The next time you try for a high-ranking post,you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending （推荐）phone call“made”by US President George W.Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Of course,neither of them could really do that for you—you would just“borrow”their voices. AT & T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life. The software,which turns printed text into speech,makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person's voice to say things that the person never actually said. Possible customers for the software,which is priced in the thousands of dollars,includes telephone call centers，companies that make software that reads digital（数字的）files aloud，and makers of automated voice devices（装置）.The advances raise several problems. Who，for example，owns the rights to a famous person’s voice？ Some experts even believe that new contracts（合同）will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses. And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud（假冒），would the synthesized（合成的）voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know？ Even Mr.Fruchterman,one of AT & T labs' possible first customers,said he wondered what the new technology might bring.“Just like you can’t trust photograph any more.”he said,“you won’t be able to trust a voice either.

1. If the speech software were widely used,______.

Apeople would no longer believe each other

Bit would not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous person

Cno radio or TV broadcasters would be needed

Drecording of a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court

Robert Kohout,39,was working outside his home last October when he heard a frightening noise.He turned round and saw Walter Graham's car sinking into 8 feet of water of the swimming pool a little distance away from his yard. Kohout immediately called to Graham’s wife,Evelyn, to telephone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help,who were at work inside the house.“There was no time for second thoughts,”said Reif,a farmer’s son.“The only thing to do was to get in the pool.” The car doors were locked.Graham，73，was unconscious（失去知觉），and his Mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the driver's side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done underwater. Finally—some four minutes after the car had fallen into the pool—the glass was broken. By then, Graham was floating at the top of the flooded passenger compartment( The three men pulled Graham out through the broken glass. He wasn't breathing and his heart stopped beating，so they performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.The rescue（急救）team arrived in no time.Doctors supplied him with advanced life support on the way to the hospital. “These people were getting to Graham through the glass,”said Dr.Jeff Messinger.“All three acted without regard for their own safety.”Added Evelyn Graham，“They were truly angels（天使）watching over us.

The sea is very big.Look at a map of the world.There is less land than sea.The sea covers three quarters of the world. The sea is very deep in some places. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometres deep.The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high.If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometres of water above it. If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt.Rivers,which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are less salty than other parts.There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty.Because it is very salty,swimmers cannot sink!Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down.There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are very small.It is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating them. The sea can be very cold.Divers,who dive deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the diver goes deeper, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him.Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal.

BThe sea gets its salt from rivers.
