In the 13th and 14th centuries new inventions were made, such as the compass, paper, spect

acles, gunpowder, and, in the 15th century, the printing press. Some of them were first invented in China and then spread to Europe. By far the most far-reaching was the invention of printing.

In the Middle Ages, books were written and copied by hand. Copying was done mainly by monks and professional copyists. It was an arduous task to copy a whole book by hand. As a result, books were scarce and expensive. Many hand-written books (or manuscripts)were beautifully illuminated with pictures and other decorations hand-drawn and hand-colored. The primary purpose of illumination was not to clarify a text but to beautify it and call attention to the skill that had been lavished on its creation. Books were usually accumulated by monasteries, bishops, princes, and some well-to-do merchants. Since few people could read during the Middle Ages, there was small demand for books.

However, by the 13th century the thrust of intellectual life had passed to the universities. More people could read and more books were privately owned. As the Middle Ages progressed, kings and rich men became patrons to the artists, who produced richly illustrated books. By the 15th century, still more people could read, creating a bigger demand for books.

The desire for learning gave rise to a thirst for books that the copyists alone could not satisfy. A less laborious method of book production had to be found. In about 1450, Johann Gutenberg, a German, revolutionized printing by inventing the movable type. He produced the first printed book in the West — the Gutenberg Bible, and by the end of the 15th century there were 97 editions of the Bible in Europe. The invention of printing was one of the greatest achievements of men. It brought books and knowledge within reach of many and ushered the West from the dark Middle Ages into the Renaissance.

In the Middle Ages, the copying work of books was mainly done by______.

A．monks

B．intellectuals

C．artists

D．merchants

Radio and Television

Radio and television were major agents of social change in the 20th century. Radio was once the center for family entertainment and news and television enhanced this revolution by adding sight to sound. Both opened the windows to other lives, to remote areas of the world, and to history in the making. News coverage changed from early and late editions of newspapers to broadcast coverage from the scene. Play-by-play sports broadcasts and live concerts enhanced entertainment coverage. For many, the only cultural performances or sports events they would ever hear or see would come from the speakers or the screens in their living rooms. Each has engaged millions of people in the major historical events that have shaped the world.

If people could look at the sky and see how it is organized into frequency" bands used for different purposes, they would be amazed. Radio waves crisscross (十字形) the atmosphere at the speed of tight, delivering incredible amounts of information—navigational data, radio signals, television pictures—using devices for transmission and reception designed, built, and refined by a century of engineers.

Key figures in the late 1800s included Nikola Tesla, who developed the Tesla coil, and James Clerk Maxwell and Heinrich Hertz, who proved mathematically the possibility of transmitting electromagnetic signals between widely separated points. It was Guglielmo Marconi who was most responsible for taking the theories of radio waves out of the laboratory and applying them to practical devices. His "wireless" telegraph demonstrated its great potential for worldwide communication in 1901 by sending a signal—the letter "s"—in Morse code a distance of 2 000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Radio technology was just around the comer.

Immediate engineering challenges addressed the means of transmitting and receiving coded messages, and developing a device that could convert a high-frequency oscillating (振荡的) signal into an electric current capable of registering as sound. The first significant development was "the Edison effect", the discovery that the carbon filament (灯丝) in the electric light bulb could send out a stream of electrons to a nearby test electrode if it had a positive charge. In 1904, Sir John Ambrose Fleming of Britain took this one step further by developing the diode (二极管) which allowed electric current to be detected by a telephone receiver. Two years later, American Lee De Forest developed the triode (三极管), introducing a third electrode (the grid) between the filament and the plate. It could amplify a signal to make live voice broadcasting possible, and was quickly added to Marconi's wireless telegraph to produce the radio.

Radio development was prevented by restrictions placed on airwaves during World War I. Technical limitations were also a problem. Few people had receivers, and those that did had to wear headphones. Radio was seen by many as a hobby for telegraphy fans. It would take a great deal of engineering before the radio would become the unifying symbol of family entertainment and the medium for news that was its destiny.

In the mid-1920s, technical developments expanded transmission distances, radio stations were built across the country, and the performance and appearance of the radio were improved. With tuning circuits, capacitors, microphones, oscillators, and loudspeakers, the industry blossomed in just a decade. By the mid-1930s almost every American household had a radio. The appearance of the transistor in the 1950s completely transformed its size, style, and portability.

Both television and radar were logical byproducts of the radio. Almost 50 years before television became a reality, its fundamental principles had been independently developed in Europe, Russia, and the United States. John Baird in England and Charles Jenkins in the United States worked indepen

Rogets Thesaurus is a book, and a very famous book, too. If youve never heard of it, dont

worry. But once you know it, it is a friend for life. And dont worry about the title. Roget is the man who wrote it, and "thesaurus" is from a Greek word meaning "treasure". Rogets Thesaurus is not a book which you read from cover to cover. And it certainly isnt a book which fills you with excitement the moment you open it. But it is a book you keep coming back to year after year, again and again, if you are interested in ... words. It is a vast treasure house of information about words. Briefly, it works in the opposite way to a dictionary. When you use a dictionary you know the word, but you dont know what it means. You use a dictionary to find out the meaning of the word. When you use a thesaurus, or the Thesaurus, as there is only one, and that is Rogets Thesaurus, you know about what the word means, but you cant find exactly the word you want. So you look up a related word in the index at the back of the book, then turn to the group or category of words with that meaning, and, well ... if youre lucky, youll soon have found your missing word. Rogets Thesaurus was first published in 1852, and in the next 125 years, that is by 1977, had sold over thirty million copies. Roget himself was a most remarkable man. He was already seventy when he wrote the book, and had spent a most active life as a scientist, physician and engineer. He had made several discoveries, and had published an important report on Londons water supply, which at that time(1827)was very polluted. His thesaurus was a hobby, or a sideline—something to do in his retirement. Indeed, in 1852, it is doubtful if anyone realized just what an important book it was. There were only a thousand copies of the first edition. But it was soon reprinted, and by the time of his death, Roget, who lived to the age of ninety, had seen twenty-five editions of his work printed. And the book is still going strong today, a century and a quarter later. There is most probably a copy in your library. But if you use it, do so with care. Dont try to use all the words which Dr. Peter Mark Roget put into each of his categories. If you do that you may have to go back to the dictionary to find out what some of them mean. Question: This passage is most likely______.

A．a book review

B．an advertisement

C．an editorial

D．a special report

This weekend's Independence Day festivities in Washington, DC, when the National Mall is j

ammed for the traditional concert and fireworks extravaganza, is a boom time for flag dealers, refreshment stands and souvenir vendors. And it's Anthony Pitch's favorite time of year. He writes and sells a little paperback book that's a hit with Washington tourists. It's called-Exclusively Presidential Trivia, and it contains more than 650 brain-teasing questions and answers about U.S. chief executives.

Anthony pitch has written scholarly books on subjects like the burning of Washington by British troops in 1814. And he's finishing another serious book about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. But Mr. pitch, a native Englishman and former journalist in Africa and the United States, also publishes simpler tourist guidebooks and maps, leads tours of Washington and each year freshens his Exclusively Presidential Trivia book. Anthony Pitch says such trivia as the reason Herbert Hoover was left out of a 1938 series of U.S. postage stamps about former presidents seems, well, trivial- even worthless. But he says these little nuggets are popular with families this Independence Day weekend. They challenge the memory of older folks and can provoke an interest in history by children.

Followings are talks between Pitch and Landphair, a radio programme host.

Pitch:" I'm a voracious reader of subjects that fascinate me. The presidency fascinates me. History fascinates me. And so even when I'm doing my very serious research, I am able to extract from my deep research gems that I can put in later editions of the book."

Landphair:" All right, I'm going to give two or three examples. And I'm going to ask you to pause just a second before answering to give our listeners a chance to perhaps take a guess. Here's the first one: Now we mentioned Herbert Hoover earlier. He was the thirty-first president of the United States. He served in the late 1920s and early 1930s. He was born in the state of Iowa. And you ask in the book, 'Why is that significant？'"

Pitch: "Because Hoover was the first president born west of the Mississippi River. That's why I find trivia fascinating, because from that little question and answer, you can now enlarge it into a perspective of how long it took for a president to arise from that far west."

Landphair:" Let's try another one. How many U.S. state capitals are named after presidents？ And by the way, before you answer, I asked a colleague this question, and she guessed 40. It's not 40, is it？"

Pitch: "No, it isn't. The four cities that are state capitals named after presidents are Jefferson City, Missouri; Lincoln, Nebraska; Madison, Wisconsin; and Jackson, Mississippi."

Landphair: "Just four, and these are early presidents. We don't have any' Clintons' or' Bushes' yet."

Pitch:"Not yet, but there's such a strong movement afoot amongst partisan Republicans to name places after Ronald Reagan that you should get ready for a[Reagan] state capital."

Landphair: "Have you come up with any questions yet about President Bush？"

Pitch: "Yes. In the latest edition, I ask what his nickname was when he was at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. It's a very posh [exclusive] school. And he was nicknamed' Lip, ' because he wasn't afraid to voice his opinions on any subject!"

Anthony Pitch publishes three other trivia books besides the one called Exclusively Presidential Trivia. The others are about the White House, America's first ladies, and Washington, DC. Mr. Pitch's webpage is dcsightseeing com. By the way, if you're wondering about the answer to the first trivia item about President Hoover: He was left out of the series of stamps about ex-presidents in 1938, not because many people still blamed him for prolonging the Great Depression, but because the Postal Service had a strict role that no living person, not even a president, could appear on a U.S. po

A．High-ranking officials in US corporations.

B．Top-level US government officials like a defense secretary.

C．US Presidents.

D．Principals in US universities.
