Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated(沟通) and did things 2 mobile phones?
Take the post as an example. Before phones, 3 you wanted to stay in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter. When my mum was young, she 4 to do this with her "pen pal". A pen pal is someone you 5 to mainly through postal(邮寄的) mail. My mum 6 her pen pal every few months, and then, she would reply in the same way.
Now, try to imagine that you are at a place where there are no mobile phones. 7 could you keep in touch with others? My dad said long ago there used to be "message boards" at some places. If you needed to 8 a message for your friend, you had to stick it on that board for that person to read it! Nowadays, people use phones to send messages, which is much more convenient and faster.

Ⅱ. Read and complete the tasks.
In the near future, we may be able to taste food and drinks "online" before buying them. A new tool made by scientists at Ohio State University in the US makes it possible to share taste on the Internet, reported Science Daily.
When we eat or drink, our teeth and tongues break the food into little pieces. During this process, very small things called molecules(分子) come out of these pieces. The taste buds(味蕾) on our tongues catch these molecules and "tell" the brain about them. The brain then knows what flavours we're tasting.
The "e-Taste" tool has two main parts. The first part works like our tongues. It checks for five special chemicals in food or drinks. These chemicals give different flavours like sweet, sour and salty.
After getting this information, the first part can send it to the second part of the tool, even if it's in another city. The second part then mixes the five chemicals with water to make new liquids(液体). People can taste these flavours by drinking the liquids.
Tests of "e-Taste" showed that people could tell the difference between food like fried eggs and fish soup with about 87% success. It even worked when the tool's two parts were as far as over 500 kilometres apart in the study.
Scientists believe "e-Taste" can be used in many ways to improve online experiences. For example, it can help make online classes and gaming experiences more fun.
