　　How can you hear your friends' voices when they are far away and you can't make a long－distance call? Besides the web camera system with your computer, we have a new high-tech way to solve the problem and ease your pain of missing them．

　　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 in 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 company 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 scan your picture 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 you can hear them whenever you want, only with the “talking picture” system．The system can play messages for up to 12 minutes．

　　“The pictures would be useful for those who hope to hear the voice of someone living far away,” said Mayumi Fuji, a spokeswoman for the company．“Grandparents, for example, longing to know about their grandchildren, would be happy to hear their voice when they see the picture,” Fuji said．

　　But it is troublesome to go to the company for taking a special picture first．And, it is much more expensive than using a telephone．The photo with barcodes costs between 17,040 and 17,990 yen(日元)(160 and 169 dollars)．The larger picture you want, the more you pay．

　　Now, just raise a finger, lonely people can have their loved ones speak out of pictures．But, whether the “talking picture” is practical or not, let's wait and see．

(1)

     Your voice is the only means of communicating over the telephone. Even so, watch your body language
and facial expressions-they affect the way you sound. If you are sleepy, for example, you often will sound
tired or breathless. To keep a healthy and bright tone (音调) in your voice, smile when talking on a phone.
     Don't answer the phone in a rush. Take a deep breath, and then breathe out slowly as you pick up the
receiver. You will sound more relaxed. If you recognize the other person' s voice, use his/her name on your
greeting. Use it again during the conversation and when parting. When making a difficult call, work out exactly what you wish to say. Stand while making the call-it will help you sound more confident.
     Get fairly quickly to the point-"The reason I' m calling is..."Try to drop the pitch (音高) of your voice at
the ends of sentences-it will help you be more sure about what you said.
     If you know somebody wants to talk a lot, make it clear at the start of the call that you have only a little
time. There are several ways of making a call short:" It ' s been lovely talking to you, but I really must go
now." or" I know you are quite busy, so I better go now."If all fails, try," My other line is ringing. Or"I think
there' s someone at the door."
     When leaving a message on someone s answering machine, speak clearly and slowly to allow the person to
take down any details as your message plays back. Many people feel uneasy with answering machines. Again,
form a picture of the other person in your mind, and you will sound more relaxed.
     With the increasing use of tele-communication and mobile phones, it has become of great importance that
we pay special attention to HOW and WHAT we speak on the phones.

1. In Paragraph 1, the author suggests paying attention to your _____.

A. voice
B. body language
C. tone
D. health

2. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The phone.
B. The receiver.
C. The name.
D. The greeting.

3. The author supports his idea in Paragraph 4 through _____ .

A. experiments
B. explanations
C. stories
D. examples

4. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Talking on a Phone
B. Keep Your Voice Sweet
C. Voice and Body Language
D. Body Language is Important

　　　　 Albert found lessons very difficult. His teacher would tap her pointer (教鞭) against the blackboard impatiently (不耐烦) while she waited 1 him to answer her questions. But Albert always had to think about many things before he 2 answer. After all, he would say to himself, there are 3 different things 4 about before you can say anything that is absolutely certain.

　　 When his teacher wasn't asking Albert a question, Albert would 5 a question to ask her. And often when he did, she would get red 6 the face and angry at Albert 7 thinking up questions she couldn't answer.

　　 The more Albert learned, 8 he found to think about. The more he thought about, 9 questions he thought of 10 .

　　 He knew that the earth, other planets, the moon and the sun are just a part of 11 we call the universe. He knew that the universe is also 12 all the stars we can see 13 our eyes and millions and millions more that we can see only 14 the largest telescopes and still more—we think—that 15 far away they can't be seen 16 . And he also knew 17 all these stars and our own bodies and everything 18 are made up of atoms (原子) so tiny they can't be seen even with the best microscope.

　　 He thought there must 19 some rules to 20 why everything in the universe, big and little, acts as it does. Why don't the stars 21 around in the sky bump (撞) into each other? 22 makes the tiny atoms stick together to form all the different things there are? Albert Einstein thought and thought 23 he believed he had some of the answers. And people started asking 24 questions because he had 25 for many things that scientists had been trying to figure out for many, many years.
