Computers are very important to modern life．Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life．It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet．There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers．The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food．Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too．

Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating(交流)．Others do not think that computers will replace（代替）our old ways．

Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers, which will keep many different books in them at the same time．We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved．Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more．

While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy．It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly．Maybe computers won’t change these two habits．

Carolyn Stradley is the founder of C&S Paving Ine.(铺路公司)in Atlanta,USA.In the following account,she recalls the job that challenged her   36   and skill but left her flying high.

“When the Atlanta Airport was under   37   in 1979,we were a new company struggling to make it.National Car Rental wanted to have 2500 square meters of dirt paved   38   the cars could be on site   39   the airport opened,and the official opening was only ten days away!   40   other local paving company wanted to do the job,   41   it couldn’t be done in such a short time.”

“Because we were new and really needed the work,we were   42   to try harder.We gave National Car Rental our offer and    43   our best effort to get the job finished within ten days.We also   44   them that if we failed,they would be no worse off,   45   they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.”

“Those ten days were filled with challenges that  53   one creative idea after another.Nine days later,the night before the airport opened,National Car Rental was the  54  company that had cars on the parking lot.”

“The key to our success was having the    55   to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”
