The next time you try for a high-ranking post,you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending（推荐）phone call"made"by US President Ceorge W.Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Of course,neither of them could really do that for you--you would just"borrow"their voices.
AT&T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life.
The software,which turns printed text into speech,makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person′s voice to say things that the person never actually said.
Possible customers for the software,which is priced in the thousands of dollars,includes telephone call centers,companies that make software that reads digital（数字的）files aloud,and makers of automated voice devices（装置）.The advances raise several problems.Who,for example,owns the rights to a famous person′s voice?Some experts even believe that new contracts（合同）will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses.
"And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud（假冒）,would the synthesized（合成的）voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know?
Even Mr Fruchterman,one of AT&T labs′possible first customers,said he wondered what the new technology might bring."Just like you can′t trust a photograph any more."he said,"you won′t be able to trust a voice either."
According to the passage,you can infer that

Good Communication for Making Friends
As a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points to making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like, "Thanks for the great time" and "It was really nice to get to know you."If you are not good at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them.
The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right? In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example, let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurts .Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you, "Let's be good friends," you may not be able to accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like "I
might be betrayed again" or "the person might have a hidden agenda."With this worry in your mind, you will not be able to make friends.
If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience.
For example, try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favourably and feel better.
The example in paragraph 2 is intended to show that（ ）A、the goal of good communication is to reach another person's heartB、the goal of good communication is to form a comfortable relationshipC、good communication is based on the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive personD、it does take time for someone to forget all about the painful past
