It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper .It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city .Beyond the city walls, it ' s useless.

“ Little Smart, also”called “xiaolingtong”has always been compared to the

mobile phone. But in fact it is more like one of those cordless phone无线电话)used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across a whole city.

Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 20 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. Wha't s more, unlike mobile phones, theres'no fee for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.

But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality(质量).And there are not as many questio ns to pick up its sig nals as there are for

mobile.“Icouldn'treceive a phone call if I was on a bus”,said Li Ping, one of the “Little

Smart”users.“It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving”.

Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more easy to use. Messaging and

Internet even has a colour screen.

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks any where in the world? The sun was probably the world ' first clock” except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人)live. There, it 'dark most of the win ter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Eve n today, if you don 'have a clock, you still know that whe n the sun shi nes, its day and whe n it's dark, it's ni ght. The sun can also tell you if it'smorning, noon, or after noon. People who live near the sea can tell time from thdides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And the n it goes dow n and dow n for about six hours. The same thi ng happe ns aga in at ni ght. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.

In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or cha nges directi on or stops blow ing. In these places the wind can be the clock.

A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. Whe n the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take ano ther hour to go back aga in.
