ARestaurants in the USASteve’s PizzaSo many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York–style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成份). New branches of Steve’s are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.Opening hours: 11am-3amCattleman’s SteakhouseThis place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here.

Videos playsmoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at all．Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem，which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers, for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere．Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still, the“last mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.12.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA. Internet connections have been popular everywhere．B. Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(农村的)customers．C. The problem of Internet access hasn’t been completely dealt with.D. Computer can’t become popular in developing countries．13.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.A .make TV and telephone available everywhereB. bring great change to people’s everyday lifeC. bring faster Internet connections to usersD. make it possible for more people to use the Internet14.at may eventually settle the “last mile” problemA. The broadband connection’s getting faster．B. The rapid progress in cell phone technology．C. More and more Internet connections．D. More and more Internet users.15．The best title for this passage may be________．A. Internet Connection ProblemsB. Internet Connections Need ImprovingC. Progress in Internet ConnectionsD.
