“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”

The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the
same time, on the same day:
December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking
envelopes containing cards with the same
message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news
companies.
One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The
Post. The card was beautifully
designed
–
a black background with the words printed out in crisp
white letters. There was no explanation
on the back, just a website went to the website. Its style
was identical to the ca rd’s and said:

“Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”

The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising
about Anytime. Was it a shopping
it was a
websit
e like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s
marketing had worked
–household name before it’d even made a single
sale.
When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website
suddenly had a single field that read,
“What do you want?”
All you had to do was type the words into that box,
and then specify how quickly you
wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.
Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were
glowing. Within weeks, Anytime
had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the
post anymore as Anytime was much
cheaper and faster.
Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who
owned the company, but it
was registered in a small country that did not require such information
to be made public. He did find some
interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it
seemed, met with serious trouble. A
government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to
leave his position after news stories
suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another
company taking Anytime to court died
in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.
Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible
happen to them after opposing
or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred
examples. Something was definitely wrong.
Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could
provide more information and
looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an
exhausted Chris finally fell asleep
at his desk at 4 a.m..
When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his
computer screen: “Sto

trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stoppi
ng now that he
knew he was on the right track.
28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?
A. An invitation to a company opening.
B. The website address of a new company.
C. The words “

Anytime:Starting tomorrow”.

D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.

29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news
reporters?
A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.

B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.
C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.
D. So people would find the new company interesting.
30. What did Chris’ s research suggest about

Anytime?
A. It may be very dangerous.
B. Its popularity would soon decrease.
C. It was doing business all over the world.
D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.
31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?
A. Scared that he would get into trouble.
B. Confident that he would find the truth.
C. Nervous about what the company would do.
D. Satisfied that he had discov
ered the company’s secret.

Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing
technology. Tasks that once
required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping
a name or even a face on your
screen, and you’re connected. But
also easier is unconsciously getting
caught up in a dilemma by violating
certain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call
until you’ve texted to confirm it to call. But that’s just the beginning.

“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a
29
-year-old office manager
from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than
anything else in life is the terrible
one-word message
—“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said
“At least give
me a few w
here. You’re not that busy.”

There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken
Lo social media to express
their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital
communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in
the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the
same way that generations and small groups of friends
have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to
technology- dependent beings that
have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication
can be filled with ambiguous
clues (
线索、迹象
) that the person on the other end of the call, text or
email may or may not easily
understand.
