Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail.Facemail lets you send e- mail that gets ready to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑).The software, which is free,can be downloaded at www.Facemail.com. Facemail faces are lifelike,and they stimulate (模拟 )emotions based on emotions that you put in your text. For example,type in-x, and Rachel blows a kiss. LifeFX,the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular,the company says,is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch.But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name,waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirl(惠而浦公司 )about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge.Then if mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school,she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat. Facemail could get hot fast.Personally, I’m a fan.But Facemail should be used with care.The clown looks lively and funny at first.But if you select the clown,put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you’v got a psycho-mail(疯人型电子邮件). 59.

I felt in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could hardly get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer(狱卒). He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him:"Have you got a light?" He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently(无意)locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile. I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. "Do you have kids?" he asked. "Yes, here, here." I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled(摸) for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. "Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out and set me free. "My life was saved by a smile." Yes, the smile--the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believed that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear. 63. If you are asked to give the passage a title, what is the best of the following? A. A jailer and a prisoner B. the conversation between the souls C.

It is very easy to cook it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG packets, together with your other ingredients(成分) like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is the correct way of cooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are joined together nicely as a piece. In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to achieve an attractive instant noodles in front of us. (责任编辑：admin) |
