Smoke<br /> signals and tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letters, carried by<br /> birds or by humans on foot or on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger<br /> amounts of information between two places. The telegram and telephone set the stage for more<br /> 3<br /> <br /> modern means of communication. With the invention of the cellular phone, communication<br /> itself has become mobile.<br /> For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch<br /> with family and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message. The definition of a cell<br /> phone is more specific. It is a hand- held wireless communication device that sends and receives<br /> signals by way of small special areas called cells.<br /> Walkie-talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices. They make<br /> it possible for two people to talk to each other. Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different<br /> from regular phones because they can be used in many different locations. A walkie-talkie is<br /> sometimes called a half-duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a<br /> time. A cell phone is a full-duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same time. A<br /> walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has more than a thousand channels. A walkietalkie can transmit and receive signals across a distance of about a mile. A cell phone can<br /> transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles. In 1973, an electronic company called<br /> Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication. Motorola and Bell<br /> Laboratories (now AT&T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication device.<br /> Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973,<br /> Cooper made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT&T while walking down the streets<br /> of New York City. People on the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in amazement. Cooper's phone<br /> was called A Motorola Dyna-Tac. It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds (as compared to today's<br /> cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)<br /> After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone<br /> available to the general public. After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for<br /> commercial use. The early cell phone and its service were both expensive. The cell phone itself<br /> cost about $ 3,500. In 1977, AT&T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago<br /> with over 2,000 customers. In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in the<br /> Washington D.C. and Baltimore area. It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become<br /> available for general public use. Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone customers<br /> with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years.<br /> Question 36: What is the main idea of the passage?<br /> A.

Undergraduate courses with the numbers 100 or 200 are generally introductory<br /> courses appropriate for freshmen or sophomores, whereas courses with the numbers 300 or 400<br /> often have prerequisites and are often to juniors and seniors only. Courses with the numbers<br /> 800 or above are open only to graduate students. Certain graduate courses, generally those<br /> devoted to introductory material, are numbered 400 for undergraduate students who qualify to<br /> take them and 600 for graduate students. Courses designed for students seeking a professional<br /> degree carry a 500 number for undergraduate students and a 700 number for graduate students.<br /> Courses numbered 99 or below are special interest courses that do not carry academic credit. If<br /> students elect to take a special interest course, it will not count toward the number of hours<br /> needed to complete graduation requirements.<br /> Full-time undergraduate student is expected to take courses that total twelve to eighteen<br /> credit hours. A full-time graduate student is expected to take courses that total ten to sixteen<br /> credit hours. Student holding assistantships are expected to enroll for proportionately fewer<br /> hours. A part-time graduate may register for minimum of three credit hours. An overload, that<br /> is, more than the maximum number of hours, may be taken with the approval of an academic<br /> advisor. To register for an overload, students must submit the appropriate approval form when<br /> registering. Overloads above 24 hours will not be approved under any circumstances.<br /> (Source: Practice Exercises for the TOEFL iBT, by Pamela J.
