My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels（频道）. My bothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. There are channels with old films, cooking, fishing and so on. It's amazing! I wonder how much my bothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I notice families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it keeps people from arguing(吵架) over which channel to choose.

waste. Our other neighbors don't like his behavior. But in my opinion, it's his way to support his family. Once, after cleaning my house, I placed some cardboard boxes in his garden and left my rubbish beside my door. However, when I was about to go out, I found nothing outside my door but a note: "I have thrown away your rubbish. You are a nice girl. Thanks a lot!"
