Storage Media 儲存媒體

(1) Jenny is shocked to find that three out of the ten hard drives used for backing up her data are completely unusable despite her careful storage and handling. And even though the remaining seven are still functional at the moment, there is no guarantee that they will not die in the near future. What’s more frustrating is that she spent hundreds of hours over the years saving her important files in those hard drives and now she may need to repeat the tedious process again. That said, if it is any consolation, all her data have multiple back-ups and so she does not suffer from any kind of data loss.
(1) Jenny 驚訝地發現,儘管她小心翼翼地儲存和處理,用來備份資料的十個硬碟中,有三個已經完全無法使用。而即使剩餘的七顆目前還能運作,也無法保證在不久的將來不會壞掉。更令人沮喪的是,這些年來她花了數百小時在這些硬碟中儲存她的重要檔案,而現在她可能需要再次重複這個繁瑣的過程。儘管如此,如果可以安慰她的話,她所有的資料都有多重備份,因此她不會遭受任何形式的資料遺失。
Jenny used to be a believer of optical disc but has become disillusioned after finding out that most of her CDs and DVDs have become damaged in only a few years. “There were tiny holes on the discs that light could get through, which was a big problem considering that the discs were supposed to reflect light.” says Jenny. “The holes will just get bigger and there is simply no way we can repair or prevent it.” Disappointed by the discs, she then turned to hard drives, thinking that as long as she did not put them near anything magnetic, there should be no problem and the hard drives should last for over a decade. She just did not expect to face another round of frustration.
Jenny 曾經是光碟片的忠實擁護者,但在發現她的大部分 CD 和 DVD 在短短幾年間就已經損壞後,她對光碟片失去了信心。"Jenny 說:「光碟片上有微小的孔洞,光線可以穿過這些孔洞,考慮到光碟片本來是要反射光線的,這是個很大的問題。「這些洞會越來越大,我們根本沒辦法修補或預防」。對光碟感到失望之後,她轉而使用硬碟機,心想只要不把硬碟機放在任何有磁性的東西附近,應該就不會有問題,而且硬碟機應該可以使用十多年。只是她沒想到會面對另一輪的挫折。

(3) Fortunately, there are quite many options for Jenny and most of them are very affordable. USB flash drives and SD cards are so cheap nowadays that people can easily make multiple back-up copies. Jenny has done some research on these storage media and learned that data can only be written and retrieved for a finite number of times on them. Other than that there should be no other disadvantages. But the only thing that makes Jenny worried is that the long term appearance of flash memory is still not proven yet, as the technology is relatively young.
(3) 幸運的是,珍妮有相當多的選擇,而且大多數都非常經濟實惠。USB 隨身碟和 SD 卡現在非常便宜,人們可以輕鬆製作多份備份。Jenny 對這些儲存媒體做了一些研究,瞭解到資料在這些儲存媒體上的寫入和擷取次數是有限的。除此之外,應該沒有其他缺點。但唯一讓 Jenny 擔心的是,由於快閃記憶體技術相對較新,其長期的外觀仍未得到證實。

(4) Cloud storage seems to be the next big thing because data can be accessed anywhere and anytime while the basic service is usually free of charge. Dropbox, Google Drive and many other service providers allow users to store over 50G of data on their cloud servers, which is more than enough for personal use if one does not need to store a lot of photos and videos. And for those who do, they may consider uploading the photos and videos to social media such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. There is simply no upper limit of space and the files can stay there safely as long as the service providers are still running their business. That said, Jenny is
(4) 雲端儲存似乎是下一個大熱,因為資料可以隨時隨地存取,而基本服務通常是免費的。Dropbox、Google Drive 和許多其他服務供應商允許使用者在其雲端伺服器上儲存超過 50G 的資料,如果不需要儲存大量相片和影片,這對個人使用來說已經綽綽有餘。對於那些需要的人,他們可以考慮將照片和視訊上傳到 Facebook、Instagram 和 YouTube 等社交媒體。空間根本沒有上限,只要服務供應商仍在經營其業務,檔案就可以安全地留在那裡。儘管如此,珍妮是

skeptical about cloud storage because its performance is out of her control and she is not sure if the service can remain free forever.
對雲端儲存持懷疑態度,因為雲端儲存的效能不受她控制,而且她也不確定這項服務是否能永遠免費。

Learning On the Internet 在網路上學習

September is here, and students everywhere know what that means: It’s time to go back to school and start learning again. But learning doesn’t have to take place only in the classroom; many people are starting to realise that learning can be done anytime and anywhere. This month, “Live’s Guide to Learning” gives tips on getting the most out of learning on the Internet.
九月到了,各地的學生都知道這意味著什麼:是時候回到學校重新開始學習了。但學習不一定只能在課堂上進行,許多人開始意識到學習可以隨時隨地進行。本月,「Live 的學習指南」提供了在網際網路上充分學習的秘訣。
The Internet has become one of the world’s newest and greatest learning resources.
網際網路已成為世界上最新、最偉大的學習資源之一。

Students who live far away from schools or universities can take their classes over the Internet. Adults can brush up their skills with online classes. There are even language-learning sites for students who want to learn or practise foreign languages.
遠離學校或大學的學生可以透過網際網路上課。成人也可以透過線上課程提升技能。甚至還有專為想要學習或練習外語的學生而設的語言學習網站。

(3) Distance-learning courses can be taken solely on the Internet. Instead of sitting at desks in classrooms, students sit in front of computers and watch video clips of their teachers over the Internet. They participate in chat rooms, and they e-mail their homework to their teachers.
(3) 遠距教學課程可完全透過網際網路進行。學生不用坐在教室的書桌前,而是坐在電腦前,透過網際網路觀看老師的視訊短片。他們可以參與聊天室的活動,也可以用電子郵件把功課寄給老師。

(4) Many students like online classes because they can study what interests them at their own pace. Online classes are flexible, too. Students can fit online classes into their busy schedules.
(4) 許多學生喜歡線上課程,因為他們可以按照自己的進度學習感興趣的內容。線上課程也很靈活。學生可以將線上課程融入他們繁忙的日程表中。
And as long as students have access to a computer with an Internet connection, they can live anywhere in the world and still take classes.
只要學生能使用電腦與網際網路連線,他們可以住在世界任何地方,仍然可以上課。

(5) Distance learning is growing in popularity. Every year, more and more schools and universities offer distance-learning courses and programmes.
(5) 遠距教學越來越受歡迎。每年都有越來越多的學校和大學提供遠距教學課程和計畫。
6 To date, most of the schools on the Internet offering elementary as well as junior and senior high school classes are private learning institutes. These courses are popular with students who are homeschooled, studying at home with a parent instead of going to school. Online programmes can also provide supplementary work to traditional students, who may need extra help outside of class.
6 到目前為止,網路上提供小學以及初中和高中課程的學校大多數都是私人學習機構。這些課程很受在家上學的學生歡迎,他們在家裡與父母一起學習,而不是去學校。線上課程也可為傳統學生提供補充功課,這些學生可能需要課外的額外幫助。

(7) Universities offer numerous distance-learning options, too. Many North American and European universities, including Ivy League schools such as Harvard and Columbia, now have distance-learning programmes for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. These courses are often popular with students who study and work part-time.
(7) 大學也提供許多遠端學習的選擇。許多北美和歐洲的大學,包括哈佛和哥倫比亞大學等常春藤盟校,現在都有針對本科和研究所學位的遠端學習課程。這些課程通常很受半工半讀的學生歡迎。

(8) Many foreign students choose online programmes because studying over the Internet can be more convenient and less expensive than getting a student visa, moving abroad, and living away from home. Universities also offer nondegree classes for those who want to take courses to improve their job skills or pursue subjects of special interest.
(8) 許多外國學生選擇線上課程,因為透過網際網路學習比申請學生簽證、移居國外及離家居住更方便,費用也較低。大學也提供非學位課程,供想要修讀課程以提升工作技能或追求特別興趣科目的人選修。

(9) Schools and universities usually charge tuition for their online classes. Traditionally, only university students had access to their class web sites. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), however, believes that everyone should have a chance to learn at the university level. To put into practice, MIT lets all Internet users enter class web sites for free, allowing people around the world the opportunity to study MIT courses on their own.
(9) 學校和大學通常會對其線上課程收取學費。傳統上,只有大學生才能進入他們的課程網站。麻省理工學院 (MIT) 則認為每個人都應該有機會在大學學習。為了實踐,麻省理工學院讓所有網際網路使用者免費進入班級網站,讓全世界的人都有機會自學麻省理工學院的課程。

(10) There are plenty of useful free tutorials on the Internet as well. Many computer software sites offer free downloads and lessons. Television stations also have excellent web sites that provide information and video clips. Museum sites, such as New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, offer virtual tours of their collections free of charge.
(10) 網際網路上也有許多有用的免費教學。許多電腦軟體網站提供免費下載和教學。電視台也有很好的網站提供資訊和影片剪輯。博物館網站,例如紐約的大都會藝術博物館,免費提供藏品的虛擬導覽。

(11) To find free tutorials or educational sites, just go to a search engine and type in some keywords, like “downloads + tutorials”, or “museums”. Within seconds, a long list of links will appear. Use these links to find free educational sites, or refine the search by typing in additional keywords.
(11) 若要尋找免費教學或教育網站,只要到搜尋引擎輸入一些關鍵字,例如「下載 + 教學」或「博物館」。幾秒鐘之內,就會出現一長串的連結。使用這些連結來尋找免費教育網站,或是輸入其他關鍵字來精細搜尋。

(12) On the Internet, learning can be done anywhere, anytime - and often for free. With all the resources available on the Internet, learning is very easy!
(12) 在網際網路上,學習可以隨時隨地進行 - 而且通常是免費的。有了網際網路上的所有資源,學習變得非常容易!

How well do you know about Hong Kong? The passage below tells you about the history of Hong Kong. In pairs, read it aloud and circle the words that your partner may not pronounce clearly or accurately.
您對香港的認識有多少?下面的文章告訴您有關香港的歷史。以兩人一組的方式朗讀,並圈出您的同伴可能無法清楚或準確發音的字詞。
Hong Kong is one of the world’s most significant financial centres, with the highest Financial Development Index score and consistently ranks as the world’s most competitive and freest economic entity.
香港是全球最重要的金融中心之一,擁有最高的金融發展指數分數,並一直是全球最具競爭力和最自由的經濟實體。
Being the world’s 8 th 8 th  8^("th ")8^{\text {th }} largest trading entity, its legal tender, the Hong Kong dollar, is the world’s 13 th 13 th  13^("th ")13^{\text {th }} most traded currency. Hong Kong’s tertiary sector dominated economy is characterised by simple taxation with a competitive level of corporate tax and supported by its independent judiciary system. However, while Hong Kong has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, it suffers from severe income inequality.
作為全球 8 th 8 th  8^("th ")8^{\text {th }} 最大的貿易實體,其法定貨幣港元是全球 13 th 13 th  13^("th ")13^{\text {th }} 交易量最大的貨幣。香港的經濟以第三產業為主,稅制簡單,企業稅水平具有競爭力,並由獨立的司法系統提供支援。然而,雖然香港是世界上人均收入最高的地區之一,但卻存在嚴重的收入不平等問題。
All words contain at least one vowel. Among the 26 alphabet letters, the vowel letters are ‘a,’ ‘e,’ ‘i,’ ‘o’ and ‘u’. Each vowel has short and long sounds or can even be silent with no sound depending on its position in a word and the letters around it. The letter ’ y y yy ’ is sometimes regarded as the sixth vowel because ‘y’ uses the sound of long ‘l’, short ‘I’ or long ‘e.’
所有詞彙至少包含一個元音。在 26 個英文字母中,元音字母包括 'a'、'e'、'i'、'o「 和 」u'。每個元音都有長短發音,甚至可以不發音,這取決於它在單詞中的位置和周圍的字母。字母 ' y y yy 「 有時被視為第六個元音,因為 」y「 使用長 」l「、短 」I「 或長 」e' 的發音。

A. Short Vowels A.短元音

When a vowel is followed by one consonant, that vowel is usually short. Also, it is usually short when there is only one vowel in a word as in at, big or in the case where there is only one vowel in one syllable such as in the word fan-tas-tic.
當元音後面有一個輔音時,該元音通常是短元音。此外,當一個單字中只有一個元音時,例如 at、big 或一個音節中只有一個元音時,例如 fan-tas-tic 這個單字,其元音通常都很短。

Reference: ‘Cued articulation’ was devised by the speech and language therapist Jane Passy. Each sound has a sign showing where and how the sound is made in the mouth and whether the sound is voiced or voiceless (i.e., whether the vocal cords are used to make the sound). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBJ9-SBe2eI

B. Vowel digraphs and diphthongs
B.元音數字和雙元音

Vowels have long sounds when they are paired with a silent ‘e’ or when they are vowel digraphs. When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. The first vowel generally dominates the first sound. For example, ‘ea’ in beat and ‘ie’ in lie.
當元音與不發音的 'e' 配對時,或當它們是元音雙音符時,它們就會發長音。當兩個元音走在一起時,第一個元音會發聲。第一個元音通常會主導第一個音。例如,beat 中的 'ea「 和 lie 中的 」ie'。
