There was a big pile of bricks on the top of a tall building and a man
had to bring them down to the ground. He had a long rope which went over a pulley(滑轮) at the roof of the building. The other end was fastened to a big box.

box could not come down. Then he climbed up the ladder and filled the box with bricks. Next
he climbed down the ladder and untied the rope. Unfortunately the box of bricks was heavier than
the man, and as a result he was pulled up by the: rope. Half-way up, the box of bricks hit him as it was coming down.

As a result the bricks fell out. The box was then lighter than the man and consequently he began
to come down and the box began to go up.

go up. The man then reached the ground. Then he let go the rope to rub his head. The box, of

him to hospital

Passage Five
Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around
this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states: of America.
Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.
The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a
telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then gives an answer. For example, people on
the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill,
and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.
As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were
started for them in some places. At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and
listen to teachers in cities far away.
Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme Round Robin
Talks by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was
going away and who was iii. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money
the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.
52. In the passage "the two-way radio" is______.

A. important to Americans
B. useful for children only
C. used as a telephone
D. only used by doctors
