　　You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight．They hit one another hard．At the start they only fight with their fists(拳头)．But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs．And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below．He is dead!

　　Of course he isn't really dead．With any luck he isn't even hurt．Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals(专业人士)．They do this for a living．These men are called stuntmen(替身演员)．That is to say, they perform tricks．

　　There are two sides to their work．．They actually do most of the things you see on the screen．For example, they fall from a high building．However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫)．Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

　　But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training．Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing(时间测量)．For example, when he is "blown up"in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of th explosion(爆炸)just at the right moment．

　　Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives．They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed．A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖)a thousand feet high．His parachute failed to open, and he was killed．

　　In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only．Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action．For nowadays there are stunt-girls too!

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.
