“Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled  masses yearning to breathe free…

Send these, the homeless,…to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

The Stature of Liberty, with those immigrant-welcoming words by writer Emma Lazarus engraved(刻)upon it, turns 125 Friday and begins carrying the torch for technology.

Lady Liberty, whose real given name is “Liberty Enlightening the World,”will get webcameras placed around her torch, showing live vistas(远景) of the New York City skyline and New York Harbor, her torchand the view looking down. “You don’t have to be afraid of her crown, face and historic Fort Wood all from your computer or smartphone,” said David Luchsinger. Jane Ahern, the spokeswoman, says visitors can even see themselves at the statue’s base via webcamera, or tell mom and dad back home to look for them.

Go to nps.gov/stli to join in the birthday celebration Freday when the five webcameras are due to be switched on. Also on schedule:125 immigrants are due to be sworn in, Broadway stars will be present and actress Sigourney Weaver has been tapped to read the Lazarus poem. The public can try to attend the festivities by taking a ferry. You can also take an e-tour of Lady Liberty online.

The statue, a gift to the US from the people of France, has become an international symbol fo democracy and freedom. After 9.11, it was closed for security reasons. The pedestal(基座) reopened in 2004, and the statue began readmitting visitors in 2009.

The birthday ceremony is also a temporary farewell. The statue is due to close Saturday for uop to a year so that new stairways and elevators can be istalled among other improvements. However, Liberty Island will remain open. Ahern says 86% of visitors to the island never step inside the Statue of Liberty.

67. Via webcamera, vistors to the Statue can probably see the following EXCEPT  .

A. Lady Liberty

B. Fort Wood

C. Themselves

D. Their parents at home

68. The third paragraph mainly tells us about  .

A. Lady Liberty’s birthday celebration

B. Broadways stars’ performances

C. an open ceremony for webcameras

D. an activety only for visitors online

69. The underlined word “tapped” can be replaced by  .

A. striken

B. selected

C. touched

D. monitored

70. What will happen immediately after the celebration?

A. Lady Liberty will close for up to a year.

B. The Statue of Liberty will remain open.

C. Some improvements will be done to the Statue.

D. Most visitors to the island will step into the Statue.

  Silence is unnatural to map. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between be does all he can to make a noise in the world, and be fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If be is introduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards him self as a failure ,a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox(喋喋不休的人).He knows that ninety nine percent fo human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure(蜡塑人像).

  The aim of conversation is not. For the most part, to communicate ideas ; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admirted, different qualitics. of buzz;there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made bu a mosquito(蚊子).But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing,forlunately,is pleasnnt to the ear,and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take pert in the buzzing with his neighbors.

  Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content it they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time. they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists.

  The Japanese company Combiwith created a system-“talking picture”.It makes people in pictures speak!

  The“talking picture”has a special pen.It is actually a pen-shaped scanner.It can scan information yhin special-made pictures.A connected player will then play the information out loud.

  First, you need to take a picture and record what you want to say with the company.The will then make special barcodes(条形码)onto your picture(you can’t see those codes).Those codes are your voice and your words.When you hold up the pen to scna your piture with barcodes.a player connected to the pen will start to play.It plays things you’ve recorded.That way the invention makes the“you”in the picture speak!

  Do you want your friends and families talking out of pictures?Have them make pictures like that, and yu can hear them whernever you want, only with the“talking picture”system.The systm can play messages fo rup to 12minutes.
