| In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23yearold son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to __1__ a different life. It was a transitional (过渡的) period in Daniel's life. I wanted to __2__ him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the __3__ time I had let such moments pass. When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, "What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked __4__ the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar __5__ was played out. I drove him to college.

Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those __8__ opportunities. How many times have I let such moments __9__? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what he has __10__ to me or what he might __11__ to face in the years that followed. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything. What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? __14__ as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always __13__ never hearing him put his __14__ into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so __15__ to tell a son something from the heart? My mouth turned __16__, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.

| TOKYO-At first glance, Japanese cellphones are the young's dream: ready for Internet and email, they double as credit cards, and even bodyfat calculators (计算器). However, despite years of competition in overseas markets, Japan's cellphone makers have little presence beyond the country's shores. "Japan is years ahead in any innovation. But it hasn't been able to get business out of it," said Gerhard Fasol, president of the Tokyobased IT consulting firm, Eurotechnology Japan. This year, Mr Natsuno, who developed a popular wireless Internet service called iMode, invited some of the best minds in the field to debate how Japanese cellphones can go global. Yet Japan's lack of global influence is all the more surprising because its cellphones set the pace in almost every industry innovation: email capabilities in 1999, camera phones in 2000, thirdgeneration networks in 2001, full music downloads in 2002, electronic payments in 2004 and digital TV in 2005. "The most amazing thing about Japan is that even the average person out there will have a superadvanced phone," said Mr Natsuno. "So we're asking, can't Japan build on that advantage?" Japan has 100 million users of advanced thirdgeneration smart phones, twice the number used in the United States, a much larger market. Many Japanese rely on their phones, not a PC, for Internet access. Indeed, Japanese makers thought they had positioned themselves to dominate the age of digital data. But Japanese cellphone makers were a little too clever. In the 1990s, they set a standard for the secondgeneration network that was refused everywhere else. Then Japan quickly adopted a thirdgeneration standard in 2001. However, it made Japanese phones too advanced for most markets. At a recent meeting of Mr Natsuno's group, the discussion turned to the cellphones themselves. Despite their advanced hardware, they often have ugly interfaces (界面), some participants said. "Because each cellphone model is designed with a customized user interface, development is timeconsuming and expensive," said Tetsuzo Matsumoto, senior executive vice president. "Japan's phones are all 'handmade' from scratch," he said. "That's_reaching_the_limit." |
