A mobile phone is in fact a small radio.A radio sends a person’s voice over a long way to another radio.A voice that is sent by radio is called a signal.A radio signal travels very quickly.

  Only a few years ago,mobile phones were very large.They needed large batteries.They had to be powerful to send their signal to faraway places.This was because most cities had only one antenna tower for mobile phones.

  Today’s mobile phones are small and easy to use.Now most cities have a lot of antenna towers,not just one.This means that each mobile phone doesn’t have to send its signal far away,so they don’t need to be so powerful.Mobile phones today use small batteries.A large city,where lots of mobile phones are used,can have hundreds of towers.

  Do you know what use a mobile phone has? Yes,you can use it to do a lot of things.

  Call your friends and family from almost anywhere.

  Call the police immediately if there is an accident in the street.

  Send or receive messages.

  Sending short written messages is a popular way to use your mobile phone.Many people use short forms of words,so the messages are quick to write and read.Can you guess what these messages mean? Try reading them out.What do you hear?

  Every August on the island of Heimaey, off the southern coast of Iceland, young people often take a walk along the street throughout the night.What’s more, their parents allow them to stay out.Why? The children of Heimaey are going to save young puffins-small black-and white seabirds.

  The cliffs above the town are home to a large group of puffins.The birds dig holes all around the cliffs.These holes are their homes.Their young stay in the holes for about seven weeks.Then they begin to leave.Some move slowly on their undeveloped wings and fell down to the northern Atlantic Ocean that surrounds Heimaey.There they swim, which they can do naturally, and learn to dive for fish.Others, however, may lose their way at night and find themselves in the town instead.On the ground, the young seabirds are in trouble.Because their wings are not fully developed, they cannot take off quickly to sea and safety.The birds then become a good meal for cats and other animals.

  For many years, islanders have helped the young puffins.Early at night in late August, children carrying thick paper boxes and lights hurry to the seashore to catch puffins.They spend most of the night running after the birds.They put the birds they’ve caught in boxes and take good care of them.

  The next morning the children take the puffins to the ocean and set them free.The birds will live at sea until they are at least two years old.Then they will return to the cliffs to build homes of their own for their families.

  Will the children of Heimaey always come to save puffiness? “Yes, ”answered the boy.“We look forward to it.The best time for us is setting the birds free.”

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.

Two minds with a single thought!

  The young fisherman is thinking of a way to cross the stream without getting his   1   wet.The engineer is thinking of a   2   to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet.You know the answer to   3   problems:a bridge.

  The fisherman's bridge doesn't take   4   to build.Just place a board across the little stream and you   5   If the board is strong enough and if the fisherman doesn't   6   too much, all will be well.

  Will the engineer   7   the same kind of bridge? You know he   8   and you know why.Automobiles are much heavier than   9   The river is much   10   than the stream.A long wood bridge just won't   11  .It isn't strong enough.It would   12   and break under its own weight.The fisherman's problem is very   13  .However, the engineer's is not.

  But don't   14   sorry for the engineer.He doesn't have to   15   the very beginning with a long board.People have been thinking about bridges for thousands of years.They have designed many types of bridges.Each bridge is suited to its special   16  .The engineer can choose the type best suited to the river and the   17   nearby.

  What choice does he have, and why is one   18   than the others? One way for you to find out is to make a few bridges out of cardboard.They won't be strong enough to   19   a five-ton truck, but you will find out some of the main   20   of bridge design by doing some experiments.
