it thankfully and smiled

telephone and television are widely used in the world. When you 1
the radio, you can listen. But when you use the telephone, not only
you can listen to others __2 you

3 see anything at all.
Television is much better than 4 of them. People can watch TV and listen to
it. But they can't take part in 5
they see.
Today
some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision
phone. 6 it two people who are talking can see
each other.

person you are calling. They may have other uses in the future. Some day you
may be able to 8 a library and ask to read a book
right over your picture phone. You may also be able to go shopping through it,
too. When you 9 something in the newspaper that you
think you want to buy, you may go to your picture phone and call the shop. The
shop assistant will show you the thing that you're 10
in right over the phone. You'll be able to shop all over the town
and never leave your home.

My
parents took me to Japan
when I was little. I lived there for five years.__1__ I came back，my Japanese was very good.
"Can I do something useful with my Japanese?" I asked myself.
Then，one day last spring，I got a good opportunity(机会)．
Everyone
was afraid of SARS，so I stayed at home with
2 to do.
My
father brought me a Japanese book. "Why don't you translate(翻译)it into Chinese? It will
be better than 3 computer games all day.”
I
promised(许诺)to do 2,000 words each
day. But 4 I found it was hard to keep the
promise.
One
day in May，the weather was beautiful.
But I couldn’t go out. Those 2,000 words were still 5
me.
After
translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book.
I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn’t make
myself turn the pages. How I 6 I could just go outside and play
football with my friends！
I
counted the words again and again. I just wanted to give up.
I
felt as if two people were fighting
7 my mind. One said，“Don’t give up！Keep working hard，and you’ll do well!” But then the other one said，“Go and play！It will be more 8
than translating. Do your work tomorrow.”
I stood up and would 9
the computer.
But then I remembered 10
my parents had told me：“Whatever you do，don't stop half way”So I sat down and went on
with it.

English
names and Chinese names are quite different in some 1 ways, but it's not
hard for us to know．
Unlike Chinese, most English people
have 2 names． One is their family name,
both of the other names are given names． Their family name is 3 the given name． They use Mr, Mrs or Miss
with the 4 name, but they never use 5
with the first name． For example, we can
6 a man named James
Allan Green Mr Green, _
7 we can't call him Mr James or
Mr Allan． People usually use Jim 8_ James． Jim is short for James because it's 9
to remember．
But Chinese names are the opposite． A girl with the name Han
Limei 10 her family name Han first． Of course, she can be
called Ah Mei for short in China if you wish．
