31、riend. And after I had read out a little test piece, he said, “Thats fine, wonderful, your voice is perfect, lively, wonderful.” Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London, and both were “excellent” and “just ri

32、ght”, and I began to consider a job in radio.To be honest, I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience. Across the room in the Hamburg News Agency where we both worked, a friend named Peter Turner called to me, “I say, Mike, a man on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in Engli

33、sh, and I m booked up. Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test?” I did, and they said, “Perfect, lovely, wonderful, ” Would I come round?It was after reading their passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel (元音) pronunciations were not altogether Kings English,

34、or even Prince Philips, there was a larger silence than usual, then the voice said: “Fine, lovely, but you said the word castle with a short a. Could we have the passage again please, but this time say castle.”This was easy. But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation.“Its my northern

35、English accent,” I said, angry, because I had to apologize for it.“Oh, I seebut Mike, well have to get it right, Im afraid. The recording is for teaching English to German schoolchildren, and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools.”I read the passage againand againand again. But

36、 of course you cannot change the pronunciation of a lifetime in an hour. The studio men were in the state of having lost hope and underlined the vowels which caused me to feel angry, so that Id remember them. Few, really. But because I had to concentrate (集中) on them, I made a lot of mistakes in my

37、reading. Everyone got somewhat irritable (easily made angry), so we all went out for a beer.64Broadcasting did not make Mike nervous .Aalthough he had never done any before Bbecaues he worked in a news agencyCbecause he was used to talking on the phone Dalthough the passages were long65What happened

BHe was trying to do the recording in an hour.CHe was trying hard to

40、 get certain sounds right. DHe could not learn so many new sounds.DCrossroads InternationalHow does Crossroads work?Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesnt want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena (福利院) i

41、n Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.Who do we help?The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets (预算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They cant

42、get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resourc

43、e we have in stock.How do we operate?Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated (捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even

44、 our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.Those that donate goods and services:FactoriesManufacturersHospitalsHotelsEducational InstitutionsHouseholdersTransport CompaniesOfficesOther CharitiesOne resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and t

45、here is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.What can I do?We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories, some of the ti

51、s rather like the human eye.Both the eye and the camera have a lens（镜头）,and both produce a picture on a screen.In each case the picture is made up of millions of spots of light.Let us see how the eye works.When we look at an object-a person,a house,or whatever it may be-we do not see all the details

52、 of the object in one piece.We imaginge what we do,but this is not the case.In fact,the eye builds up the picture for us in our brain,which controls our sight,in millions of separate parts,and, although we do not realize it,all these details are seen separately.This is what happens when we look at s

53、omething.Beams of light of different degrees of intensity（强度）,reflected from all parts of the object,strike the lens of the eye.The lens then gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses them on to a lightsensitive plate-the retina（视网膜）at the back of the eyeball .In this way an i

54、mage of the object is produced on the retina in the form of a pattern of lights.The retina contains millions of minute light-sensitive elements,each of which is separately connected to the brain by a tiny fibre in the optic nerve.These nerve fibres,working independently,pick out minute details from

55、the image on the retina and turn the small spots of light into nerve impulses（冲击）of different strengths.They then transmit these impulses to the brain.They do this all at the same time.All the details of the image are fed to the brain,and, as we have taught our brain to add them together correctly,we see a clear picture of the object as a whole.Television,which means vision at a distance,operates on a simi
