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()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? Sopie 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. Fmchterman，one of AT 在 T labs’ possible first customers，said he wondered what the new technology might bring. “Just like you can’ t trust a photograph any more. ’’ he said，“you won’ t be able to trust a voice either.”

With the help of the speech software it is most possible____.

A.to improve a famous person’ s speech

B.to say what you want in another’ s voice

C.to make a speech much more easily

D.to help you to find a better job

If the speech software were widely used,____.A.people would no longer believe each other

B.it would not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous person

C.no radio or TV broadcasters would be needed

D.recording of a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court

According to the passage,you cari infer that____.A.the software will turn out to be an immediate success in the market

B.the government will forbid the sale of the software in the market

C.it’ s hard to decide whether the software will enjoy popularity

D.the software will soon prove tb be nothing but rubbish

er activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These”Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group. This is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’ s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors，however，point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits ( or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form. of exercise is very good for the circulatory system because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing.

A.encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
