Michael went back to Fullerton, his home town .His visit to Fullerton was very special to him.① He was born there, he grew up there．But he hadn't been back there since he finished high school．
He went to places he hadn't been to for many years. He walked through the park and remembered the days he had walked through that same park with his friends．He passed by the field where he and his friends had played baseball every day after school. And he stood in front of the movie theater and thought about all the Saturday afternoons he had spent there，watching his favorite movie heroes and eating popcorn.
②他做了已经很久没有做的事情。He had some home-made ice cream at the ice cream shop. He rode on the merry-go-round in the park，and he went fishing at the lake．For a little while，he felt like a kid again．
He saw people he hadn't seen in years．He visited several of his old neighbors．He said hello to the owners of the candy store near his house．And he also went to see Mrs. Riley, his tenth-grade science teacher．
Michael's trip back to Fullerton was a very nostalgic (怀旧的)experience for him．Going back to Fullerton brought back many memories of days gone by．

Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.1.In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognised(认定) as the inventor a few years ago. Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time?
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment with electricity. 2.When two places were connected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk.
In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 3.To solve this problem, he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other conveniently.
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.
In 2002, more than a century after Meucci's death, his work was finally recognised by the government. 5.
A. He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables.
B. However, he wasn' t the first person to think of the idea.
C. Unfortunately, only a few people attended this talk.
D. He will now be known all over the world as the telephone's inventor.
E. He needed to keep in touch with her at all times.
