I remember well the polished old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephon

27、e, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it.Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was “Information Please“ and there was nothing she did not know. “Information Please“ could supply anyones number.My first personal experi

28、ence with “Information Please“ came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. I accidentally hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my hurting finger, 5finally ar

29、riving at the stairwaythe telephone! Climbing up I unhooked the receiver and held it to my ear. “Information, please“ I said. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear, “information.“I hurt my finger.“ I cried. The tears came readily enough now that I had an audience. “Isnt your mothe

30、r home?” came the question. “Nobodys home but me.“ I sobbed. “Are you bleeding?“ “No.“ I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.“ “Can you open the icebox?“ she asked.

32、soled (无可慰藉). Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.“ Somehow I felt better.

33、Another day I was on the telephone, “Information Please.“ “Information,“ said in the now familiar voice. “How do I spell fix?“ I asked.All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Then when I was nine years old, we moved across the country to Boston. I missed my friend very much. “I

34、nformation Please“ belonged in that old wooden box back home and I somehow never thought of trying the shiny new phone that sat on the hall table.

35、e sense of security I had then.

36、ith my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, “Information Please“Surprisingly, I heard again the small, clear voice I knew so well, “Information.” I hadnt planned this, but I heard myself saying, “Could you please tell me how to

37、spell fix?“ There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, “I guess your finger must have healed by now.“I laughed, “So its really you.“ I said.“ I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time?“I wonder,“ she said. “if you know how much your call meant to me. I ne

38、ver had any children and I used to look forward to your calls.“I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister.“Please do.“ she said, “Just ask for Sally.“Just three months later I was back in Seattle. A different voi

39、ce answered “Information“ and I asked for Sally.6“Are you a friend?“ she said.“Yes, a very old friend,“ I answered.“Then Im sorry to have to tell you this,“ she said. “Sally had been working part-time the last few years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago.“ But before I could hang up she s

45、he boredom of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, theres virtual reality (VR，虚拟现实).Many VR games are played while standing.
