Apple
lost its status as the world's only trillion-
dollar public company as shares slumped
(股票下跌)following disappointing results.
The iPhone maker said that it would no longer tell
how many iPhones，iPads and
Macs it sells each
quarter，claiming the figure was no longer relevant
to investors (投资
者).The announcement，combined
with a forecast for the vital Christmas
quarter，sent shares falling
by more than 7
percent in after-hours trading，knocking over $$70
billion off its value. If main-
tained，the drop means Apple ’ s value has
fallen below the trillion-dollarmark for the
first time since it reached the milestone in
August.
Apple's fall came
despite it posting record profits
and sales after it convinced
consumers to buy
more expensive versions of the iPhone in the three
months to the
end of this period，it sold 46.9
million iPhones，flat on the same
period last
year and below what analysts had expected.
However，a huge increase
in the price of each
phone meant that iPhone revenues (收益)increased by
29
average，consumers now pay $$793 for each
iPhone，up from $$618 a year ago.
Apple has
successfully pushed its users into paying more for
newer versions of its iPhone
by adding new
features and bigger screen sizes，even as sales
growth has decreased. Revv- nues
in the
quarter increased by 20 percent to $$62.9
billion，while profits were up 32 percent to
$$14.1 Cook，Apple's chief executive，said sales had
been disappointing
in some emerging markets
such as India，Turkey and Brazil.
Apple
sold fewer Mac computers and iPads than a year
ago, but said revenues from its software
division had increased by 17 percent. Apple
said it would continue to say how much revenue it
makes from each of its product lines，which it
claimed was a more relevant figure than unit
sales.
28. What did the iPhone maker's
announcement cause?
A. It caused a stable
market.
B. It caused a drop in sales.
C.
It caused weaker shares.
D. It caused an
increase in sales.
29. How were
year?
the sales of iPhones in the three months to
the end of September last
A. They were better
than this year.
B. They were the same with
this year.
C. They were not reported to the
public.
D. They were more terrible than this
year.
30. Why did the revenues increase as the
shares slumped?

education. To become proficient (精通的）
in
English you have to take responsibility and be
active in acquiring it. You have to live and
breathe English.36 Here are some suggestions
for making English your own.
37 Many
people study English as if it were math or
science. They often feel they are trying
to
solve a problem. Yes, you can study rules, but
there are often more exceptions to the rules
than there are rules. This doesn't mean you
shouldn't study them, but language is living. It
breathes, it moves, it grows, and it changes.
You have to learn to live it, to feel it in your
soul. You have tt make it your own. It has to
become a part of you. 38
Don't hold on to
your dictionary so tightly. 39 Our brains slow
down when we are constantly
translating
English to and from our language. The first tiling
you should do is stop translating
new words
you hear directly into your native language. Most
people immediately go to their
electronic dictionaries
this instead：
or phrase from context. 40 If you still don't
