Future Telephones

A person’s voice can travel all the way around the world. Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth.

Now people are able to listen to and talk to a person far away. 【1】It’s almost as nice as visiting the person. But it is not really the same thing. When you visit, you see a person, but when you use the phone, you don’t see the person you’re talking with.

That may change in the near future.

Today some people are using a kind of telephone called picture phone. 【2】

Picture phones can be very useful when you have something to show the person you’re calling. One day you may be able to phone a library and ask to read a book. 【3】

Or you may be able to go shopping through your picture phone. Let’s say, you see something in the newspaper that you want to buy. You will go to your phone and call the shop. 【4】You’ll be able to shop all over the town and never even leave your room!

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。【5】
