Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage。
Chaz Albert is a passionate “texter；” someone who loves to send and receive text messages via cell phone。 He does it at home； at school and at work。 He often prefers texting over talking on his cell phone。
In the last two years； text messages — which cell carriers generally limit to 160 characters — have become a rage among teenagers； who embrace the technology as yet another way to escape a boring class or stay in touch with friends。
But text…messaging； or texting for short； has a downside。 It can be expensive。 Many high school and college students acomustomed to sending unlimited instant messages on their computers do not adapt easily to text messaging’s pay…per…message format； and end up with unexpectedly high bills when they get involved in keypad conversations that involve hundreds； even thousands； of messages a month。 The results are angry confrontations with parents； long…term payment plans and the loss of cell phone privileges。
Text…messaging has flourished for years in Europe and Asia； where it is immensely popular among young people。 In the United States； activity was limited until 2002； when a breakthrough in the wireless market allowed short text messages to be sent among customers of the major cellular carriers。 Previously； customers could send messages only to those who used the same carrier。
The service； known as S。M。S。 （for Short Message Service）； has since taken off。 Acomording to a recent report Americans sent 2。5 billion text messages a month in mid…2004； triple the number sent in mid…2002。
Teenagers are clearly driving the trend。 “Younger people do text messaging a lot more than older folks；” said Mr。 Nogee。 “They’re more used to it from instant messaging on the computer； from growing up with it。 Older people would rather call up and talk。”
11。 The word “texter” （Line 1； Para 1） mainly refers to 。
A。 people who only call up and talk on cell phones
B。 people who not only “tezting”； but also call up on cell phones
C。 people who never call up but only send messages on cell phones
D。people who do a lot more messaging than calling with a cell phone
12。 Why are teenagers so addicted to text…messaging？
A） texting is much cheaper than making calls
B） texting is regarded as another way of escape a boring class or stay in touch with friends
C） texting on a cell phone allows unlimited characters
D） texting has flourished for many years in Europe and Asia
13。 One downside of text…messaging is 。
A） it may be expensive if one are not so familiar with its paying format
B） it may be a waste of time
C） one may become less talkative on the phone
D） it usually has a limitation of 160 characters
14。 Which of the following version is NOT true acomording to the article？
A） Younger people are more used to instant messaging on a computer than older folks。
B） Statistics has shown that text message business has proliferated over the past three years。
C） U。S’s S。M。S business in mid…2004 is four times larger than in mid…2002。
