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?

　 ∶·)laughing∶ ·(sad∶·<really sad

　 8 · | surprised＼· o bored

Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the 　31 　is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a 　32 　country like Germany?

Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making 　33 　for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first 　34 one long hot summer when most Germans were 　35 on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches, 　36 a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
