【C3】______ for some of us who sat in the audience watching Steve Jobs introduce the device, the whole thing felt like a 【C4】______ . The iPad is a perfectly good product. It's reasonably 【C5】______ , and after spending a few minutes with one, I'm pretty sure I'll buy one for myself and probably 【C6】______ second one for my kids to watch movies on road trips.
Then why are we so【C7】______? The case is that at the very 【C8】______ , we had hoped a tablet from Apple would do something new. Jobs and his 【C9】______ kept using words like "breakthrough" and "magical", but the iPad is 【C10】______ It might turn out to be magical for Apple, because 【C11】______ Jobs is really doing here is trying to【C12】______the personal computer with a closed appliance that runs software only from Apple's online App Store. So instead of selling you a(n) 【C13】______ and never hearing from you again, Apple gets a(n) 【C14】______ revenue stream with iPad as you keep【C15】______more apps.

We need the magic 【C20】______ .

I’m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.
So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o£ colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.
I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)
While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?

A.A person spending winter in a warmer climate.

(2)What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?()
A.Winters in Long Island are milder.
B.The snowbirds in Long Island are rarer.
C.Weather in Long Island is severer.
D.Long Island is nearer to the ocean.
(3) What did the author miss most when he was in Florida?()
A.The colorful light display.
B.The family gathering.
C.The cold temperature.

B.To describe his dream to be a free bird.
C.To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.
D.To express his feeling of missing his hometown.
I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!
听力原文:M: Say, Lisa, what are you watching?
W: An old Japanese film. I'm going to spend next year there, so I'd better start familiarizing myself with the culture (23) .
M: You mean you are accepted into the program?
W: Sure was.
M: That's wonderful. You must be very-excited.
W: Excited and nervous. You know I owe a lot to Professor Whitehead. He wrote a letter of recommendation for me and he bought me some tapes and books so I can work on my basic conversation skills (24) .
M: How much Japanese can you understand?
W: Not a lot right now. But I signed up for Intensive Japanese this semester.
M: I wish I were as talented as you are in foreign languages. I'd love to study abroad.
W: Then why don't you? The university has lots of overseas programs that don't require mastery of a foreign language. The tuition is about the same. You just have to be the kind of person who is willing to accept new culture and who can also adapt to a different kind of life style. (25) .
M: Really? I might check into this.
W: You won't regret it.
