When American Matt Stopera's iPhone went missing,he thought,“Well,bad luck.These things happen.” One year later,Matt's misfortune has turned to good fortune as he found a new friend and became an Internet celebrity in China.
You may already be familiar with this story since it spread on Weibo for weeks during the Spring Festival,but it started when Matt began seeing photos of a Chinese man in front of an orange tree on his photo stream (照片流).He wrote about it and some Chinese readers decided to see if they could find the mysterious man.They did.It turns out that “Brother Orange,” as he became known,owned a restaurant in Guangdong and the iPhone he was using,a gift from a nephew,was Matt's old phone.
Matt and Brother Orange began messaging each other and a friendship blossomed with Matt invited to China to feast at Brother Orange's restaurant on his delicious Hakkacuisine (客家菜).Matt was also overwhelmed by the warmth of the millions of Chinese who were following the story.When he opened a Weibo account he had 22 million followers almost overnight,many of them inviting him to their hometowns and offering to be his tour guide.
Matt's story is another example of how powerful the Internet and social networking has become in bringing people together.But there is a darker side to this story and that involves how Matt's missing iPhone turned up in China.Over three million smart-phones were stolen in America last year.Because of identification numbers,these phones can't be used in America,so they are sent to other countries and many of them end up in China,where they can be re-activated.This is why Matt and Brother Orange could share the same iCloud account.
You should keep this in mind when buying a second-hand phone and check the serial number to see that it has not been stolen.Finding a friend through social networking is wonderful,but using a stolen phone isn't really the best way to make the connection.

No matter which park you plan on visiting you will need to do some advance planning to make your trip easier once you arrive. 2 Those often have higher altitude or their certain access roads are closed due to snow during the winter.Be sure to research any seasonal closures ahead of time,so that you don't miss out on any part of the park you want to explore.
Travel can be fairly expensive,you can save money by camping,but you still have the cost of campsite fees,as well as,gas and supplies. 3 You can often find discounts on lodging if you travel earlier in the year,rather than during peak season.
4 If you would like to avoid the crowds and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the national parks in peace,you may want to consider visiting some of the lesser-known,but equally amazing national parks found throughout the country.
The most important part of traveling is to have fun! 5 You will have even more fun if you find ways to make your travel simpler,so you don't have anything to worry about during your trip.

2.F [需要注意到后一句话的主语Those,应该是用来指代F选项中的parks。本题干扰选项C也提及了要提前研究闭园的信息,但因为其主语是closures,与下文的代词指代信息不一致,故排除C,应选F。]
3.D [D选项中的“early bird specials”,意为“早到者特价套餐,提前预订特价”,对应后文中discount 和 earlier两个关键词。]
