It is the lightbulb or the Internet? Many people say that it is the printing press, a machine that allows us to print copies or books and documents. But why is the printing press so important?Before the printing press, books were copied by hand. Ancient Roman book publisher sometimes sold as many as 5, 000 copies of a book that had been copied by slaves. But copying a book took so much time and was so expensive that often only a few copies of each book were made. As a result, usually only a small percentage of the population learned to read and owned books. In 1450, a goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg in Germany invented the modem printing press. The impact of his machine is sometimes compared to the invention of the Internet. Although ancient Chinese people invented paper in 105 AD and used woodblock printing before 200 AD, Gutenberg's printing press was easy to use with languages that had alphabetic scripts. After 1450, thousands of copies of a popular book or newspaper could be made quickly and cheaply. Books and newspapers with ideas and images from all over the world went into the market for the wide public. Knowledge is power. Reading has brought about amazing changes in science, technology and politics. We have learned how to create wealth and even travel to far-away worlds. The computer, cellphone, and Internet have grown, because billions of powerful readers were created by the printing press. From 1450 on, more and more people have become readers. These billions of readers are powerful, and they help the world to make progress at a fast speed. 29      . Not many people read in ancient Rome because they had ___. A. few books to read B. little time to readC. no money for books D. no interest in books30      . The modem printing press is sometimes compared to the Internet due to its ___.A. low cost B. comm on use C. great influence D. rapid development31  l. What is mainly discussed about the printing press in the last two paragraphs?A. The progress B. The contribution C. The future D. The functionCNavy officer Allen Parton suffered a serious head injury while on duty in the Gulf War. It left him in a wheelchair, unable to talk, and he lost half of his life's memories. He couldn't remember his children's first steps, their first days at school, and their being born. Allen didn't even recognize his children. And he lost the ability to feel any emotion. He had two attempts at killing himself in the process of recovery. But all changed when coming across a dog named Endal, who failed his training to be an assistance dog and needed a home. Endal saw something on the floor by Allen's wheelchair, ran across the training centre, picked it up and put it in Allen's lap. He wanted a treat, a reward, praise, anything, but he got no reaction. Then he ran over to the mock-up supermarket, took a tin off the shelf, put it in Allen's lap. Surprisingly, that made Allen's brain switch on and he smiled for the first time in a long time. And it was the start of their relationship. Endal became his 24-hour companion, helping with every practical aspect of his life. Then one night, which showed the dog's devotion, Allen and Endal were both hit by a car. Although Allen had been knocked unconscious out of the wheelchair and Endal had been hurt by the vehicle as well, he got up, pulled Allen into the recovery position, and he pulled out the blanket from under Allen's wheelchair and covered him with it. Legs bleeding, he ran to a nearby hotel and sounded the alarm. Before that, he found Allen's mobile phone in the dark, and he brought it to his face. And for what he did to his owner he won the Victoria Cross Award. The dog saved Allen's life, his marriage, and brought him back to his children. 32.
