[00:08.49]1 Listen to the tape.

[00:12.85]What is being described?What can the things be used for?

[00:19.10]1 These are very simple,two sticks about 20cm long.

[00:27.35]They are usually made of wood. You hold the two sticks in one hand.

[00:34.48]But you will soon learn how to pick up even small pieces of food.

[00:40.65]2 This thing is very popular and useful. Almost everyone has one these days.

[00:49.40]You can see people using this thing on the bus,when they are walking or at home.

[00:55.95]It's usually small about the same size as your hand and comes in many colors.

[01:03.61]There're several buttons on it,some for numbers others for other things.

[01:10.45]It can be put in your pocket or in a small bag.

[01:15.49]With it you can talk to people far away.

[01:20.07]3 This is a large box with a big door.

[01:26.23]If you open the door,a light comes on,and you can see what inside.

[01:33.00]You'd better not leave the door open for too long,

[01:38.04]because it is not good for things inside

[01:43.08]You might catch a cold too,if you stand in front of the open door

[01:49.74]There're several shelves inside some in the box itself and some in the door.

[01:57.29]You usually find this large box in the kitchen.

[02:08.60]LIFE ON THE GO

[02:12.15]Wang Mei puts her hand into her pocket

[02:17.12]takes out her red cellphone 1 and presses the talk key.

[02:23.28]"Hi,mum!I'm on the bus I should be home in about ten minutes.

[02:31.35]"Wang Mei is one of many Chinese teenagers who live life "on the go"

[02:38.72]and use cellphones.

[02:42.19]Cellphones,or mobile 2 phones,

[02:46.64]make it possible for us to talk to anyone from anywhere.

[02:53.19]Words and images are being sent throughout 3 the world.

[02:58.55]Modern cellphones are more than just phones

[03:03.80]they are being used as cameras and radios,

[03:09.07]and to send e-mail or surf the Internet.

[03:14.35]New functions are being added 4 to the phones.

[03:19.31]The latest cellphones have features such as games,

[03:24.88]music and an electronic 5 calendar

[03:29.84]that will remind you about appointments and important dates.

[03:35.01]Cellphones have changed our behaviour and how we communicate

[03:41.07]They are being used everywhere--sometimes where they shouldn't.

[03:47.24]One headmaster says that phones are not allowed in the classroom.

[03:54.08]"If a phone starts ringing in the classroom,

[03:58.84]teachers and students are disturbed and cannot work.

[04:04.61]"The students obey the rules and agree not to se their phones in the classroom.

[04:11.87]"I don't dare 6 to use the phone in school,because they will take it away from me,"

[04:19.74]says John Hill,a student in London.

[04:24.59]John got his phone for his birthday,but his parents don't let him use it in school.

[04:32.74]Some parents worry

[04:36.22]that their children will spend too much time and money on phone calls.

[04:42.70]Why are cellphones so popular,especially among teenagers?

[04:49.46]The answer seems to be that we have a need to stay in touch with friends and family

[04:56.12]no matter where we are or what we are doing.

[05:00.98]Having a cellphone also makes us feel safer,

[05:06.13]since we can call for help in case of an emergency.

[05:11.09]Of course,to many teenagers the cellphone is not only a useful tool

[05:18.75]but also a way to have fun and be cool.

[05:24.02]Wang Mei calls her best friend Xiao Li

[05:28.78]at least once a day to see how she is doing

[05:33.92]and what she is going on.

[05:37.40]She says that her cellphone helps her do whatever she wants to do

[05:43.56]and still stay in touch with her parents and friends.

[05:48.73]"I think it's the most useful invention ever,

[05:53.88]Wang Mei says as she is dialling the number to Xiao Li again

[05:59.76]to ask her what she will be wearing to school tomorrow.

[06:05.01]INTEGRATING SKILS

[06:12.56]It is the year 2374 and the machines have taken over.

[06:20.21]The earth is ruled by a great computer named Q12

[06:25.78]that uses robots to make people work for it

[06:29.43]It is not a happy world.

[06:32.99]The few surviving human beings

[06:37.14]are being used in the way that we use machines today:

[06:42.29]they have to make electricity for the machines,repair them when they break down,

[06:49.44]and do everything Q12 tells them to.

[06:54.30]Once,the earth was a beautiful blue planet 7 where people lived happily among trees and animals.

[07:01.67]Now,the world is dark and dirty,with no room for happiness and fun.

[07:08.93] But there is still hope.

[07:12.09]The human beings have been able to keep a small,

[07:16.85]secret school open since the machines took over.

[07:21.91]In this school,the students still learn about all the wonders of the world

[07:28.08]science,art,history,culture--and they are still allowed to dream about a  better future

[07:37.64]The leader of the humans has decided 8 that it is time to do something to stop Q12,

[07:45.27]bring the machines and people back together,and make the world beautiful again.

[07:52.42]A group of experts were asked to solve the problem,but they failed.

[07:57.00]but they failed.Now,the leader has asked a group of students

[08:02.32]to do what they can to save the earth.

[08:06.45]Q12 cannot be defeated by force.

[08:10.61]It is too strong and no one believes that fighting a war can solve the problem.

[08:17.76]Instead, the students have decided to come up with a peaceful solution.

[08:24.53]They will try to teach Q12 about love and friendship.

[08:29.99]If they succeed,they believe that humans and machines can live together

[08:36.15]like friends in the future.

[08:39.60]Imagine that you are one of the students chosen to solve the problem.

[08:45.24]Write a letter to Q12 in which you explain love and friendship.

[08:51.49]Remember that Q12 is a computer that does not understand how human beings feel

[08:58.93]and what human life is like.

[09:02.69]Tell Q12 about how we think,how we feel about each other,

[09:08.75]and try to give examples of love and friendship.
