Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device (装置) on your desk. And they've never actually  __1__ you. Everything they know about you __2__ through this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. __3__ they feel they can know you __4__ from the sound of your voice. That's how powerful the __5__ is.
Powerful, yes, but not always __6__. For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I'd never met __7__, got me rock­bottom prices on airfares, cars, and hotels. But her cold voice really __8__ me. I sometimes wished to __9__ another agent.
One morning, I had to __10__ an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani's office __11__. The woman sitting at the desk, __12__ my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a __13__ smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the __14__ immediately. “What a wonderful lady!” I thought.
Rushing out __15__ I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what's your name?”“I'm Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a __16__ woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was __17__! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so __18__.
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani's __19__—her warm smile, her nods, her “I'm here for you” __20__—were all silent signals that didn't travel through wires.
