3．Computers have changed the way a business functions to a large extent．In the past，corporate houses rented spaces for running accounting departments．It took months together to figure out profit or loss that a business had made or suffered．However，computers have become the backbone of all businesses now．Today，computers are used beyond bookkeeping （记账） purposes too．Almost everything that happens in an organization is recorded，worked upon and evaluated with the help of computers．
Imagining our lives without computers is next to impossible．Computers were initially used only in workplaces．However，they soon became a household name，which revolutionized everything from school homework to grocery shopping．When the Internet came into being，it caused a great change in the way we functioned．Over a period of time，computers enabled working from home，which created a new type of employment．This gave usage of computers，within the confines（界限） of homes，a new part．As technology progressed，simple things such as shopping，booking tickets，buying a new house，searching for schools and colleges，researching for projects and medical information became a lot easier with entry of computers in every household．
As an indispensable tool in our lives，computers have changed the way we think in more ways than one．Today，all you have to do about finding answers is just"Google it"!The online world of blogging，instant messaging，chatting and social networking not only leaves virtual traces，but unites the world in a completely unimagined way．This powerful medium is the great mode of mass communication which affects our thinking by providing people with a platform to voice their opinions and begin discussions that have brought about a change in the world．
Computers have pushed us to see different worlds and experience different cultures．The revolution in Egypt is the latest example of how computers changed the world．Today the identity of information technology is computers．Invention of this machine has changed the world's perspective about cultures，economics，history and current affairs．The advent （到来） of computers has no doubt brought a revolutionary change in our existence．

1．I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep．His name was Mr．Basille．He wore a white cap and drove a white truck．As a 5-year-old boy，I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt．He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer．
Of course，he delivered more than milk．There was cheese，eggs and so on．If we needed to change our order，my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"and place it in the box along with the empty bottles．And then，the buttermilk would magically appear．
All of this was about more than convenience．There existed a close relationship betwen families and their milkmen．Mr．Basille even had a key to out house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors，so that the milk wouldn't freeze．And I remember Mr．Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table，having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery．
There is sadly no home milk delivery today．Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk，thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete．Besides，milk is for sale everywhere，and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service．
Recently，an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories．I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）．Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is．So I start telling stories of my boyhood，and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk．

19．A Koala Isn't a BearKoalas remind people of teddy bears．They have thick fur and large ears．Their broad，flat nose makes them look cute，similar to teddy bears．In fact koalas aren't cute．They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws!Koalas are marsupials．This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops，similar to a kangaroo．The baby koala lives in its mother's pocket for the first six months of its life．
The name"koala"comes from a native Australian word that means"no drink"．The koalas get almost all their water from the euclyptus（桉树）leaves they eat．That's where they get their food too．Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves，and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees．The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live．It's also where they sleep．Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!
Why do they leep so much？Some people think it's because they're lazy．But koalas aren't lazy．They sleep so much because there isn't much nutrition in eucalyptus leaves．Koalas store hardly any fat，so they must save their energy．One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot．
After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset．They live alone most of the time．Koalas are very protective of their trees．If a koala sees another koala eating in its favorite tree，it might tell the other koala to leave by"barking"at it．Koalas do"talk"to each other．Besides barks，the males make a deep grunting sound．The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds．If they get scared they may scream like a baby．
