　　The big red American car was much too wide for an English country road. When Jack saw it coming toward him, he stopped his own car at the side of the road to make room for it to pass. The American car went slowly past, so close that he could see the driver's face quite clearly.

　　“Where have I seen that face before?” he thought, “Wait a minute! I remember now. It was in the newspaper!” He took out the newspaper from his bag, turned quickly to the middle page. There was a picture of the face in it. Yes, it had a large mouth and small ears , and his eyes were behind dark glasses.

　　“Wanted by the police,” read by Jack. “The City Bank will give a lot of money to anyone who helps the police to catch this man.”

　　A mobile phone（手机）is in fact a small radio. A radio sends a person's voice over a long way to another radio. A voice that is sent by radio is called a signal（信号）. A radio signal travels very quickly.

　　Only a few years ago, mobile phones were very largE．They needed large batteries（电池）. They had to be powerful（功率高的）to send their signal to faraway places. This was because most cities had only one antenna tower（中继站）for mobile phones.

　　Today's mobile phones are small and easy to usE．Now most cities have a lot of antenna towers, not just onE．This means that each mobile phone doesn't have to send its signal far away, so they don't need to be so powerful. Mobile phones today use small batteries. A large city, where lots of mobile phones are used, can have hundreds of towers.

　　Do you know what use a mobile phone has? Yes, you can use it to do a lot of things.

　　Call your friends and family from almost anywhere.

　　Sending short written messages is a popular way to use your mobile phonE．Many people use short forms of words, so the messages are quick to write and reaD．Can you guess what these messages mean? Try reading them out. What do you hear?
