Passage 2

This year's Consumer Electronics Show opened Thursday in Las Vegas. The event is the world's biggest technology trade show.（4）More than three hundred companies are presenting more than twenty thousand new products.（三百多家公司展出了超過兩萬多件新產品。）The goal is to build excitement, make deals—and hopefully get good reviews in the media.（5）The experts predicted that one area of strong sales this year will be mobile phones.（專家們預測今年最具競爭力的領域將會是移動電話領域。）That includes fifty-two million smartphones expected to be sold in the United States.

（6-1）Google is launching the Nexus One—which it calls a "superphone." The Nexus One will compete withApple's popular iPhone. Apple is reportedly about to introduce a new digital tablet.（谷歌推出一個被稱為超級電話的產品Nexus—代，這個產品將和現在市場上熱賣的iPhone爭奪市場。據報道，蘋果公司將向消費者們介紹新型的平板數字電腦。）Tablets are easy-to-hold screens that let you read and watch media or search the Web. An example is the Amazon Kindle. Like netbooks, tablets cost less than traditional laptop computers. But that can also mean smaller profits for manufacturers and sellers.（6-2）Companies like Sony and Panasonic are introducing new television sets for watching three-dimensional TV.（像索尼和松下這樣的公司向消費者們展示了可以看3D電視的新型電視機。）A three-D TV costs more than three thousand dollars.
