Despite the cost of a letter, it is often the most economical (节俭的) way to negotiate (商定) business. You can’t talk much by along distance call during business hours of transmit (发射) much in a telex (打字电报) for the cost of a letter. But for that money you can put your message in a letter and send it anywhere in the country and almost anywhere in the world.
Even if you did talk to another person, you do not have a written record, as you do if you follow the almost universal business practice of making a copy of your letter. Because a letter and its answer can make a written contract (合同), letters often replace (代替) personal calls and telephone calls even when the two parties are in the same city.
Telex, teletype (电传打字通信), and facsimile transmission (传真发送) provide written records of communications and have the added advantage of being virtually (实质上) immediate, though only people with access (接近) to the systems can receive messages. But their cost makes them impractical unless a company can make heavy use of them. This fact generally restricts (限制) their use to large organizations which have numerous locations (场所). Electronic messages without a printed copy have the same disadvantages as telephone calls, of course.
Still another advantage of a written communication is that both the writer and the reader can handle it at their most convenient times. Moreover, the reader usually gives it full attention without raising partially - considered objections and without interruption, a decided (明显的) psychological advantage.

[ ]

[ ]
A.telephone calls ale expensive
B.telephone calls ale not quick

[ ]
A.they are not economical

Early in the development of agriculture men discovered how to make alcoholic (酒精的) drinks from grapes and com. The ancient Egyptians drank both wine and beer, and the Greeks carried on a lively trade in wine throughout the Mediter ranean.The vines of grapes are all of a single species (物种). Vitis vinifera, although there are hundreds of varieties adapted to different soils and climates.
Wine is the fermented (发酵的) juice of fresh grapes. The juice of the wine grape contains sugar, and growths of yeast (酵母) form on the outside of the grape skins. In wine making, the grapes are crushed in a wine press and the yeast converts (改变)the sugar to alcohol, when there is no air present, by a process(处理)called fermentation. Red wine is made from dark grapes, and white wine from white grapes or from dark grapes whose skins have been removed from the wine press at an early stage. The most famous wine-growing countries are France, Germany and Italy. Wine was made in England in the Middle Ages, but the climate is not really suitable for grapevines. Wines must be drunk quickly once they are opened, otherwise bacteria (细菌) will use the air to convert the alcohol to vinegar. The bacteria are killed by a higher alcohol content than is found in wine and that is why sherry and port, the specialties (特制品) of Spain and Portugal, are fortified (加度) by the addition of spirits to make them last longer.
Beer is made from barley (大麦) grains which is fermented with yeast to produce alcohol; hops are added for flavour (特别的味道) .Ale, the most common drink in England in the Middle Ages, was also made from barley, but without hops, the ale of today is merely a type of beer. In Japan beer is made from rice.
Spirits have a higher alcoholic content than beer and wine and are made by distillation (蒸馏) from a base or grain or some other vegetables. Gin and vodka can be distilled from avariety of ingredients (原料), including potatoes; Scotch whisky is obtained from a base of fermented barley, and brandy form the distillation of wine. Cider is made from apples. South American Indians make alcoholic drinks from cactus leaves and the shoots of certain palm trees.
1.The “press” ( Sentence 3, Para. 2) is most probably ________.
[ ]
A.a machine for making wine
B.a container for changing the sugar to alcohol
C.a device for crushing grapes
D.a process called fermentation
2.From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.
[ ]
A.red wine and white wine are made from grapes with skins
B.wine was first made in England in the Middle Ages
C.wines must be drunk quickly once they were opened because they are made by fermentation
D.wines can last longer by adding strong alcohol because bacteria are killed
3.According to the author, spirits ________.
[ ]
A.are made by fermentation
B.are all made from grains, potatoes and apples
C.are strong alcoholic drinks
D.are getting popular in South America.
4.Which of the following statements is true?
