  If you have a watch, don’t repair it!

  I tried to stop him, tried to   7   him understand that my watch kept perfect time, but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.

  My beautiful watch began to gain time.It   8   faster and faster day by day.By the end of the second month it   9   all the clocks and watches of the town far behind.

  What did I have to do? To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated.I expected him to regulate the watch immediately   10   he asked me to come in a week’s time.When at last I took my watch from him it began to   11   down.And I began to be late for trains, business appointments and even missed my dinners.

  Now I went to   12   watchmaker.While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he   13   it to pieces and said that he could finish this work   14   three or four days.I could do nothing but   15  .That time my watch went for half a day and then stopped.

  So I kept   16   my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable period of time.

  And as a result of it the cleverest man in the world could not   17   the time by my watch.The thing was getting   18  .My watch had   19   two hundred dollars originally but I paid for repairs more than two hundred.At last I decided to buy   20   watch, which I did.

   “BANG”the door caused a reverberation.“Never set foot in this house again!”shouted father.With tears weiling(涌出)up in my eyes,I rushed out of the hofase and ran along the street.

    A young father who held a child in his arlzis walked past rile.I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space:happy and harmonious(和谐)

    But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old.We are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

    1 wandered the street,without a destination in my n'nnd.My heart was frozen oil this hot summer night.As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people m the streets,until I had only streets to keep me company When I finally reached the high rise apartment block in which I livegt,I saw that the light was still on.

     I thought to myself,“Is father waiting for rile.or is he still angry with me?”

    In fact,it was nothing.Perhaps,Dad was throwing some of his old stamps.Perhaps he thought they were useless.I never had th,e courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.

    All the lights were off except father’S

    Dad was always 1ike this.Maybe he didn’t know bow to express himself.After shouting at me,he never showed any mercy or regret After an argument he will creep(蹑手蹑脚)up in my sleep and then tuck rile underneath the covers

    This was how he always was.Fie has been a leader for So long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

    The fight was still oil With the key in hand,1 was as nervous as 1 had ever been.At last,I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.I suddenly realized that the iron door that l had imagined between us did not exist at all Love-it is second to none.

    C.a shake D.a sound forced back

One of the most important inventions is the invention of the telephone. The idea behind the telephone is simple. a system which changes sound into a series of electrical impulses of differing frequencies (频率), and then reverses this procedure to recreate the sound.

As early as 1831, Mickael Faraday proved that vibrations (震动) of metal could be changed into electrical impulses. This was the basic principle of the telephone, but no one made us of such technology until 1861, when German inventor, Johann Reis, successfully built some equipment that changed sound to electricity and back again. The equipment had built some equipment that changed sound to electricity and back again. The equipment had many flaws, unable to transmit many frequencies and therefore was never fully developed.

Two men in the United States Elisa Gray and Alexander Graham Bell (a Scottish inventor), both worked hard to create what would be known as the telephone almost at the same time, and amazingly both filed for a patent within hours of one another, Bell beating his rival by merely two hours on February 14 th, 1876.

The first comprehensible telephone conversation was said to have taken place between Bell and his assistant, who was sitting in another room. Bell said, “Come here, Watson, I want you”, which Watson successful heard via the receiver and the invention of the telephone was complete. The Bell Telephone Company (AT&T) was soon established and grew to be the largest telephone company in existence.

The following year, in 1877, the first telephone system was put in place in Hartford, Connecticut, while the first exchange linking two cities was established between Boston and New York in 1883. London hosted the first exchange put into practice outside the US in 1879.

The invention of the telephone is a hot topic within the inventor circle. Many believe it to be Alexander Grabam Bell, while others believe it to be Antonio Meucci, Philip Reis, or Elisha Gray.
