did so well in college that he was chosen by the United States navy to become one of the first fifteen black navy officers.

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers say．Here are some shopping tips:
Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, cross-training or another specialty will provide the best support for your feet．
Shop when you normally exercise．Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up as much as a half-size by nighttime．
Try them on．Never grab a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy．Bring the type of socks you’d wear to work out and go for a walk through the store．
You should be able to spread your toes out comfortably．Make sure there’s about a half-inch of space between them and the front of the shoe．The back should fit snugly (warmly and comfortably) against your heel and not move up and down．If your feet are different sizes, buy based on the larger one．
Talk to an expert．Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride (步伐) and the shape of your feet．
Many trainers recommend switching footwear every three to five months, if possible, to maintain（保持）proper cushioning and support．One tip: if you have to tie your shoes very tightly to feel a good amount of support, they may be ready to go．
| A．Think about how much you can afford to buy the workout shoes． |
| B．Consider your type of exercise． |
| C．Focus on fit． |
| D．So don’t shop first thing in the morning if you often work out in the evening． |
