The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur "Boots" and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly with not only Williams’ daily paper but a half-ounce packet of Williams’ favorite tobacco, John Rhine’s Mixed. A gun-dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so that the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark. Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times—"days", "late days" or "nights". Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste his knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams’ slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco if previously delivered. A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days, and not until he got up and dressed again, did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into Williams’ hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty-three pounds, Williams’ driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oil smell on the worn leather. The dog thought it was Williams’s wallet because
What will people use the Internet for Shopping and banking will be big growth areas. Henley predicts that, from under 1% of all purchases today, it will account for 6.4% of purchases within four years, amounting to 42 billion. Sales have already started with dry goods such as books and CDs and, as people learn to trust it, will move on to regular purchases such as food. Iceland, the supermarket chain, began computer shopping trials two weeks ago and has already signed up at least 15,000 customers, ranging from busy executives to the housebound. When it links up with digital television, Iceland expects to double that immediately. Yet Internet-linked televisions and phones may only be the start. One potential breakthrough is Bluetooth, named after a 10th-century Danish king famed for his rotten front tooth and uniting warring factions in Denmark and Norway. The modern Bluetooth allows an unlikely array of machines to talk to each other, so that a phone tucked away in a briefcase can remember to send out a signal that turns on a video machine 50 miles away, switches on the heating or starts the cooker. Cars, offices and kitchens will all speak to each other. In Finland, the idea of phones communicating with computerized tills so that you press a button and pay for your supermarket goods or drink from a vending machine is being tested. Said one enthusiast: "Your phone will be your remote control for life." As with all revolutions, there are reservations. Health concerns about mobile phones are unresolved, with microwave radiation linked to increased tiredness and headaches in one recent study in Sweden. Some argue that more sophisticated entertainment at home will deepen antisocial "cocooning" trends, that internet grocery deliveries will kill off the last comer shops, and that a "couch potato" generation of children will grow even more over-fat. The most significant impact, however, will be in the way we work. Adrian Hansford, director of millennial projects at BT, predicts it will encourage more people to work at home. "People have talked about telecommuting for years, but at last it makes economic sense. Many officers will turn into touchdown centers, where people will only occasionally call in. This is already the case for one in five at BT," he said. With the development of phone communicating,
Many schoolteachers say that as difficult as their students can be to deal with, parents can be even worse. Some parents are quick to【C1】______and protest when their son or daughter gets in trouble or performs poorly on a test. For example, a Time magazine report【C2】______one college professor who has had students who " call their parents from the classroom on a cell phone to complain about a low grade and then pass the phone over to her,【C3】______class, because the parent wanted to intervene.

Such parents are doing their children no favors. In fact,【C6】______" rescuing" their children, they are preventing them from " having real experiences of decision making, failing, and【C7】______their own messes," writes the report. The author adds: " If parents run too much interference【C8】______problem solving for their children while the children sit back and do【C9】______the parents will get stronger,【C10】______the children get weaker and fall over when they try to run on their own." 【C1】
