①It’s “laughably absurd” on one blog and a “magical revolution” on another.Bloggers are talking about the same device—the Apple iPad, which hit store shelves last week.
②Tech-heads hate the iPad because it has many functions—you can e-mail, browse the Web, read books—but it has no specialty.There are other devices on the market that do all its functions faster, cheaper and more efficiently.Get a Blackberry to scan e-mails or any old laptop to access the Internet.
③This first version of the iPad lacks many basic features.Tech-heads dislike the device not because of what it offers, but because of what it doesn’t offer.It doesn’t have Flash, and it doesn’t have a camera.It can’t access many of the world’s mobile applications, and it has a very restricted apple store.Based on purely technological grounds, the iPad is said to lack more than it gives.
④But if you are not a crazy tech-head, and you love the iPod and iPhone, “this device is for you,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.The iPad will take online activities truly mobile.It will allow you to read the news in bed, check a recipe in a busy kitchen or view a large-scale Google map.
⑤Perhaps most important to the masses, it is a traditional computer without trouble.There are wireless, but it’s totally mobile.You press a button and it comes on in seconds.To add a program, you just download it from the Internet.Since almost everyone uses a computer in the office or at school, the need for the traditional desktop model at home is disappearing.Slate Magazine’s Farhad Manjoo calls the iPad the perfect alternative to the home computer system.
⑥But no matter how you feel about the iPad, as a tech-head or an everyman, there’s no arguing with its appeal.Love it or hate it, the iPad sold over 600,000 units on its opening weekend, surpassing the iPhone’s record sales in 2007.

【推荐1】Thanks to its super walkable historic center and handy square of famous museums, Amsterdam is practically made for two-day trips.
Day 1
Morning
Start your day off in the Centrum with breakfast in the charming courtyard cafe De Koffieschenkerij, situated within the De OudeChurch, Amsterdam’s oldest building. After that, wander the surrounding streets and take in Amsterdam’s oldest buildings, and streets, like Nieuwendijk, a busy pedestrian shopping street. From here, continue south to Dam Square to see the massive Royal Palace.
Afternoon
Cross over to the Flower Market, which has been selling tulips since the mid-1800s. Then you’ll want to make your way to the Anne Frank House, where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II. This is one of the city’s most visited sights, so you have to pre-book a timed ticket online.
Day 2
Morning
Kick off your day at Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands. Get there right at 9 a.m. when it opens to head off the crowds. Head directly to admire the famed 17th-century Golden Age paintings from the likes of Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Afternoon
Grab lunch at one of the food trucks on Museumplein. If you want to rest your feet a little longer, hit up The Burger Room, a Wizard of Oz-themed restaurant around the corner. Refueled and ready for more, cross the street to the Van Gogh Museum, which holds the largest collection of the famed artist’s works. Tickets will sell out fast, so be sure to book your timed entry.
After you’ve been thoroughly blown away by Post-Impressionism, take the tram to Sampurna, a long-running Dutch restaurant,trying their signature dishes — “Erwtensoep” and “Pannenkoeken”.

【推荐3】How to save money to visit Shanghai Disneyland?
The “happiest place on earth” is a top destination on many families’ bucket lists. But taking a vacation to Disney World can be difficult to do on a budget. There are some considerations that you can make to reduce the cost of your Disney World vacation.
1. Buy Souvenirs in AdvanceDisney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery store to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less-expensive places than at Disneyland.
2. Make an Autograph BookAn autograph book is seen as a must-have by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from $7.95 to $19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park’s 60th anniversary edition. Other choices can get the job done for under $5.For example, you can buy a small photo album, cute pads or notebooks.
3. Eat Breakfast before You ArriveBreakfast is almost as pricey (昂贵的) as lunch or dinner if you eat inside the Disneyland parks. If you have a hotel with a free breakfast, take advantage of it. If you want to eat out, eat at a local restaurant that is inexpensive or has a kids’ menu, such as McDonald’s which is close to the park.
4.Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special GroupsDisney offers a wide variety of discounts, including for military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups. If you think you might qualify for a special discount or group rate, call the Disneyland Resort to book tickets.
1. It may take you more money to buy souvenirs at .| A．Disneyland | B．Department stores | C．Walmart | D．Amazon |
| A．$7.95. | B．$19.95. | C．$5. | D．$30. |
