The real fun begins when you tap on the icon called “App Store” and start browsing the hundreds of add-on applications that have been developed just for the iPhone. You'll find tons of games ( I like Plants VS Zombies, a free game developed by Popcap Games) and mobile versions of popular websites like Renren, Facebook, Taobao and Twitter. Most apps will cost you, but the vast majority are $9.99 or less. The apps work on the old iPhones too, but you'll enjoy them a lot more on the iPhone 3G because many of the programs, including Yelp (local business reviews), Whrrl (mobile social networking) and UrbanSpoon (restaurant reviews), use your exact location — provided by the iPhone 3G's GPS chip — to make recommendations. The apps also load much faster over the 3G network. 64. The new iPhone 3G has following features except that _______. A. It looks and feels betterB. It has a faster network C.

Many people use the National Day for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax. Hotel Romance Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagne, flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions. Visit a Spa Spa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits. Learn a Skill The National Day holiday may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last five or six days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos. Help Others Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the same time. Stay in a National Park For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins within the parks available to rent.

National Day Holiday Getaway Ideas (D) BEIJING -- Premier Wen Jiabao on Sunday encouraged young Chinese students to dedicate their lives to the people and bind their own destinies with that of the nation. Wen made the call at a symposium with some 100 students of the prestigious Tsinghua University, who have chosen to work in China's less-developed western regions or at the grassroots level after graduation. Wen's Tsinghua tour marked his yearly visit to university campuses since 2003 ahead of the Chinese Youth Day, which falls on Monday this year. In more than one hour's time, Wen listened to the students' stories and gave his advices on their future development, encouraging them to “be resolute-minded, hard working and down-to-earth to achieve your goals.” Sui Shaochun, a mechanics students, said he had landed a job in an aeroplane manufacturing company in southwestern Sichuan Province and was ready to devote himself to the country's project of building its own big planes. Wen said the future of a young person and that of the nation were interdependent, and “the young should bind their own destinies with that of the country.” Another graduate-to-be Cheng Li told Wen she would work in Wenchuan of Sichuan, the epicenter of the devastating May 12 earthquake, believing the reconstruction work would be “more meaningful than anything else.” Wen said the post-quake reconstruction requires a large number of professionals and he encouraged Cheng to play her role. “The love and devotion to the people is the loftiest part of human morals,” said he. Wen praised Zou Shenglan and Yan Weilong after learning they had volunteered to work in Tibetan villages. He told them to be prepared for the hardship in rural areas. “I believe after being tempered at the grassroots level in Tibet, you'll become more mature,” he said. “And when you look back at that part of experience in the future, you'll have no regret.” (责任编辑：admin) |
