9．For centuries，the only form of written correspondence（通信）was the letter．Letters were，and are，sent by some form of postal service，the history of which goes back a long way．Indeed，the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000BC，as did the Chinese a thousand years later．
Of course，modern postal services now are much more developed and faster，depending as they do on cars and planes for delivery．Yet they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents（紧急文件）and letters．
The invention of the fax（传真）machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more．When you send a fax，you are sending a copy of a piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service．It was not until the early 1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax documents to each other．
The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent，but，as a way of fast correspondence，it has been largely taken the place of by email，Email is used to describe messages sent form one computer user to another．
There are advantages and disadvantages with emails．If you send someone an email，then he will receive it extremely quickly．Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned．
However，if you write something by email，which you might later regret，and send it immediately，there is no chance for second thoughts．At least，if you are posting a letter you have to address and seal（封）the envelope and take it to the post box．There is plenty of time to change your mind．The message is think before you email!

19．You must have written your research paper，your personal essay，your book review-whatever your school class requires．You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words．（36）C
But is it really done？Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision．（37）G
Revision of writing is a necessary skill for students．The classroom is a good place to practice patience，concentration and listening．There are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way．You should put away your paper after you have written a first version，or draft．Wait several hours，maybe overnight，before working on it more．（38）DNot only are you refreshed，but you're looking at things through different eyes．That's what revision literally means-to see again through different eyes．
Following a four-step process may help you with your paper．The first step in the process is invention．It includes forming many questions about your subject．It is called"question-storming"．（39）BThen comes the revision period．Take your time to read what you've written，to think about it，and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now，as a kind of new person looking at it with a reader's eyeglasses rather than a writer's．The fourth step is called"publication"．（40）E In a sense，anytime you turn it over to another person，that's publication．

10．For some people，music is no fun at all．About 4% of the population is what scientists call"amusic"．People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes．Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs．
As a result，songs sound like noise to an amusic．Many amuics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other．Life can be hard for amusics．In fact，most people cannot understand what it feel like being amusic．Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful．That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music．However，this can result in social loneliness．"I used to hate parties，"says Margaret，a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic．By studying people like Margaret，scientists are finally learning how to identify（辨别） this unusual condition．
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different for those of people who can enjoy music．The difference is complex（复杂的），and it is not connected with poor hearing．Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well．They also have no problems understanding common speech．Scientists compare amusics to people who just can't see certain colors．
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed（诊断）．For years，Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem．Now she knows that she is not alone．That makes it easier for her to explain．"When people invite me to a concert，I just say"No，thanks．I'm amusic．'"says Margret．"I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy．"
