The means of receiving communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, heating, and touch play the most important roles.
Example of visual communication are gesture and mini-cry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags or flashing lights. Feeling may be simply communicated by touch, such as handshaking , although a highly developed system of handshaking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form. of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.
The means of communication mentioned so far have two feature in common; they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore all are restricted in time and space.
The author explains that he will deal with reception of communication first because ______.
A.communication actually takes place when the message is received
B.there are more means of receiving than sending communications
C.reception of communications involved use of the senses
D.it is difficult to organize by type the means of sending communications

Dear professor,
Banks normally receive money from their customers in two distinct forms; on current account, and on deposit account. With a current account, a customer can issue personal cheques. No interest is paid by the bank on this type of account. With a deposit account, however, the customer undertakes (答应) to leave his money in the bank for a minimum specified period of time. Interest is paid on this money.
The bank in turn lends the deposited money to customers who need capital. This activity earns interest for the bank, and this interest is almost always at a higher rate than any interest which the bank pays to its depositors. In this way the bank makes its main profits.
We can say that the primary function of a bank today is to act as an intermediary (中间人) between depositors who wish to make interest on their savings, and borrowers who wish to obtain capital. The bank is a reservoir (水库) of loanable money, with streams of money flowing in and out. For this reason, economists and financiers often talk of money being" liquid" , or of the ' liquidity ' of money. Many small sums which might not otherwise be used as capital are made useful simply because the bank acts as a reservoir.
The system of banking rests upon a basis of trust. Innumerable acts of trust build up the system of which bankers, depositors and borrowers are part. They all agree to behave in certain predictable ways in relation to each other, and in relation to the rapid fluctuations of credit and debit. Consequently, business can be done and cheques can be written without visibly changing hands.
On______, the bank will pay interest.
A.the current account
B.personal cheques
C.the deposit account
D.both the current and deposit account

Dear Brett,
Welcome back to St.Swithen’s.I look forward to hearing about your adventures in the US.
I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went away, and you need to know about them before you can start work.
The main change is that we have had a new computer system installed.You will need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients! I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10 o’clock on Monday with our IT consultant, Gerry.He’s a really nice guy.
It’s especially important that you can use the patient records system.We’ve had a few teething problems, and it seems complicated at first;but when you get used to it, you’ll find it really helpful.For example, it’s much quicker than the old system.Remember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen? Well, now it’s very quick.
You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking system, so you can see who your next patient is.The new program makes it impossible to double-book a patient, so we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to.
As well as the computer system, we’ve also installed a new electronic security door.You will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two months.I’m afraid we made Bill redundant.It’s a shame;I used to enjoy talking to him every morning.
Well, I hope you like the improvements.Most people find that it makes their work easier and faster.There is one downside though;the atmosphere has become less personal.I used to talk to everyone a lot, but now we communicate by email most of the time.I even email people who work in the same room as me!
Well, see you on Monday, Brett.Nice to have you back.
Best wishes,
Simon
