    　　Rome had the Forum; London has Speaker’s Corner．Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill．

    　　Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners．Just talk．

    　　Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “Talk to Me”, they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits．

    　　They don’t collect money．They don’t push religion．So what’s the point?

    　　“To see what happens, ”said Liz．“We simply enjoy life with open communication．”

    　　Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip．They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return．

    　　“It started as a crazy idea, ” Liz said．“We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories．People ________：their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything．”

    　　Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take．She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went．

    　　Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease．“That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said．“To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good, ”she explained．

    　　To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year．A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters．

    　　They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks．Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they’ll consider．

    　　When I asked my daughter which item she would keep：the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said,“the phone．”Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology．

    　　Point 1．The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic．My daughter comes home from school at 4∶00 p.m.and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day．If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

    　　Point 2．The mobile phone means that we are never alone．“The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnston．She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipto．Trapped inside, she managed to that brought the ambulance to her rescue．

    　　Point 3．The mobile removes our secrets．It allows the market manager of Hana Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales stalls all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went．

    　　Point 4．The telephone separates us．Antonella Bramante in Rome says,“We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window．It was easy to get his number．We were so near－but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!”

    　　Point 5．The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives．Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时)on chat lines(At least my daughter does．I wouldn't know what to talk about．)．We can talk across the world．We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any)while they're space walking．And, with the phone line booked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on the earth．

    阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先，请阅读以下世界古代奇观的简介：

    　　A.  The Great Wall was begun more than two thousand years ago.  It was built to keep out invaders.  It extends about six thousand seven hundred kilometers across northern China.  Today,  the Chinese government is working to repairparts of the wall and protect as much of it as possible.  The Great Wall of China is one of the largest building projects ever attempted.  It is also the only object built by people that can be seen from space.

    B.  The Coliseum in Rome,  Italy was built almost two thousand years ago.  The ancient Roman sports center could hold fifty thousand people who gathered there to watch public events.  Experts say it is one of the finest examples of Roman design and engineering.

    C.  The city of Machu Picchu in Peru includes some of the best stone works ever built.  The ancient Inca people built Machu Picchu high in the Andes Mountains,  northwest of the city of Cuzco.  Machu Picchu is about thirteen square kilometers.  Historians say it might have been one of the last places of safety for the Incas who were fleeing invaders from Spain.

    D.  India is famous for its temples and buildings.  The most famous is the Taj Mahal,  considered one of the most beautiful buildings ever built.  The fifth Mughal emperor,  Shah Jahan,  ordered it built in Agra in sixteen thirty-one.  He built it as a burial place in memory of his wife.  The Taj Mahal has tiny colorful stones inlaid in white marble.  The structure seems to change color during different times of the day and night.

    E.  Abu Simbel was built more than three thousand years ago.  It is about 280 kilometers south of Aswan on the western bank of the Nile River.  It took an army of workmen and artists more than thirty years to cut the huge temple into the face of a rock mountain.  In front of the main temple are four huge statues of Ramses the Second.  Each statue is about twenty meters high.

    F.  Stonehenge also belongs on a list of ancient wonders. It is a circle of huge stones in southeastern England.  Experts believe work began on Stonehenge about five thousand years ago.  We know very little about Stonehenge. We do not even know how these huge stones were moved to the area.  Much has been written about Stonehenge,  but experts say they still are not sure what it was used for.

    以下是旅行者的信息，请匹配他们计划参观的世界奇观。

    1.Mr.  Smith, who comes from Rome, Italy,  plans to visit Asia.  He hears about a beautiful building which tells a moving story about the love between an ancient ruler and his wife. ＿＿

    2.Li Hua, who has been to the Great Wall several times, plans to visit an ancient wonder in Europe which has as long a history as the Great Wall. ＿

    73.  Cindy, who comes from India, plans to visit an ancient temple on the bank of a famous river in Africa.  The temple, in front of which there were some huge statues,  is one of the greatest stone works ever built. ＿
