Have you ever counted the number of digits （数字）in your mobile phone number？ Your number has 11 digits． You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number． That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world． Why is that？
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts． Each part has a different meaning． The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider（提供者） you are using． For example， 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom． The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered （注册）． And the last four digits are random（随机的）．
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world． We once had 10numbers． But as our population grew， there were not enough numbers for us to use． So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999． Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers． That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China．
And mobile phone numbers can be recycled． Usually， the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months． If you call a number that you haven't contacted （联系）for a long time， you may find that its owner has changed．
Besides China， Britain and Japan also use 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers． But their numbers always start with 0． So they cannot create as many numbers as we can． Countries like the United States， Australia and India use phone numbers with 10digits． Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world： they use seven digits．
（1）Is China the only country that uses 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers in the world？
（2）What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China？
（3）Why does China use 1l digits for mobile phone numbers？
（4）When can a mobile phone number be recycled in China？
（5）Which country perhaps has the shortest mobile phone numbers in the world？

Have you ever imagined what life will be like in 2060？An international group of forty scientists have made some surprising predictions.They said that in the next forty years，our lives would change beyond our wildest dreams.
Firstly，humans can grow body parts themselves.Dr.Ellen Heber﹣Katz is one of the forty scientists.He says， "People will think it common that sick organs （器官） can be repaired.It's just like the way we fix a car." Damaged parts will be taken away.Scientists could use human cells （细胞） to grow new organs.New technologies like this will also help people to live longer.Within forty years，most people will be able to live up to one hundred years.
Secondly，the scientists have predicted that a machine will be invented to "read" the minds of animals.In 2060，we will be able to "talk" to animals.Scientists say that humans may first "talk" with mammals （哺乳动物） and then other vertebrates （脊椎动物） such as fish.
Our houses might also change beyond our imagination.Dr.Susan Greenfield predicts that when you enter the living room，sensors （传感器） will know you.They will turn on the lights.If you talk to the lights，they will change to the color of your choice.
But what would be the biggest breakthrough （突破） over the next forty years？A number of scientists believe it would be the discovery of aliens.NASA scientist Chris Mckay says， "We may find aliens in space and talk with them." He believes marks of alien life may even be found here on Earth.

Most children are taught the virtue （美德） of honesty from stories.The well﹣known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth.Every time Pinocchio lies，his nose grows longer and longer.Another story is about the boy who"cried wolf." In the end，he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times.These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy." Still，if thisis the case，then why do so many people lie？The fact is that people lie for many reasons.
One reason people lie is to minimize （减少） a mistake.While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time，some people do not have the courage to admit their errors （错误） because they are afraid they will be blamed.For example，students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework.They might say that they left the work at home when，in fact，they did not do the work at all.These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible，so they make up an excuse﹣ a lie﹣ to save face.
Another reason for lying has to do with self﹣protection.Parents，particularly those with young children，may teach their children to use this type of"protective" lie in certain circumstances （状况）.What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out？Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time.In this situation，protective lying can mean greater safety.
People lie for many reasons，both good and bad.Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results.However，lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end.Understanding the motives behind the impulse （冲动） to lie might minimize this habit of lying.

By asking questions. |

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children． On the door， they saw a sign "NO CHLDREN．" "Why can't we bring our children？" "What on earth does the owner want to do？" The parents were surprised and complained angrily．
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door？
Troy Taylor， the owner of the pizza restaurant， found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly， so they disturbed other customers． Some people said that this was unfair． Mr． Taylor explained his decision． He said that the restaurant was near a busy road， so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children． So he made up his mind to ban（禁止） children from his restaurant．
Others supported his decision， they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only．
