Mr Henry taught sixth grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a 1 about an animal called the cattywampus, a kind of animal that died out during the Ice Age. He 2 around a skull(头盖骨)as he walked. We all took 3 and later had a test.

When he returned my paper, I was 4 .There was a big red “×” through each of my answers. I had failed! 5 must be some mistake! I had written down 6 what Mr Henry

said. Then I learned that everyone in the class had 7 . What had happened? Very simple, Mr Henry 8 . He had invented this cattywampus. There had never 9 any such animal. The information in our notes was, 10 , incorrect. Did we expect our marks for incorrect answers? Needless to say, we were 11 .

What kind of test was this? And what kind of teacher? Mr Henry said he 12 we would learn something from this experience. 13 and textbooks are not perfect. 14 no one is. He told us not to 15 our minds go to sleep, and to speak out 16 we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.

Every class was an exciting one 17 Mr Henry. I can still remember some science periods from beginning to end. I haven’t made any great scientific subjects, 18 Mr Henry’s class gave me and my classmates something 19 , like the courage to look people in the 20  and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you can have fun doing it.

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.
  “Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.
  With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
  Face-to-face video calls
  Don’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.
  However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.
Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.
International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.
“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”
