Although Marco Polo was young, he was very clever and could speak some foreign languages. The Emperor was impressed by him. He asked Marco Polo to serve in his court (宫廷) and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.Marco Polo was amazed by the beautiful China. He was impressed by Beijing and the Emperors Palace, especially the Summer Palace which he described as “The greatest palace that ever was.” The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so large that it could easily seat 6,000 people for dinner.There were inventions and developments in China which were not used in Europe at that time. He was puzzled (困惑的) by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat. The black stones were coal, but Marco Polo had never seen coal before!In 1295, after 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. He was then a very wealthy man. A writer wrote down the stories that Marco Polo told him in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo.Although people enjoyed reading the book, many of them thought that Marco Polos stories about China were too fantastic to be true.

So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers, according to t
