When Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication.Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has emerged: the mobile phone.
The modern mobile phone is a more complex version of the two-way radio.Traditional two-way radio was a very limited means of communication.As soon as the users moved out of range of each other’s broadcast area, the signal was lost.In the 1940s, researchers began experimenting with the idea of using a number of radio masts (天线杆)located around to pick up signals from two-way radios.A caller would always be within range of one of the masts; when he or she moved too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal.(Scientists referred to each mast’s reception area as being a separate "cell"; this is why in.many countries mobile phones are called "cell phones".)
The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper.As soon as his invention was completed,, he tested it by calling another scientist to announce his success.Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public.They have changed the way we do a lot of things.One powerful feature is the Short Message Service (SMS) or text message.It’s the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle.Going to be late? Send a text message! The text message has changed the way we write in English.The language construction became less strict.Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important when you’re sitting on the bus, hurriedly typing "Will B 15mm late-C U @ the bar.(I will be 15 minutes late to see you at the
bar.) Sorry!".
Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced.We have seen the instruction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access.
Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of telephone has progressed in less than 150 years.If he were around today, he might say: "That’s gr8(great)! But I’m busy rite now(I am very busy right now).Will call U2nite(I will call you tonight.)."

B

He was an old man who fished alone in a boat in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boys parents had told him that the old man was now definitely salao and he finally would be so. The boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff(鱼钩) and harpoon(鱼叉) and the sail that as rolled around the mast(桅杆). The sail was patched with flour bags and, rolled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.

The old man was very thin with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches(斑点) of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handing heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old expect his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.

“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the boat was pulled up. “I could go with you again. We’ve made some money.” The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him.

“No,” the old man said. “But we have. Haven’t we?

“Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer on the Terrance and then we’ll take the stuff home.”

“Why not?” said the old man, “between fisherman.”

A. the old man preferred to fish alone  B. the old man was poor

C. the boy’s parents ordered him to     D. the old man’s sail suggested a permanent defeat

57. After reading this passage, we may safely conclude that ________.

A. the old man was insistent and not afraid of failure

B. the boy’s papa had confidence in everything

C. the old man caught big fishes because he had some doubts about the old man

D. the boy obeyed his father because he had some doubts about the old man
