TEXT H First read the question. 55. The tone implied in the title of this text is ____. A. nostalgic B. euphemistic C. sarcastic D. pungent Now go through TEXT H quickly to answer question 55. Darkness at Noon Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been complete dependent on the image I create in the eye of the observer. To date it has not been narcissistic. There are those who assume that since I cant see, I obviously also can not hear. Very often people will converse with me at the top of their lungs, enunciating each word very carefully. Conversely, people will also often whisper, assuming that since my eyes dont work, my ears dont either. For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for assistance to the plane, he or she will invariably pick up the phone, call a ground hostess and whisper: "Hi, Jane, weve got a 76 here." I have concluded that the word "blind" is not used for one of two reasons: Either they fear that if the dread word is spoken, the ticket agents retina will immediately detach, or they are reluctant to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously aware. On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I cant talk. Often, therefore, when my wife and I go out to dinner, a waiter or waitress will ask Kit if "he would like a drink" to which I respond that "indeed he would". This point was graphically driven home to me while we were in England. I had been given a years leave of absence from my Washington law firm to study for a diploma in law degree at Oxford University. During the year I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after admission, I was wheeled down to the X-ray room. Just at the door sat an elderly woman —— elderly I would judge from the sound of her voice. "What is his name?" the woman asked the orderly who had been wheeling me. "What is your name?" the orderly repeated to me. "Harold Krents", I replied. "Harold Krents", he repeated. "When was he born?" "When were you born?" "November 5, 1994", I responded. "November 5,1994", the orderly intoned. This procedure continued for approximately five minutes at which point even my saint-like disposition deserted me. "Look," I finally blurted out, "this is absolutely ridiculous. Okay, granted I cant see, but its got to have become pretty clear to both of you that I dont need an interpreter." "He says he doesnt need an interpreter," the orderly reported to the woman. The toughest misconception of all is the view that because I cant see, I cant work. I was turned down by over forty law firms because of my blindness, even though my qualifications included a cum laude degree from Harvard College and a good ranking in my Harvard Law School class. The attempt for employment, the continuous frustration of being told that it was impossible for a blind person to practice law, the rejection letters, not based on my lack of ability but rather on my disability, will always remain one of the most disillusioning experiences of my life. Fortunately, this view of limitation and exclusion is beginning to change. On April 16, 1976, the Department of Labor issued regulations that mandate equal-employment opportunities for the handicapped. By and large, the business communitys response to offering employment to the disabled has been enthusiastic. I therefore look forward to the day, with the expectation that it is certain to come, when employers will view their handicapped workers as a little child did me years ago when my family still lived in Scarsdale. I was playing basketball with my father in our backyard according to procedures we had developed. My father would stand beneath the hoop, shout, and I would shoot over his head at the basket attached to our garage. Our next-door neighbor, aged five, wandered over into our yard with a playmate. "Hes blind," our neighbor whispered to her friend in a voice that could be heard distinctly by Dad and me. Dad shot and missed; I did the same. Dad hit the rim: I missed entirely: Dad shot and missed the garage entirely. "Which one is blind?" whispered back the little friend. I would hope that in near future when plant manager is touring the factory with the foreman and comes upon a handicapped an nonhandicapped person working together, his comment after watching them work will be, "Which one is disabled?"

Kasparov against the World via Internet New York —— World chess champion Garry Kasparov made his first move against the world on June 21 in a Manhattan park, with a one-meter-high pawn linked to the Internet. His opponent: anyone who can click a mouse and knows the rules of chess. The "Kasparov vs the world" interactive tournament "will be a success no matter what the outcome", said the 36-year-old champion as he addressed an audience of young chess fans in Brant Park, Playing white, he simulated his online opening move —— king pawn to E4 —— which he called "the most traditional move", on a giant board. It was posted to the Web site www.msn.com, which then started immediately fielding countermoves from around the world. Visitors to the site have 24 hours to vote for their sides move. Kasparov will then reply with another 24 hours, and so on, until the conclusion of the match, expected to take most of the summer. Kasparovs opponents can even include unskilled amateurs, as long as they "know the rules of the game," he said. The "World Team" is being guided by five young chess experts who are suggesting their own possible moves and tactics. Before each move is actually played, all site visitors may vote for the move of their choice; the most popular one will be the "World Team" move. This chess tournament is the marriage of an ancient game and a high-tech world —— a paring not foreign to Kasparov, the Russian grand master billed as the greatest chess player ever. Two years ago, he lost to an IBM computer. He says this cutting-edged encounter "is a more pleasant event for the human race." After all, hell pitted against human minds, not the computer chips that once beat him. The five players leading the opposing team are among the worlds finest young chess players. They include Irina Krush, the 15-year-old US womens chess champion; Etienne Bacrot, 16, of France, who became the youngest grand master in history at age 14; Florin Felecan, a 19-year-old who is the highest-rated American chess player under age 21; and Elizabeth Pahtz, 14, of Erfurt, Germany, who is ranked eighth in the World Championship of youngsters. The Moscow-based Kasparov cut a deal with Microsoft Corp to play the current match in the "Gaming Zone" of Microsofts MSN network of Internet services. The teams of the deal were not disclosed. The world-scale interactive game "will make it possible to play the world champion from your own living room", said Yusuf Mehdi, directory of Microsofts Consumer and Commerce Group. After each move, the site will air live "chats" on coaches strategies and options. On June 21 at 8 am, Kasparov answered questions on the Internet from fans around the world. In the highly publicized 1997 "Deep Blue" tournament, he was defeated by the IBM supercomputer —— a "man vs machine" victory that left his pride wounded. When asked what attracted him to chess as a 5-year-old in Soviet Azerbaijan, he said, "I like to win." Hes 100 international points ahead —— way ahead —— of his nearest competitor, he said, so "I dont think about my rating. It doesnt matter."
