    CDMA is " spread spectrum (頻譜) " technology, which means that it spreads the information contained in a particular signal of interest over a much greater bandwidth (帶寬) than the original signal.
When implemented (實現(xiàn)) in a cellular telephone system, CDMA offers numerous benefits to the cellular operators and their subscribers (訂戶). Following is an overview of CDMA benefits:
1. Improved call quality, with better and more consistent sound.
2. Simplified system planning through the use of the same frequency in every sector of every cell.
3. Increased talk time for portables.
4. Bandwidth on demand.
Compared with GSM ( Global System for Mobile communication ), which was developed mainly in Europe, the CDMA system matured (成熟) later and has better efficiency, low radiation, high voice quality and ability to adopt third-generation communications technology.
China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea and now India will make up the major market for CDMA technology in addition to the United States, the Republic of Korea, Japan and Australia to  ensure that CDMA users can receive phone calls from overseas.
56. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. CDMA has a clearer and higher sound than GSM.
B. You will not hear a better and more consistent sound if you don't use CDMA.
C. CDMA has the ability to adopt third-generation communications technology.

As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
【小題1】The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.

A．show the relationship between parents and children
B．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C．report on the findings of a study
D．give information about family problems
【小題2】Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _________.
A．they are busy serving food to their children
B．they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C．they have to pay more attention to younger children
D．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
【小題3】By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _________.
A．have to help their parents to serve dinner
B．get the least attention from the family
C．a(chǎn)re often kept away from the dinner table
D．find it hard to keep up with other children
【小題4】Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question _________.
A．why TV is important in family life
B．why parents should keep good order
C．why children in small families seem to be quieter
D．why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life

You probably know what fast food is. It is cooked food that is ready almost as soon as you enter a public eating place. It does not cost much.
Most fast food restaurants are chain (連鎖) restaurants. That means each one is part of a huge company. Each restaurant in the chain has the same large, colorful sign that can be easy to recognize from far away. Each offers its own carefully limited choice of foods. Each kind of hamburger or piece of chicken tastes the same at every restaurant in the chain.
The fast food industry began with two brothers in the nineteen forties. Mac and Dick McDonald owned a small, but very successful restaurant. They sold only a few kinds of simple food, especially hamburgers. People stood outside the restaurant at a window. They told the workers inside what they wanted to eat. They received and paid for their food very quickly. The food came in containers that could be thrown away. The system was so successful that the McDonald brothers discovered they could sell a lot of food and lower their prices.
Ray Kroc sold restaurant supplies. He recognized the importance of the McDonald brothers' idea. Kroc paid the McDonald brothers for permission to open several restaurants similar to theirs. He opened the first McDonald's restaurant near Chicago in nineteen fifty-five. Soon, more McDonald's were opening all across the United States. Other people copied the idea and more fast food restaurants followed.
Fast food restaurants spread quickly in the United States because of franchising. Franchising means selling the legal right to operate a store in a company's chain to an independent business person. If the company approves, the business person may buy the store for a period of years. Each restaurant also gives the company about ten percent of the money it earns in sales. Today, over seventy percent of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent businessmen and women.
