correct answer to each of the questions.
Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and
tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by birds or by humans on
foot or on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of information between
two places. The telegram and telephone set the stage for more modern means of communication. With the
invention of the cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile.
For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family
and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message. The definition of a cell phone is more
specific: it is a hand- held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small
special areas called cells.
Walkie - talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex
communication devices: They make it possible for
two people to talk to each other. Cell phones and walkie- talkies are different from regular phones because
they can be used in many different locations. A walkie- talkie is sometimes called a half- duplex
communication device because only one person can talk at a time. A cell phone is a full- duplex device
because it uses both frequencies at the same time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has
more than a thousand channels. A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals across a distance of
about a mile. A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles.
In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication.
Motorola and Bell Laboratories (now AT& T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication
device. Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper
made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT& T while walking down the streets of New York city.
People on the sidewalks gazed
at cooper in amazement. Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna-
Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds ( as compared to today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4
ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to
the general public. After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use. The early
cell phone and its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500. In 1977, AT & T
constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2, 000 customers. In 1981, a second

C. modern D. having defects

B. In 1981.
C. In 1983.

and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very
obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-
protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving
signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or
television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is
enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the
doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the
intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbor you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet,
desolate
area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from
approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided
to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows
provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe.
Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how
small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get
through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have
top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a
burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defense against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of
breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and,
particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinize
callers at your leisure.
When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are
genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
