III)-Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions below. Getting In Touch Through The Ages

Nobody knows who wrote the first letter or when, but we know that 4,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt people carried letters by hand over hundreds of kilometers. Very few people could write, so there were special people, called scribes, who wrote letters for everyone else.
The first stamp didn’t appear until 1840 and it cost just one penny. Nowadays one of the original stamps cost €375. Letter writing was so popular in the 1840s that people delivered the post several times a day.
An American company - Remington and Sons - made the first typewriter in 1871. All the letters in the word 'typewriter' were on the top line of the keyboard so that salesmen could demonstrate the machine more easily. Amazingly, the letters are still in the same place on the modern computer keyboard!
In 1875, when Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated a fantastic new invention called the telephone, nobody was very interested in it. The first fax machine appeared at around the same time, but it was so enormous that no one wanted one - in fact, fax machine didn’t become popular for another hundred years.
Then there was the walkie-talkie, a small two-way radio first used by the US army in the 1930s. However, since they weighed around 13.5 kilos, the talking was perhaps easier than the walking! After World War Two, they became popular with police officers.
Nowadays, we can send messages and pictures around the world in a few seconds using computers and mobile phones. It is hard to believe that e-mail was only invented in 1971, and the first text message was sent in 1992. Today we send over a

billion text messages around the world every single day, and an incredible thirty-six billion e-mails.

6. 
   Millie is 14 years old and lives in Miami. She has 204 friends - and she makestwo or three more friends every week. About 20 of her friends also live in Miami. Some go to the same school, and others go to the same music clubs and sports centers. She often sees them. The others live in other cities and other countries: England, Canada, Japan … She never meets these friends, but she talks to them on the Internet. They are her “MySpace Friends”.
   

0. 
   Because of websites like MySpace, Yahoo, 360 and Bebo, people can makefriends online. These websites are very popular all over the world, especially with young people. Users have their own homepage. They give information about

themselves. They write letters for their webpage, show photos and give opinions.
They write about their favourite films, music and TV programmes.

0. 
   For many young people, a good homepage is an important part of their image.It says: “This is me! I have something to say. These things - and these people - are important in my life.” And these websites are also an easy way to talk to a lot of different people. That is why teenagers like these “friends” websites.
   

0. 
   But some people are worried that these websites aren't safe. For example, it isimpossible to know that the information on a homepage is true. Perhaps the 14-year- old girl you talk to online is really a 40-year-old man. So here is some advice.
   

0. 
   Keep your webpage private. (Only friends can see a private homepage.) Do notput photos of yourself on your homepage. Do not meet people that you only know because of the website. And finally, remember that online friends are fun, but they are not the same as real friends.
