When my mom came home from the hospital with twins, I was excited at the very beginning. I couldn’t 36  to play with them and be the best big sister ever.

    Everyone was coming over to our house to hold the babies and  37  presents to the babies and talk nonstop how  38  the babies were. Then they’d pull out their cameras, and just  39  I was about to say “cheese”, they’d run over to my perfectly perfect little brothers and take  40  of them. At that time I was thinking, “Why can’t I be little again so I can be the one getting all the 41 ?

    When my aunt Camille got  42 , my mom spent forever finding the perfect clothes for them. On the day of the  43 , my twin brothers had the cutest and prettiest clothes. And then there was me, just sitting and watching in my  44  dress.

    After the ceremony, all I  45  was how sweet and lovely the twins were.

  I definitely  46  that they were wonderful, but I couldn’t help feeling  47  and invisible (看不见的).

    There was a big   48  after the wedding. Aunt Camille and her nice new  49  had the first dance, and then everyone started  50  like crazy including me. I  51   my uncomfortable dress shoes, and I danced and danced and danced! It  52  one of the most fun times I’ve had in my entire life.

    The very  53  part was when my aunt and I took my twin brothers by the hands and  54  them some dance moves. Teaching them was such a cool thing. I 55  then what a huge waste of time feeling jealous is when you can kick off your shoes and enjoy life!

These days, if you still think the cell phone is just for talking, you’ll get laughed at. Yes, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them. Some of the things a cell phone can do for you will be available this year:

Surf at speed

    Cell phones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation (3G) networks that let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150.

Listen as you go

The problem with most cell phone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Samsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.

Say cheese

Camera cell phones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel (百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common, and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’s recent A7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full-motion video.

Portable TV

You say you like “watching TV”? That’s what Samsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes — for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N940. The NEC model lets you watch public TV — no fee.

The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator ... So what is there that a cell phone can’t do?
