Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题):
As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s minds. We don’t have the same dreams. And I can promise you that we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most often when people meet me for the first time.
Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’ instead of ‘Michael’ and ‘Desiree’ and ‘Tiffany’. I don’t like it when people think we should act or think the same just because we were born at the same time, like when people ask me why I’m so shy while Michael and Tiffany are so much louder. And I definitely don’t like it when people don’t understand that we have individual (个人的) choices of what to do in our spare time.
Growing up, Tiffany, Michael and I shared almost everything. It was funny how the exact moment I wanted to use the bike was the same time that Tiffany felt like going for a ride. When the three of us learned to drive at the same time, we very often fought over who got to practise with the car.
My dad came up with a brilliant plan called ‘turns’. One Sunday a month, each of us would have a chance to spend three hours with our dad, alone, and do whatever we wanted. For three hours every month each of us was allowed to feel like he/she was an only child. This helped me to see that being a triplet is a part of me, but it isn’t the only part of me. I don’t just want to be thought of as ‘Desiree, the girl who’s a triplet’. I want to be thought of as an individual.
1. Is Desiree the only girl of the triplets?
2.What question might people ask the triplets when they first meet them? Give one example.
3.How did they decide who practised with the car first?
4.How often could each of the triplets have the “alone time” with their father?
5.In what ways are the triplets different? (List 2)
They have different __________ and __________.
6.What are the bad things about being a triplet?

In the past few decades, a large number of new electronic devices have appeared: MP3 players, camcorders, e-book readers, and so on. Will the future bring new gadgets (小玩意)? Perhaps, but many experts believed that the number of gadgets will actually d 1. as people do more and more things with just one device: the smart phone.

If you use the camera on your smart phone to take a photo of a special icon (图标) on the bus stop, the timetable appears on your s 4. . When the bus arrives, you use the same phone to pay for your ride.
At airports, it’s even more useful. You don’t need a t 5. or a boarding pass - with just your phone, you can be on your plane only 15 minutes after arriving at the airport. And at hotels, the phone allows you to pay for the room w 6. using a credit card or money. It even opens your hotel room door!
The phone a 7. helps you find the way when you’re on foot. If you hold it in your hand, it tells you which way to go. This is especially useful in Tokyo, where it’s so easy to get lost!
