Rome had the Forum（论坛）. London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway and on busy street corners. Just talk.
Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “Talk to Me”, they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.
They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion. So what’s the point?
“To e what happens,” said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open communication.”
Shortly after the September 11,2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.
“It started as a crazy idea,” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”
Deni wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the cond time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had lost her husband becau of a rious dia. “That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join in their informal talks. Some publishers have expresd interest in a book, something they say they’ll consider.

All over the country the days, electronic mail messages are ending with this strange little mark :-) or one of its many variants （变体）like :-(.
It was 20 years ago that Scott Fahlman taught the Net how to smile. The Carnegie Mellon computer scientist has devoted his life to man-made intelligence, the practice of teaching computers how to think like humans, but the bearded scientist is perhaps best known for a flash of inspiration (灵感) that helped to define (定义) Internet culture.
By the early l980's the Computer Science group at Carnegie Mellon was making heavy u of online bulletin boards or "bboards". A good many of the posts were humorous. The problem was that if someone made a humorous remark, a few readers would fail to get the joke. This problem caud
some people to suggest (only half riously) that maybe it would be a good idea to clearly mark posts that were not to be taken riously. After all, when using text-bad online communication, we lack the body language or the tone of voice that communicates this information when we talk in person or on the phone.
Soon Sept. 19, 1982, Fahlman typed :-) in an online message. "I had no idea I was starting something that would soon pollute all the world's communications channels," he wrote later. The "smiley face" has since become common in online communication, allowing 12-year-old girls and corporate lawyers alike to mark their messages with a quick symbol that says, "Hey, I'm only joking."
This creation caught on quickly around Carnegie Mellon, and soon spread to other universities and rearch labs by means of the computer networks of the day. Since then, the smiling icons (marks) have taken the e-mail world by storm. Now called emoticons, short for emotive(情感) icons, Fahiman's smiley face encouraged the creation of thousands of variants.
Yahoo, Microsoft and America Online all put emoticons into their instant-messaging systems, while telecom companies, jewelry makers and online merchants have nt in trademark applications (申请) for products and ads that include Fahlman's smiley face.
But Fahlman has never en a cent from his creation. "If it cost people a cent to u it, nobody would have ud it. This is my little gift to the world, for better or wor," he said.
25. What do the underlined words this information in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. the body language
B. the suggestion of marking posts
C. the tone of voice
D. the humors behind the words
26. The purpo of Fahlman in typing the first smiley face was ________.struts
