they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.

In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums(鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.

In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions .representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.

Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions are numbered 46 through 50. （2＇×5 = 10＇）

In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span the gap. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and gone on to defeat the English. … Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions？Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so that things will go right next time?

Second, is the goal you?re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn?t be doing anyway.

The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it?s part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can?t win them all.”

36. This passage deals with two sides of failure. In Paragraph 1 the author talks mainly about_____ .
