Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more.-author-dateIT行业英语-第2版-听力原文IT行业英语-第2版-听力原文Unit 1Part 1: Listening1. Choose the Proper Words or ExpressionsListen to the following passage. Pick out the underlined words or expressions which are the closest to what you have heard.Alex: I installed Windows 7 on a separate partition so I could conduct side-by-side analysis with Vista. The installation took merely 20 minutes. Immediately, I noticed a significantly improved startup time over Vista. Windows 7 fires up to the logon screen in 30 seconds. Web pages load quicker. Programs run appreciably faster. The memory footprint is also reduced measurably. Vista always felt a bit heavy. I've experienced zero driver compatibility issues. It installed the requisite drivers for my HP Printer, network card, video card, etc. I encourage an upgrade to Windows 7. I highly recommend that you do a clean install however.Mark: Windows 7 won't let me access My Documents from the desktop - when I try to put a shortcut there, the shortcut opens "Libraries" with "Documents" a subfolder, and "My Documents" a subfolder to that. Whats more, the Office 2007 ribbon has now been added to Paint and WordPad. For users who dislike the ribbon concept from Office 2007, this seems bothersome. 2. Answer the QuestionsListen to the following passage. Try your best to understand the lines and answer the following questions.I am a full-time Windows XP user who didnt upgrade to Vista on my two main PCs, but I can't see a good reason for sticking with XP now that it looks doomed. The first thing you'll notice about Windows 7 is that it looks like Vista. It also works like Vista. However, it works much better than Vista, for most of Vista's annoyances have either been removed, or can be changed so the system works the way you like. It takes personalization to extremes.Microsoft has analyzed the data from millions of user computing sessions to find out exactly what people do with their computers, and then attacked the "pain points" to make Windows 7 quicker and smoother. Any PC that currently runs Vista will be better at running Windows 7 a first for Microsoft and it should also run on most PCs that are running Windows XP. The catch is that upgrading a PC running Windows XP requires a clean installation of Windows 7: you can't do an in-place upgrade. This has been a source of complaints, because it means reinstalling all your applications as well.Windows 7 is a long way from being perfect, and it's not an essential upgrade if you're happy with XP, but there is no real reason to avoid it. Windows 7 is simply the best version of Windows you can get.Questions:1) According to the passage, what is the first thing you will notice about Window 7?2) Why does Windows 7 work much better than Vista?3) What has Microsoft done to make Windows 7 quicker and smoother?4) Is there any problem when upgrading a PC from Window XP to Windows 7?
