四、阅读。
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。
A|北师大附属实验校本经典题 Forty years ago, my grandparents wrote letters to their friends and family. Grandpa worked in the city and Grandma lived in the country, so they wrote to each other. It took one week to deliver the letter. When Grandma asked a question in her letter, it took her two weeks to get the answer! If there was anything urgent（紧急的）, they needed to send telegrams.
The telephone became popular in the early 1990s. But my dad's family did not have a telephone until 1998. Although it was much faster than writing letters, it was still inconvenient（不方便的）. Once Dad arrived home late because he helped a granny on his way. My grandparents were so worried about him because he could not call them and tell them what happened. This never happened again after my dad bought his first mobile phone in 2002.
My favourite communication tool is the mobile phone. I have used it since my thirteenth birthday. My parents and friends can find me wherever I am. It is very convenient, but at the same time it is easy to be interrupted（打扰） especially when I want to be alone. Sometimes I have headaches（头疼） after talking on the mobile phone for a long time.
