In today's world of smart phones and notebook computers, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.

However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory business. And today, the image a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.

“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions .

Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.

Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative talent of a love sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’ s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!

25. What can we know from the first paragraph?

A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.

B. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.

C. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.

D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.

26 .Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _________.

A. tell that today’s watches need more imagination

B. show why Shinshoku watches are popular

C. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash

D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets

27. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Japanese Watches Stand Out

B. Watches Tell More Than Time

C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation

D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular

C

We Chinese are not big huggers．A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another．So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out to give us a hug，some of us feel awkward．Many questions go through our head．Where should I put my arms? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?

But it isn’t just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space．

In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal，US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture，Americans do seem to be hugging more．From politicians to celebrities，hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike，whether they are willing or not；and the public has been quick to pick up the practice．

Public figures know that nothing expresses fellowship or affection like a good hug．US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England．Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast，telling her fans that “I will always，always，try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you．”

But not all are grateful to be hugged，even by the most influential and famous．To them，any hug is offensive if it’s not sincere．Amanda Hess，writing for US magazine Slate，says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet．For them，a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship，or affection．It’s all part of a show．

28.Chinese people don’t enjoy hugs because_______．

A．they are conservative in physical touch

B．they don’t know how to hug corre
