Ⅲ.課文篇
Technology always changes to bring us things to make life faster and easier. WAP is new technology for your mobile phone. With a WAP phone you can check your email and visit your favorite Internet sites using your mobile phone. If you use WAP for your email or surfing the Internet, the call charges are usually higher than a normal phone call. Email can be hard to read on your mobile phone because the screen is so small and your favorite websites will not have any pictures - just the words.
技術(shù)的不斷更新帶來很多新事物讓我們的生活節(jié)奏變得更快更方便。WAP是為手機設(shè)計的新技術(shù)。手機上裝了WAP就可以查電子郵件和訪問你最喜歡的網(wǎng)站。如果你用WAP接發(fā)電子郵件和上網(wǎng)，你的手機費用通常要比普通的手機費要高。在手機上讀電子郵件很困難因為屏幕太小，而且你也看不到你喜歡的網(wǎng)站的畫面，只能讀到文字。
