¡¡¡¡We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it£®Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related£®In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American high schools owned one or two computers for student use£®In the fall of 1985, a new study showed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use£®And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become computer literate£®By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations£®Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print illiterate today£®

¡¡¡¡What is computer literacy? The term itself seems to imply some degree of knowing about computers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate£®

¡¡¡¡Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education£®Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine (ÄÚȼ»ú) works£®We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work£®

¡¡¡¡Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how to repair them£®Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work?

¡¡¡¡Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is£®

¡¡¡¡Knowing how to use a computer is what's going to be important£®We don't talk about ¡°automobile literacy¡±£®We just get in our cars and drive them£®

Gordon Summer is a very good-looking man admired by millions and so rich that he can afford all he could ever wish for.  1  known as Sting, he¡¯s the lead singer of The Police.

Suddenly Sting has become a   2  .¡°I can¡¯t walk down a street any more without feeling that people are  3  me,¡± he says.

¡°When I¡¯m not working, all I want to do is to be a   4   person. I make a point of walking round the street, just being  5  .¡±

He and Frances bought the house in   6  when Sting returned from The Police¡¯s highly successful world tour.

¡°I picked Ireland because, apart from being  7  ,you can stay in touch with England while  8  life at a slower pace!¡±He also has Irish ancestry(×æÏÈ)and an Irish  9  ,Frances, a well accepted actress.

Sting is very much a man  10  the eighties:¡°Frances  11  to be considered as only my wife, which I¡¯m   12   about. She has her own  13  .She¡¯s ambitious(ÐÛÐIJª²ªµÄ)and clever, but she has never let it affect her. It¡¯s  14  been that way. When we got married and had Joseph,¡±explains Sting,¡°we both agreed that being  15  was not going to affect our work.¡±

A fixed  16  life is clearly important to Sting. It remains the one constant factor in a world that has changed completely for him since he   17  a job in teaching for the music business. Sting loved  18  ,but could not help playing in bands. So he tried to  19  both, teaching by day, playing by night. It left him so  20  that he knew he had to choose one or the other.

Protecting China¡¯s Giant Panda

China¡¯s giant panda shows the achievement of the international effort to save animals that are now in danger. In television programs we often see pandas  1  funny games. Children have panda toys and beautiful cards with pictures of lovely  2  in them. They often visit the giant pandas in the zoo on  3  holidays and have a good time there. However, scientists are worried about the  4  of giant pandas. They know only about 1 000 giant pandas remain  5  today. They think the giant panda will die out in 30 years if the present conditions are not  6  .

It is reported that the giant pandas have a very  7  birthrate. About 115 pandas live in zoos and research centers mainly in China, but during the past 10 years they  8  only 34  9  pandas that are still alive. Survival rate for giant pandas in the wild are probably the same or lower.

There are several reasons for the low  10  . The main reason is  11  male pandas can make love with females in a very  12  season¡ªonly a few days a year. When they do have babies, females often produce two pandas, but the mother is usually not able to care for  13  of them. The newborn pandas  14  only a few kilograms each. They are too weak to live without special care. In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers  15  the young pandas, but those living in the wild do not get enough  16  . It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas.

Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years. Pandas in China continue to  17  in number. We know pandas live on bamboos. But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die. The pandas there have  18  to eat and die of hunger.

Giant pandas now live in 13 separate  19  areas in China. Several years ago the Chinese government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed  20  a project of protecting giant pandas in the wild. We hope it could be helpful.

My father was raised in a fatherless home at a time when the family of five struggled to survive, which caused my father to be extremely tightfisted(ÁßØÄ) with money.

When we children became ¡¡ 16 that other children got pocket money from their parents, we made a(n)¡¡ 17 to ask our father from some. Immediately his face turned stone-cold, and he said, ¡°If you¡¯re old enough to ask, you¡¯re old enough to ¡¡ 18 .¡± And we had to seek odd jobs about the neighborhood.

He didn¡¯t ¡¡ 19 his attitude as we grew into adulthood. There was a time when ¡¡ 20 of us had a car, so we had to ride a ¡¡ 21 whenever we came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met us,¡¡ 22 in bad weather. If someone ¡¡23 (and my brothers did a lot), he¡¯d say in his ¡¡ 24 father-voice. ¡°That¡¯s what your legs are ¡¡ 25 !¡±

One spring morning I was on the bus home from ¡¡ 26 . Tests and long hours in labs had ¡¡ 27 me exhausted. As other students were ¡¡ 28 at their stops. I looked silently out of the window. Finally, the bus came to a ¡¡ 29 at my destination, and I ¡¡ 30 , carrying my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

The row of privet hedge(Ê÷Àé) came into ¡¡ 31 , which lined the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. I stopped to put a book in the suitcase. When I stood up, I saw something gray

¡¡ 32 along the top of the hedge toward the house.

It was the top of my father¡¯s head. I ¡¡ 33 then, each time I came home, he would stand behind the hedge, watching,¡¡ 34 he knew I had arrived safely. I held back my tears. He did care,¡¡ 35 .

Upon reaching home, I found my father innocently in his chair. ¡°So! It¡¯s you!¡± he said, his face lengthening into surprise.

It was 4 o¡¯ clock in the morning when I received the phone call.

¡°This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 31 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a (n) 32 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.¡± Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 33 .

The doctor described the 34 , which caused the burns. Our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 35 the charcoal(ľ̿), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames 36 my son¡¯s shirt tail(Ï°Ú) and shot from his waist to well over his head.

37 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped(ץס) my son, and 38 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 39 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(ÉË°Ì).

After he 40 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(ÕûÈÝ) for 6 months 41 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking(ËõË®) and wrinkling(ÆðÖå). So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 42 scar on her arm, ¡°Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 43 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn¡¯t matter to you.¡±

I 44 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to his 45 and returned to school with his head held high¡ª¡ªglad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not 46 , so he made the 47 to give up any plastic surgery.

We all have ¡°scars¡± that we believe 48 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 49 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 50 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
