6.After a terrible car accident,the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years,for he became both blind and deaf.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried several times to put an end to his life.His wife did her best to tend and comfort him.By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.
On a hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet.Unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning.The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree.He felt that he was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he didn't dare to believe that he saw a plough(犁)lying near the wall.When Mrs.Edwards came running up to him,she shouted for help.He saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10years.
The news of Robert's regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread.Many doctors came to prove the truth of the news.Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincing reasons,however.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident,perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.

Radio began as a point-to-point communication device.In 1919,Radio Corporation of American would charge a fee if you sent a message from one radio to another.Either the senders or the recipients pay the fee.The purpose was basically to undercut the telegraph,and they made their money(51)C,not by providing radio as a (52)B but by selling hardware.
In about 1922,radio (53)A into a broadcast mechanism.For broadcasting,in the simple sense,there was a(54)D and it broadcast,and lots of people could hear it.But broadcasting was seen as a way to drive business to the radio hardware makers.The stations were(55)C by people who made radios or (56)A,by churches and universities that wanted to get their(57)B out but weren't going to make money.
And there was a lot of stuff which sounds very (58)C today about how this medium was going to(59)D.And in the 20s,Radio Broadcast Magazine (60)A a $500prize for the best essay that answered the question:"Who is going to pay for broadcasting,and how?"The winner suggested a (61)B on radio listeners.Now,it sounds a little strange to us,but that's actually the British model.The BBC supports itself by a tax on TV and radio sets.
There was some discussion about(62)B,and Herbert Hoover,the Secretary of Commerce then,was strongly against this idea.He said it was (63)D that we should allow so great a possibility for service (64)C by advertising chatter.The Commerce Department was(65)A radio at the time.After the creation of national radio networks then the pressure-advertisers wanted to go on with it,people who owned the radio network wanted to sell ads,and that's how radio developed as an advertising medium.
