In the 1800s, men in this country began to wear beaver hats. They, too, wanted to wear the sign that said, “Look at those men! They are rich!”

Soon it was hard to find beavers. To get more beaver furs, traders had to move West. Traders began to explore this new country. They came back with wonderful stories about the new land. Before long, many people wanted to go West to live.

Where people go, towns grow. Soon there were new towns in the West. Men looking for beaver for fancy(珍贵的,昂贵的)hats helped the West grow.

　　Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth. But when you use the phone, you don’t see the person you are talking with. That may change in the near future.

　　Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone. With it, two people who are talking can see each other.

　　Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show the person you’re calling. They may have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book. Then you’ll be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping through your picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you’ll go to your phone and call the shop. People at the shop will show you the thing you’re interested in right over the phone. You’ll be able to shop all over town and never even leave your room!
