21．（6分） I have had a lifelong fascination﹣call it obsession if you like﹣with communication， with making links to other places， other cultures， other worlds． The roots of this obsession have often puzzled me． I am not﹣never have been﹣a gregarious person． Quite the opposite， I was a solitary child and my classmates at school and university always thought of me as a loner． I was never crazy about the noisy solidarity of social gatherings． So why was I possessed of a desire to make contact with distant places？It can partly be explained by the start I had in life． I grew up on what seemed at the time like the edge of the world﹣in a remote part of rural Ireland， in a household with few books or magazines， and no television． Foreign travel was unheard of． Apart from those who emigrated to Great Britain or the United States， virtually nobody we knew had ever been abroad． Nobody ever went overseas on holiday， and no foreign languages were taught in the schools I attended﹣with the exception of Latin． We lived in a closed society that thought of itself as self﹣sufficient．There was however one chink of light in the suffocating gloom﹣the radio， which we called "the wireless．" It was， by modern standards， a huge apparatus powered by valves﹣which is why it took some time to warm up﹣and a "magic eye" tuning indicator﹣a greenish glass circle that winked at you as the signal waxed or waned． The best thing about our wireless， though， was that it had a shortwave band． This was the source of endless fascination to me， because it meant that even with this primitive device one could listen to the world． At first I couldn't understand how it worke。
