When I opened my email the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm(热情)． 1 now and then she stopped to smile at me or 2 a kiss．She was a mean email form from my brother, and much of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high speed Internet 3 ．It was pretty cool．
Rachel was there 4 to a new technology called 5 ．Face mail lets you send email that gets ready to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑)．The 6 ．Which is free, can be downloaded at www．Facemail．com．
Face mail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模拟)feelings 7 on the feelings that you put in your text．For example, type in X, and 8 blows a kiss．
The company that 9 the Face mail is sure there are broad business uses．
The reason e-business is not 10 , the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human 11 ．But what if you go to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greets you by name, 12 on you and 13 closes the sale?And it is talking with Whirlpool(惠而浦公司)about using the 14 in a company screen on a fridge．Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a 15 with a voice and 16 telling them what there is to 17 ．
Facemail could get 18 fast．Personally, I’m a fan．But Facemail should be used with 19 ．The clown looks lively and funny at first．But if you select the clown, put a few 20 words in an email and add some angry feelings, you’ll get a psycho mail(疯人型电子邮件)．
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football．I gave the same 1 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members．I talked about 2 football wasn't just for 3 athletes and how everyone could 4 from it．This year, a 5 looking couple approached me after my speech．They said their son really wanted to play football．They had tried to 6 him out of it, but he had his heart 7 on joining the team．
When they told me his name, my heart sank．Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds．He was a 8 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 9 sports．I knew he would never 10 it through football practice, let 11 as a player．But we told them we could give it a try．
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 12 starting a one-mile jog around the track．I 13 my eye on Michael．At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet．“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 14 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on． 15 he fell, but each time 16 himself up．
The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 17 and physically．By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 18 only one game that season, 19 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 20 I was of him．
