Half a dozen radio stations about the face of the globe crackled sparks of electricity from capital and into millions of humble homes; peace came through the air and was simultaneous over all the face of the earth. The great ceremony on the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay was anticlimax. The greatest fleet in the world lay amidst the greatest ruins in the world under a dark and cheerless covering of clouds. The USS Iowa was on one side of the Missouri, the USS South Dakota on the other. A tattered flag with thirty-one stars was hung on one of the turrets of the battleship—the flag of the infant republic, which Commodore Perry brought with him to the same bay almost a hundred years before. Above the mainmast fluttered the battle flag of the Union of today. The deck was crowded with the American technicians. There were a Russian with a red band about his cap and a Tass newsreel man who insisted on crawling in among the main actors to get his shots; there was a Canadian general who spoiled his part and signed on the wrong line; there was a carefully tailored Chinese general from Chungking (Chongqing). Half a dozen Japanese were piped over the side of the Missouri, but for the purpose of history and in every man’s memory there were only two—the general, Umezu, and the statesman, Shingemitsu. Umezu was dressed in parade uniform, all his ribbons glistening, and his eyes blank, but you could see the brown pockmarks on his cheeks swelling and falling in emotion. Shingemitsu was dressed in a tall silk hat and a formal morning coat as if he were attending a wedding or a funeral. He had a wooden leg, and he limped along the deck; when he began to climb to the veranda deck where the peace was to be signed, he clutched the ropes and struggled up with infinite pain and discomfort. Shingemitsu and Umezu were brought forward, and, after a few carefully chosen words beautifully spoken by General MacArthur, they signed their names to a document marking an end to the Japanese Empire. When they had signed, the generals and admirals of all the other nations put their signatures to the document, and peace, if peace it was, had come. When portraying Umezu and Shingemitsu, the author focused on all the following EXCEPTA. facial expression.B. appearance.C. motions.D. inner activity.

What is technology doing to language?Many assume the answer is simple:ruining it. Kids can no-|||-longer write except in text-speak. Grammar is going to the dogs.

Linguists have studied the-|||-relative effects of strong ties(friends,family) and weaker ties in such patterns,concluding that small communities would host-|||-more stable languages. A computer simulation(模拟)proved that a mix of strong and weak ties allowed language-change-|||-leaders" to spread updates to the wider population.

They are not a language (try telling a complex-|||-story in emojis to someone who doesn`t know it already).They are,Ms McCulloch argues,the digital equivalent of gestures.-|||-Those come in two types."Signs",like a thumbs-up or a wink,have a fixed meaning and form.But"co-speech"gestures--|||-wincing,gesticulating,poi are unplanned and done naturally,and more variable.And emojis come in the same flavour.-|||-People randomly combine many co-speech-style emoj are more likely to stay calm in mixing signs.Just as it would make no-|||-sense to give someone the finger while shaking your head to negate(取消)it,symbolic emojis often stand alone rather than in-|||-expressive chains.-|||-For a period of 1,000 years,speech was all there was.For most of "recorded"history,nearly everyone knew how to read-|||-or write.
