Section_ⅤProject[原文呈现]To phone or not to phone?In the USA, the Amish —a Christian①group —are famous because they drive carriages②instead of③cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators④，and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume⑤ the Amish must have religious⑥ reasons for⑦ their many rules, but this is not true. In truth⑧，whenever a new technology is introduced⑨，the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote⑩on whether they will accept it⑪. The Amish reject⑫cars because they like having tight⑬communities where everyone lives close together⑭. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity —they do not think it⑮is necessary and dislike dealing⑯with⑰strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company⑱.Since the Amish value⑲seeing each other face to face⑳，they oppose○21having telephones in their houses. However, in each community there is often a small building that has a telephone for emergencies○22.The telephone is very convenient for○23communication, and most people in the world today cannot live without it○24. However, maybe the Amish have a valid○25point. Which is more of a friend, someone youoften talk to over the phone or someone you often talk to face to face○26？And, if you need help, who can help you better, someone far away○27or someone in the room with you? There is something important about being together and sharing life that cannot be found over a telephone wire○28.[读文清障]①Christian/'krIstʃən/ adj.(信奉)基督教的n．基督徒a Christian group是the Amish的同位语。

The evolution of video and sound devicesEarly history of TVThe first public TV broadcasts were made in the USA in 1925. Later, in 1928, the first long-distance TV broadcast was made between the UK and the USA. Regular public broadcasting followed shortly afterwards, first beginning on 11 May 1928 in New York and on 20 August 1929 in London.Many different people contributed to the development of TV. Most early TV broadcasts were made using a system developed by John Logie Baird in the UK.However, his system was very primitive and had many drawbacks. An American, Philo Farnsworth, made important breakthroughs in the development of TV in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Modern TVs use many of the principles first discovered by Farnsworth.John Logie Baird constructed the first colour TV in 1928, but it was not until 1938 that the first colour TV programme was broadcast. It took more than two decades，though,until 1951,for regular colour TV broadcasts to begin in the USA.Regular colourTV broadcasts were delayed in the UK until 1967.However,within a short time nearly all TV broadcasts were made in colour,and within five years more colour TVs than black-and-white TVs were being used.The modern age: satellite TVSatellites were used to broadcast TV beginning in 1962. Satellites allow TV to be broadcast live over vast distances, with everyone receiving the same broadcast at the same time! They also make TV accessible to people who live far away from cities, and satellite dishes can often be seen distributed throughout the countrys and remote areas. Of course, only a small percentage of people own satellite di However, most people still benefit from satellite TV, as local TV companies broa the signals they get from satellite receivers to the population living nearby.Early history of sound recordersIt all began in 1877, when Thomas Edison made the first recording of a human voice on his invention, the record player. Early record players used round tubes to record on. However, in 1887 Emile Berliner, a German living in the USA, invented a record player that used discs as alternatives to tubes, and so the modern record player was born. The first record players had to be wound up by hand and only played records that were two minutes long. Times surely have changed!Sound and video recordersIn 1928, the first tape recorders used to copy sound were made in Germany. Most early recorders employed steel tape to record on, which made them heavy and difficult to use, or paper tape, which was easier to use but often broke. It was not until the early 1950s that most tape recorders began using plastic tape as they do today. Meanwhile, electrical components eventually became so small that, by the late 1960s, portable cassette players were developed, along with video recorders which were used by TV stations. By the late 1970s, video recorders small and cheap enough for home use were introduced.Sound and video go digitalIn 1982, the first CDs were made available. CDs are often used for storing and playing music because they have a much better sound quality than traditional records and cassettes. In 1993, the VCD was born, and in 1995, the DVD was invented. The DVD is now the standard for recording and playing back video.The futureWith the development of digital technology, sound and video can now be stored on a PC, on the Internet, or using some form of portable storage. This will soon make records, cassette recorders, CDs, DVDs and even TVs things of the past. Technology is now changing faster than most people can keep pace with. Who can foresee what the future will bring?视频和声音设备的发展电视的早期历史1925年，美国开始了第一次公共电视广播。
