"Let's go to the animal center. Many pets there need homes. Tomorrow is Saturday, so we can both go," she says.

The next morning the Browns meet Mr. Snow at the animal center. "We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes," Mr. Snow says, "So I need to ask you some questions."

I couldn't help staring at him. I w5.what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store r6.didn't allow me to do so.

Most schools are going to start a program called B.Y.O.T.(bring your own technology)This program allows students to bring iPads, cell phones or other things to school for study. One aim(目标)for this program is that the students don’t need to carry textbooks any more. They can download math, science, social studies, and read textbooks on their iPads. Another one is that they can get free educational subjects to play in their free time!

Schools have set up a free Wi-Fi system just for the B.Y.O.T. program. Thank teachers for all their hard work to set this program up. I really think this program will go well in most schools and I also think the learning will be better than ever.

However, some schools will probably not allow this because they think that it will make kids mess around too much and they might break their iPads.

This program will let students have fun and learn at the same time. If you like your iPads and you like to read, school is getting started with reading with iPads. Many high schools and middle schools have already started and so have some primary schools. But most primary schools are coming along! Let’s tell them: Hurry! Get ready to learn!
