18、o effective that he was almost hanged.

24、ldren who have run away from home. Young people can phone “Alive and Well” and leave a message for their parents. The call is answered by answering machines.

25、 children home. So children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.

26、iven. Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London. For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents.

31、slowly changing their political and economic structure. Their aim has been to replace the confusing and wasteful system of national currencies with a single, united economy. Now this process is entering its last period. In one years time, on 1 January 1999, member countries of the European Union (EU

32、) will link their economies together. Three years later, in 2002, their national currencies will be replaced by a single, EU-wild currency, the “Euro”.
