4 . Do you often dial others’ mobile phone number? Do you know China’s mobile phone has 11 digits. Why is this?

The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation (中国移动) and 188 is for China Unicom (中国联通). The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which area the number is registered (注册) in. And the last four digits are random (随机的).

The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there weren’t enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.

Eleven digits can be used to make billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight numbers to use.

What’s more, mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled (取消的) number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted 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 world’s shortest; they use seven digits.

1. The underlined word “digit” means “_______” in Chinese.

A．号码

C．Because Chinese people like having many phone numbers.

D．Because China has the largest population in the world.

4. Which country has the shortest phone numbers?

C．Canada.

D．Australia.

5. What’s the main idea of the text?
