In Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China, and later in Palestine and Greece, people began to make marks and pictures with sticks and sharp stones from which others, or they themselves later could see what they had thought.

These early records were the beginning of writing. The first writing was picture writing. Here are some early Chinese picture words. Can you see what they represent （代表）?

Later Chinese writing is less like pictures than the earlier writing was, but we can see the pictures in some of its words. For example：

In picture writing, each picture represents a word; you need a different picture or mark for each word. In present﹣day Chinese writing most of the marks are not pictures of anything, and a reader has to learn how the Chinese write about two thousand of these words before being able to read a newspaper.

【題目】

How do people find their ways? At first, people did it by looking at the sun, the moon and stars. Later, we started to use the compass（指南針）. Today, there are navigation satellite systems.

A navigation satellite system uses groups of satellites. They send information to a receiver, such as your smart phone. Then they can find where you are.

The earliest navigation system is the Global （全球的） Positioning System（GPS）of the United States. The US has put 24 satellites into space to make sure GPS can locate a person correctly and globally. Russia's GLONASS and European Union's Galileo can also work globally.

The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System （BDS）is China's homegrown navigation system. It was set up in 2000. With it, China became the third country to build a navigation system after the US and Russia.

BeiDou can find you wherever you are. It helps you go faster by finding shortcuts and using correct directions. When you are in trouble and call the police, they will know exactly where you are if you have a smart phone that uses BeiDou.

Today, there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above our head. And the system is able to offer open services to the Asia﹣Pacific area.

China plans to send more BeiDou 3 satellites into space. BeiDou﹣3's position accuracy（精確度） is less than five meters. By 2020, the BeiDou system will have 35 satellites and begin serving Globally.
