It was a market day, so people and traffic had been pouring into the town since early morning.  16  it was an old town, even the main street was very  17  and soon became overcrowded. There was not enough  18  for all the people on the sidewalk at the roadside,  19  they overflowed into the road, 20   danger to their lives from  21  cars and buses, the drivers of  42  were constantly blowing their horns (喇叭) to 23  people to get out of their  24 .

    Yet it was a(n)  25  scene. Peasants walked along the street, their heads piled high with baskets or beautifully woven blankets which they hoped to   26  to the townsfolk. Men with carts  27  their way along, shouting their goods at the top of their  28 . They were selling apples, oranges and grapes -- the 29  of their fields. 30  it all, women in bright summer clothes made their way, laughing and talking, 31  children rushed in and out of the crowds screaming with laughter when they did’t ask for something they could not have, or crying with  32  because they were lost.

    The noise went on all day. People did not even stop for a meal, but preferred to buy bits of meat cooked over a fire or bread or ice-cream from the street sellers. The  33  from this and from all the activities of the day began to collect in the street. And finally, when night at last came, the street 34   and only the rubbish  35   sadly blowing in the cooling night wind.

  Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it even cheaper by shortening the words that you use. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words and using numbers instead of words(2=to, 3=free, 4=for, 8=ate, h8=hate, etc. ). Here is an example :Im 3 nw, why nt gv me a cll? (I’m free now, why not give me a call?)

Mobile phone users have developed a series of symbols to show how they feel. They are called emoticons(情感符号). To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways. For example, if you say something in a text message which is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face. Like this: Why did t u cll me? Im so sad. ∶-)

  Here are some others. Can you think of these text messages where you could use them?

Young Jack moved to a new house. When entering his new bedroom, he saw that it was full of toys but it was tidy. That day he played all he liked, but went to bed without tidying up.
The next morning, when Jack got up, he found all the toys had been put back in their proper places. He was sure that no one had entered his bedroom, but the boy didn’t pay much attention to it. The exact same thing happened that day, and the next day. But on the fourth day when he went to get his favourite toy, the toy jumped out of his hands and said, “I don’t want to play with you!”
Jack felt surprised, but the same happened with every toy he touched. Finally, one toy said to him:
“We don’t want to play with you. You always leave us so far away from our proper places. You don’t know how arduous it is for us to climb back up onto the shelves, or jump into the box. We feel most uncomfortable and unhappy. You don’t know how uncomfortable and cold the floor is! We don’t play with you any more if you don’t promise to leave us in our proper places before you go to bed.”
Jack remembered how comfortable he felt in his bed and how bad he felt when he had once slept in a chair. He realized how badly he had treated his friends, the toys. He asked for their forgiveness(原谅), and from that day on he always put his toys nicely in their proper places before he got into bed.
