He has been called the “Father of American Scholarship and Education.” His “ BlueBacked Speller” books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children. But how much do you know about him beyond that?At the age of 16，Noah Webster began attending Yale College. Unfortunately，he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War，and，because of food shortages，many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury，Connecticut. Later，he served in the army.Having graduated from Yale in 1778，Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree. He had to teach school in order to pay for his education. He set up many small schools that didnt survive，but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn，like most teachers did，he rewarded them. He earned his law degree in 1781，but did not practice law until 1789.Once he started he found the law was not to his liking.Webster did not have much money. In 1793，Alexander Hamilton lent him $ 1500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper. In December，he founded New Yorks first daily newspaper，American Minerva，and edited it for four years. For decades，he published textbooks，political essays，a report on some diseases，and newspaper articles for his party.

Technologies such as PC fax programs and LAN fax servers(局域网传真服务器) have been used to improve fax communications. The latest computer-based technologies are new mechanisms(机制) which use IP(Internet Protocol, 因特网协议) to send faxes, that is, IP fax.Traditional fax has a fairly simple usage model. First, the user inserts a document into the fax machine, enters the destination fax number and presses the start button on the machine. The sending machine dials the receiving fax machine. If it connects, the sending machine scans the documents and sends it over the public switched telephone network(PSTN, 公共电话交换网) to the receiving machine. At the same time, the receiving machine receives the document and then prints it.In IP fax system there are two basic transmission modes: store-and-forward mode and real-time mode. Store-and-forward mode has been widely used. In this mode, the entire document is sent to a network-based server that stores it and then sends it to the destination. Real-time IP faxing is similar to traditional fax. Real-time mode allows two fax machines to directly communicate through a proper standard.IP fax enables a fax document to be sent from one person to another. A fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax. IP fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive faxes. This would enable users to receive faxes anywhere, anytime with an internet fax address.11. The passage deals mainly with _.A. PC faxB. IP faxC. information technologyD. new machines12.
