         What has the telephone done to us or for us in the hundred years of its existence? A few effects suggest
    themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or fire from distant places. By
    joining with the lift to make possible the multi-story building or office building, it has made possible-for better
    or worse-the modem city. By bringing about a great leap in the speed and ease with which information moves
    from place to place, it has greatly sped up the rate of scientific and technological changes and growth in
    industry. Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened, if not killed, the ancient art of letter writing It has made living
    alone possible for persons with normal desires; by so doing, it has played a mile in one of the greatest social
    changes of this century, the breakup of the multi generational house-hold. It has made the war more efficient
    than before. Perhaps though not provably (可证实), it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of
    international misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps-again not probably-by
    magnifying and extending irrational (非理性的) personal disagreement based on voice contact, it has caused
    wars. Certainly it has extended the scope (范围) of human conflicts, since it fairly spreads the useful knowledge
    of scientists and the nonsense of the ignorant (无知者), the affection of the affectionate and the malice (恶意)
    of the malicious.
    1. What is the main idea of the passage?
    A. The telephone has helped to save people from illness and fire.

    C. The telephone has made the modem city neither better nor worse.
    D. The telephone has had positive as well as negative effects on us.

    A. has made letter writing an art
    B. has prevented wars by avoiding written communication
    C. has made the world different from what it was

    3. The author describes the telephone as fair because it _____.
    A. saves lives of people in distant places
    B. enables people to live alone if they want to
    C. spreads both love and ill will

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
