One day, the spider caught a little bug (虫子). The bug said, “If you let me go, I will tell you something important that will save your life.” The spider stopped and listened carefully. “You’d better get out of this field,” the little bug said. “The harvest (收割) is coming!”

The spider smiled and said, “What is the harvest you are talking about? You are just telling me a story.” But the little bug said, “Oh, no, it is true. The owner of this field is coming to harvest it soon. You will be killed by the machines if you stay here.”

The spider said, “I don’t believe you. I have lived here all of my life, and the owner has never come here.” And then the spider ate the little bug for lunch.

The next day was a beautiful sunny day. As the spider was going to have a rest, she saw some thick clouds moving towards her. She could hear the sound of a great machine, and she said to herself, “What would that be? Is the bug right?”

In the future, technology will no longer be interrupting us all the time. Instead, we will use calm technology which was first developed by scientist Mark Weiser in the 1970s. In his opinion, calm technology works quietly but constantly. We know it is there, but we don’t pay much attention to it. According to Mark, the best technology should be invisible (隐形的) and let you live your life.

We already use many different types of calm technology in our everyday lives. Do you have a smoke alarm (警报器) in your house? That smoke alarm is always there, checking the air for smoke and quietly keeping you safe. It only reminds you it’s there when you’ve burnt your bread! Or there may be lights in your home or school. When somebody passes in front of their sensors (传感器), the lights turn on. You don’t think about this type of technology until you see the light go on.

In the future, we can use calm technology to open the curtains (窗帘) for us in the morning, to turn down the heat when we leave, or even to choose the best music for us. The minute we walk through the door, our house will turn on the lights and music, and perhaps even start to prepare our dinner!

Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming popular in Hefei.

“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.

“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”

However, there are some problems along with clothes donation. Recently, a reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:

◆The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.

◆Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.

◆Some communities set the box in unsuitable (不合适的) places. So there are few clothes in it.

◆Many clothes are too old.

“What’s worse,” one of the workers in a community added, “We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problems since we set the box.”

In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.

In spite of all these difficulties, he refused to give up his hope of living and went on to study at Cambridge University after graduating from Oxford University. In 1965, he got a Doctor’s Degree of philosophy（哲学）. Now he works as a professor at Cambridge University．Because of his serious illness, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write．So he started to think in pictures．With this new way of thinking, he is respected by people in the world．Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time．It has been sold more than 5．5 million copies in 33 different languages．He was once invited to China to give lectures．His self-confidence and humorous conversations impressed us deeply．
