If you go to the Hong Kong History Museum,  you will see a photo taken in 1989 of a man holding a mobile phone. The phone is the size of a small handbag and when the person is speaking into, it,  it covers half of his face! In sixteen years,  people have entered the mobile phone age. Some mobile phones these days are so small that they can fit right into your hand. If these changes have taken place(发生) in just sixteen years,  what kind of mobile phones will be used in the future?

Mobile phones of the future may be able to play music in the same way as an MD player. As for size,  the technology will make them small enough to fit on your arm,  just like a watch you wear.

Here is an e-mail from Simon's e-friend Mike. Read it and try to find what Mike's problem is and then complete the exercises after it. Choose the correct answers.

　　Dear Simon

　　How are you recently? I've not received your letter for nearly a month. I hope everything goes well with you.

　　I have moved into a new house. But I don't feel happy about it. Because my parents have suddenly become very serious about cleaning. They want me to be very diligent about cleaning my room. I have to make the bed every day. I have to put all of my things away before l go to bed every evening.

　　When we lived in the old house, life was more relaxed and my parents weren't so strict about cleaning. I could leave all my books and toys all over the house. I was free at that time. I prefer my life in the old house.

　　My parents say that a clean house is a comfortable house. Do you agree with them?

　　Regards

　　Mike
