Great changes have taken place in the way of communication in people's life.

    You may find many beacon towers (烽火台) when you are visiting the Great Wall. In fact, they were used by soldiers to send messages by burning something to make smoke. When the soldiers from far away places saw the smoke, they knew something important happened. They would do the same. That's one of the ways of communication. In the old days, it was very difficult for people to keep in touch with each other. It took postmen several days to send a letter from one place to another by riding horses. In order to provide a place for the postmen to live in, the government had to build many post houses. Some people trained pigeons (鸽子) or other birds to carry letters, others even used kites to send messages.

    Telegrams (1781) and fixed telephones (1892) are great inventions. They have changed the way of communication. People can communicate with each other easily. But they can only send words. For pictures, people can use fax(传真) machines (1843) or e-mails (1969). With the spread of Internet, people can send messages at any time, in any place only if there is network and a computer. What's more, smart phones (1973) have made communication much easier. They are like small computers. They can send sound, words and pictures. More than two billion (十亿) people around the world are using smart phones to communicate now.

C

   "Hey, Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "Which fast food do you like best when you were growing up?"

    "We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I told him. "All the food was slow." "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called 'at home', " I explained. "Grandma cooked every day and when grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dinning room, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate, I was asked to sit there until I did like it."

    When I was a kid, most parents didn't own their houses, set foot on a golf course(高尔夫球场), travel out of the country or have a credit card(信用卡).

    My parents have never driven me to football practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of football. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and it only had one speed. We only had a television in our house when I was 11.

    I delivered(邮送) newspapers, six days a week. The customers should spend 7 cents, of which I could keep 2 cents on the newspapers. I had to get up at 4 a. m. every morning. On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers. My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change.

    If you grew up in a generation ( 一代) before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children and grandchildren. Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

16. Where did the writer eat when he was a child?

A. At school. B. At a restaurant. C. At home.

17. Did he have something nice to eat if he didn't like his grandma's food?

A. Yes, he did.

B. No, he didn't.

C. Yes, his father would take him to have fast food.

18. The writer could earn _____ cents from every customer every week.

A. 10  B. 42  C. 12  

19. What do you think of the writer's childhood?

A. It was rich. B. It was hard. C. It was hungry.  

20. What is the meaning of  "Growing up isn't what it used to be" ？

A. World is changing.

B. We can't grow up.

C. We should remember the past.
