The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned(承担)the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new glovesone in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “Theres a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.” 56. The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of _. A. an artist B. a mobile C. a company D. an exhibition57. Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves _.A. in the exhibition B. from Mr MilesC. after they recycle the gadgets D. when they are mass produced 58. The purpose of the project is to _.A. promote the technology of ITB. raise peoples awareness of recyclingC. enable people to talk to their handsD. attract visitors attention in the exhibition59. What is the passage mainly about?A. New mobiles that are fashionable.B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.

In her own day, her decision to remain single was considered absurd and dangerous. A queen needed a husband to make political decisions for her and to organize and lead her military campaigns. More important, she needed male heirs to avoid a civil war after her death.There was no shortage of suitors for the Queen, both English courtiers (朝臣) and foreign princes, and it was confidently expected for the best part of 30 years that Elizabeth would eventually marry one of them. Indeed , although she insisted that she preferred the single state, she kept these suitors in a state of permanent expectation. This was a deliberate policy on the Queen's part, since by keeping f
