Have you ever counted the number of digits(数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. Sometimes you     1     (find) it hard to remember your number. That’s because China     2     (have) the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

The 11 digits     3     (divide) into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider(提供者) you     4     (use). For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered(注册). And the last four digits are random(随机的) .

The main reason for     5     (use) 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once     6     (have) 10 numbers. But as our population     7     (grow) bigger and bigger, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person     8     (have) seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider     9     (reuse) a canceled number in three to six months. If you call a number that you     10     (not contact联系) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

A student wrote to me the other day. She said she was having a growing i    1     in listening to music, especially Taylor Swift. But she is also worried about spending so much time listening to music that she will have a h    2     time paying attention to her schoolwork

Listening to music is a great way to use only half of your brain. I enjoy music while washing my dishes or walking to the store. I love singing along while I drive as well. Somehow, our brains can sing and drive s    3     at the same time.

Reading is different. It requires all of your brain’s attention. Have you ever n    4     that people don’t read books while driving? Reading while driving is like asking you to d    5     quickly.   

So, if you’re trying to study, that requires r    6    . And you should pay all attention. But if you’re also listening to catchy music, Taylor Swift’s songs don’t ask for your attention- they grab(抢走) it.

I think you can see the solution to your problem: Don’t listen to music while studying. If you must listen to music, choose something without w    7    , like piano jazz. Play it s    8     in the background.

My favorite background “music” is white noise. Get yourself a w    9     noise app and admire the sound of rainfall while you read your books. Then, when you’ve finished studying, t    10     yourself to Taylor Swift.
