28、 Northwest, United, and US Airways have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement to $70 from either $60 or $50.

But not many know about another talking device (equipment) h

33、e invented just four years later, in 1880. He called the device the photophone.“Photophone” comes form the Greek words for “l(fā)ight” and “sound”. The photophone did not use electricity to carry sound over wires between two people. Thats what a telephone does. Instead, the photophone used a beam of sun

34、light traveling through the air. With his invention, Bell could actually transmit (傳遞) human speech on a beam of light. To do so, he spoke close to a thin mirror that was reflecting sunlight. The vibrations (振動(dòng)) of his voice caused the mirror to vibrate, and the vibrating mirror caused the light to

35、vibrate. The vibrating light hit a light-sensitive cell in a receiver placed some distance away. The cell changed the light patterns into electrical signals. Earphones changed the signals back into sounds.Bell believed that his idea of talking on a beam of light would prove to be important. He often

36、 called the photophone his greatest invention. Even though the photophone depended on a source of energy that was not constantthe sunBell wasnt a bit discouraged. He felt sure that people would one day talk using beams of light.Two much more recent developments made Bells dream come true. In 1960, a

37、 scientist built the laser. A laser produces a highly concentrated beam of light. Shortly afterward, other scientists developed a new kind of optical fiber. The optical fiber is a glass thread. The new fiber could carry light beams long distancesas far as several miles.55. According to Bells own opi

38、nion, _is his greatest invention.A. photophone B. optical fiber C. telephone D. laser56. What does “That” refer to in the underlined sentence?A. transmitting human speech on a beam of lightB. using electricity to carry sound over wires between two peopleC. using a beam of sunlight traveling through

39、the air D. light and sound57. Which statement is TRUE about Bells invention of photophone?A. Earphones are used to change light into sounds. B. The photophone is based on the invention of the telephone. C. The photophone depends on a constant source of energy. D. The laser and the optical fiber are

40、helpful for Bells invention.58. This passage is mainly about _.A. how to use light to carry sound B. what the telephone isC. what the photophone is D. how to use electricity to carry soundC It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fac

41、t, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.One day, over the phone, his mother told him t

42、hat Mr. Belser died the night before and the funeral would be on Wednesday.“Oh, its been so long since I thought of him. Im sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didnt forget you. Every time I saw him hed ask how you were doing. Hed recall about the many days you spen

43、t over his side of the fence as he put it,” Mom told him.“I love that old house he lived in. Hes the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldnt be in this business if it werent for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important Mom, Ill be there for the funeral,” Jack said.Busy

44、 as he was, he kept his word. Mr. Belsers funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. S

45、uddenly Jack stopped. “The box is gone,” he said. “What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All hed ever tell me was the thing I value most”, Jack said.“Now, Ill never know what was so valuable to

46、 him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package from Mr. Harold Belser on his desk. Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. “Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. Its the thing I valued most in my l

47、ife.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, thanks for your time!

48、 Harold Belser.”“Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most” Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked. “I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.59. Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch

49、? A. Because he thought he had to keep his word. B. Because he had no children or relatives. C. Because he was grateful for Jacks time with him. D.

51、memories of their time together. B. Mr. Belser often asked how Jack was doing. C. Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser. D. Jack thought Mr. Belser died years ago.62. What would be the best title for this passage? A. What He Valued Most B. An Old Gold Watch C. The

52、Good Old Times D. The Lost Childhood DaysD Boys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helpe

53、d develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teach

54、ers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor less

55、ons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “ha
