听第一篇短文，回答第13—15小题，完成信息记录表。

Life in the past was different from what it is now. There was only a big old radio in my family house. In the morning, my grandpa listened to the news on it. I often listened to English on it. But now, my grandpa has a new radio. It's small and he can put it in his pocket when he goes out. I have a big computer to learn English and download popular songs.

听第二篇短文，回答第16—20小题。

Now, you want to know about my life in the past, right? Let me tell you. When I was a boy, things were different. I had to get up at six every morning. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister. It was two kilometres from my home to school. There was a bus, but we didn't have money. And we had to go to bed at nine o'clock every night. We couldn't watch TV because there wasn't any. On Sundays we had to help our parents do the housework. But it wasn't all that bad. We had some good times. We could go out and our parents didn't have to worry about us. There weren't so many cars on the roads then. So the streets were safe to play in. And the rivers were so clean that we could see the fish in them.
