Tired of carrying around that heavy wallet? Soon you won’t need to! The next generation of smart phones will have NFC technology, which lets you pay for things with your smart phones. All you do is enter your credit card information into your phone. Then, when you are in a shop that allows NFC payments, you just wave your phone over a special instrument at the checkout. The purchase is instantly charged to your credit card.
Ever seen someone wearing something and wished you knew where to get it? Soon it will be easy with PicCommerce, new technology that uses image-recognition software. Here’s how it works.

Pronunciation Tips
These English pronunciation tips will help you get the most out of your Pronunciation Power program.
★    36  
For example, “threw” and “through”, although spelled differently, are pronounced the same. Also, identical（相同的） letters or letter clusters（字母组合） in words do not always produce the same sound. For example, the “ough” in “though” and “through” represents a different sound in each word.   37   
★ Imagine a sound in your mind before you say it.
Try to visualize（想象)）the positioning of your mouth and face.   38  
★ Listen to and try to imitate the Pronunciation Power instructor.
In addition to listening for specific sounds, pay attention to pauses, the intonation（语调） of the instructor's voice and patterns of emphasis.   39  
★ The English language has many different dialects, and words can be pronounced differently.
It is important, however, that you pronounce words clearly to ensure effective communication.
★ Finally, the Pronunciation Power program is a tool to help you.
But you must practice what you are learning! Remember that you are teaching your mouth a new way to move. You are building muscles that you do not use in your own language.   40    Use the program to exercise your mouth a little bit each day.
A. Read these words over and over again and try to learn them by heart.
