It’s hard to believe that before 1985, people in Britain didn’t use mobile phones. That was the year when the first mobile phone company began operation in the UK, although in other parts of Europe mobiles had been used for several years.
Early mobiles were much larger than they are today. Some of them weighed about 5 kg and the owners had to pay several thousand pounds for them. By the beginning of the 1990s, companies in the UK had updated their mobile phones so they were more like the mobiles used all over Europe. Those phones weighed about 500g, and the batteries lasted longer,whereas before they had lasted for only one hour’s talk-time.
Nowadays, some of our mobiles weigh as little as 50g and have a talk-time of up to five hours and a battery life of up to 10 days. About 80% of UK adults now own a mobile phone, and there are now almost 50 million mobile phone users in the UK.
Nobody had ever expected mobile phones to become so popular. One huge surprise was the increase in the use of text messages. Twenty years ago, people didn’t hear of “texting”. Now, over one billion text messages are sent every month in the UK. People are also using their mobile phones as music centers, as personal organizers and to surf the Internet.
Mobile phones are developing all the time and people are predicting that soon nobody will want to leave his house without one in his pocket. Mobile phones will no longer be just useful, but necessary for people in the UK.

In recent weeks , small groups of young people appeared on downtown sidewalks in Changsha, Beijing and other cities , holding signs with the words "free hugs ,and offered embraces to any passer-by who would care for one. "
Calling themselves " the hug league" ,they said they were inspired an international news story of a similar type and intended to promote human contact in the face of growing alienation(疏远)in urban china.
We Chinese ,contrary to what is shown in our love movies and television shows , rarely run into each other"s arms and cry our hearts out .We are raised in a culture of emotional restraint(克制)。We mark our meetings and departures with a wave of hand and  a handshake of light touch . Not so long ago , even young lovers hugging in public places were considered rude.
But that doesn"t mean we are immune(免疫的)to the wonderful feeling of human tactility(触感)。I remember my mother was visibly moved when I hold her hand for the first time while walking her across a busy street in the U.S. The circumstance made it more natural .But cultures don"t evolve overnight ."It"s hard to get rid of the old belief that man and woman shouldn"t have any physical contact ,"some explained .In the late 1970s some feared that social dance would lead to sexual (侵扰).But the awkwardness was overcome as more and more people came to accept dancing with partners who were not their spouses (配偶)as a perfectly normal form of recreation.
In this environment of changing social customs manners , how people act could be the working many factors ,including their personality.Some offer bear hugs to everyone they know while others would shiver at the thought of medical personnel touching them with a stethoscope(听诊器)。The line between proper and improper often shifts(移动)with the sands of circumstances.
Offering hugs to strangers on the street is too radical(激进的)a step to have any meaningful impact on our customs.If anything , the huggers should start with their loved ones.
72.The writer think that __________
A free hug is not acceptable at present
B free hug is a proper custom in china
C offering hugs to strangers is nothing new in China
D man and woman should not have any physical contact
73.According to the passage , free hug_________
A was invented by some Chinese youths
B was introduced from other countries
C was intended to find lovers among the strangers
D was beneficial to a person"s emotional health
74.The words "contrary to " in Paragraph 3 mean"_______"
