36、If you go to the Hong Kong History Museum,  you will see a photo taken in 1989 of a man holding a mobile phone. The phone is the size of a small handbag and when the person is speaking into, it,  it covers half of his face! In sixteen years,  people have entered the mobile phone age. Some mobile phones these days are so small that they can fit right into your hand. If these changes have taken place(發(fā)生) in just sixteen years,  what kind of mobile phones will be used in the future?

Mobile phones of the future may be able to play music in the same way as an MD player. As for size,  the technology will make them small enough to fit on your arm,  just like a watch you wear.

33、HOW AMERICANS LIVE

                                   New York is America’s largest city, however, it may also be the country’s loneliest city. People living alone make up forty-eight percent of all households(家庭) on the island of Manhattan.

   “I think it’s the best way to live,” James Conaboy, a 35-year-old New York musician said, “If you want to make a mess, you can make a mess. If you want to paint the walls a certain color, you can do  it . “

   In the USA, there are more single-person households than classic nuclear families----a married couple and their natural children----according to a latest report. Other cities with high percentages(百分比) of single households are Washington DC, St. Louis, Denver and San Francisco.

   The high number of single households shows today’s values. People living alone, especially unmarried women used to have something to do with sadness. That feeling is no longer true. Self-esteem（自尊）isn’t based on having children and being married any more.
