[00:06.58]1 Listen to the tape.
[00:10.95]What is being described?What can the things be used for?
[00:17.11]1 These are very simple,two sticks about 20cm long.
[00:25.36]They are usually made of wood. You hold the two sticks in one hand.
[00:32.84]You put one stick between two of your fingers
[00:37.98]and you hold the other one with your thumb.
[00:42.42]These things can be difficult to use at first.
[00:47.39]But you will soon learn how to pick up even small pieces of food.
[00:53.63]2 This thing is very popular and useful.
[00:59.09]Almost everyone has one these days.
[01:03.45]You can see people using this thing on the bus,when they are walking or at home.
[01:09.93]It's usually small about the same size as your hand and comes in many colors.
[01:17.58]There're several buttons on it,some for numbers others for other things.
[01:24.43]It can be put in your pocket or in a small bag.
[01:29.39]With it you can talk to people far away.
[01:33.96]3 This is a large box with a big door.
[01:40.13]If you open the door,a light comes on,and you can see what inside.
[01:46.97]You'd better not leave the door open for too long,
[01:52.01]because it is not good for things inside
[01:57.05]You might catch a cold too,if you stand in front of the open door
[02:03.72]There're several shelves inside some in the box itself and some in the door.
[02:11.37]You usually find this large box in the kitchen.
[02:16.52]READING LIFE ON THE GO
[02:24.67]Wang Mei puts her hand into her pocket
[02:29.63]takes out her red cellphone and presses the talk key.
[02:36.08]"Hi,mum!I'm on the bus I should be home in about ten minutes.
[02:44.15]"Wang Mei is one of many Chinese teenagers who live life "on the go"
[02:51.52]and use cellphones.
[02:54.97]Cellphones,or mobile phones,
[02:59.62]make it possible for us to talk to anyone from anywhere.
[03:06.17]Words and images are being sent throughout the world.
[03:11.53]Modern cellphones are more than just phones
[03:16.68]they are being used as cameras and radios,
[03:22.03]and to send e-mail or surf the Internet.
[03:27.31]New functions are being added to the phones.
[03:32.27]The latest cellphones have features such as games,
[03:37.91]music and an electronic calendar
[03:42.75]that will remind you about appointments and important dates.
[03:48.39]Cellphones have changed our behaviour and how we communicate
[03:54.45]They are being used everywhere--sometimes where they shouldn't.
[04:00.61]One headmaster says that phones are not allowed in the classroom.
[04:07.46]"If a phone starts ringing in the classroom,
[04:12.42]teachers and students are disturbed and cannot work.
[04:18.17]"The students obey the rules and agree not to use their phones in the classroom.
[04:25.53]"I don't dare to use the phone in school,because they will take it away from me,"
[04:33.29]says John Hill,a student in London.
[04:38.15]John got his phone for his birthday,
[04:42.59]but his parents don't let him use it in school.
[04:47.87]Some parents worry
[04:51.34]that their children will spend too much time and money on phone calls.
[04:57.90]Why are cellphones so popular,especially among teenagers?
[05:04.56]The answer seems to be that we have a need to stay in touch with friends and family
[05:11.22]no matter where we are or what we are doing.
[05:16.08]Having a cellphone also makes us feel safer,
[05:21.23]since we can call for help in case of an emergency.
[05:27.00]Of course,to many teenagers the cellphone is not only a useful tool
[05:34.65]but also a way to have fun and be cool.
[05:39.93]Wang Mei calls her best friend Xiao Li
[05:44.69]at least once a day to see how she is doing and what she is going on.
[05:51.74]She says that her cellphone helps her do whatever she wants to do
[05:57.98]and still stay in touch with her parents and friends.
[06:03.13]"I think it's the most useful invention ever,
[06:08.40]Wang Mei says as she is dialling the number to Xiao Li again
