Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention． They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires．
（4） Even worse， Meucci never applied for a patent （专利） on his invention．Meanwhile， Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him．

About 65 years ago these people found that using strong radios was a possible way for families living
far away to communicate with each other．They decided they could use the radios for school．In this way，children could talk to each other like at school．（48）
The children each spent about 30 minutes a day on the radio．They talked to their teacher about their
work and difficulties．The teacher designed some exercises and tasks based on what they learned and posted them to the children．After finishing their work，the children sent it back to their teacher to mark．（49） He tried to visit each child twice each year．This was sometimes difficult．The journey was
very long and could be dangerous．In addition，the school held camps once a year．The children could
all meet each other and shared their learning experience．
（50） The government provides families with computers so that the children can use the Internet to talk to their teachers and classmates by e﹣mail now．The teachers enjoy their work very much because they get to know the children and their families very well．It is an interesting way to learn，don't you

（72） And some of them were a bit envious（嫉妒的）that he was getting so much attention．Before long，in that forest，there began appearing monkeys in shirts，a rabbit with a hat on，and even a little pig who wore a pair of glasses!
