traveled by word of mouth. this meant that information was slow to reach the public and that details changed as news spread from one person to the next. rrinted matter, such as news papers, made it possible for information to be gathered in a central office and for news to be written more accurately. in 1844 samuel morse made a system of sending coded messages through electric wires perfect, founding an early form of longdistance communication. the work of communications was developed rin 1858 though the work of julius von reuter, who made newspapers reach different countries by telegraphing. with each of these developments, the public wondered at the cleverness of the communication pioneers and asked, “what will they think of next？”“they” thought of plenty. alexander graham bell and the idea of passing speech by electrical impulses and invented the first telephone in 1876. the invention of the “wireless” by guglielmo marconi in 1895 made the way for modernday radio transmission. vk. zworykin worked on one of the first televisions in 1928.communications reached new heights when televisions were massproduced in the 1950s. in 1962 the first commuication satellite made people see live broadcast from anywhere in the world. underground and underwater cables also send on programs from one area to another. telecommunications and computer networking are of big advances of our times and mean even greater development to come.40the main idea of the passage is that _.ait is not easy to use modern ways of communicationsbso many people made achievements in developing the means of communicationscthe means of communications have gone through many stages before they are perfecteddthe development of history has lasted such a long time41which of the

mouthbwhen people see programmes at the time of performancescin the nineteenth centurydwhen the “wireless”was invented43telecommunications and computer networking _.amean there will be greater developmentbshow the 20th centurys means are the most perfectcmean modern society has developed from one area to anotherdshow peoples life can be better and bettercmental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress. personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks.some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. they often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. they belong to “type a” personality. studies suggest that these people often get stressrelated disorders. the “type b” personality is calmer. these people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. as a result, they are less affected by stress.studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are. however, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. american writer john gray became famous for his book, “men_are_from_mars，women_are_from_venus”he notes that men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress. for a man, the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. but a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her probelms.”experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing. exercise is one of the most effective stressreduction measures, as physical canges from exercise make you feel better. in addition, exercise can also improve the bodys defense system against disease.keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. and they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible.44according to the experts, _.apeople respond to stress quite differentlybpeople make the same response to stresscunlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easilydpersonality has nothing to do with how we experience stress45compared with “type a” personality, “type b” personality _.acauses more troublesbis less able to cope with different situationscis more easily affected by stressdtends to solve problems more peacefully46by saying “men are from mars, women are from venus”， john cray means that they _.aexperence emotions in a different waybcope with stress in a different waycsuffer from stress in a similar wayddevelop stress in the opposite way47if you want to reduce your stress, you can _.atake some exercisebkeep it to yourselfcremain silentdignore the stressful situationdon sundays my father always wore that black apronthe one

want you to have this, tommy. itll keep your clothes from getting wet.” and before i could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “thanks, son. your mother and i appreciate this.”with that he
