Joseph is a teacher in New York. He gives lessons to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (he) students about American history. But he was born {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Kenya, an African country where the children lead a very different life.

The children also learn many {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(skill) like how to live in the wild.

    Unlike many other children, Joseph went to school. And {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (lucky), when he was 15, he came {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (study) in America and then became a teacher. Joseph has written {#blank#}7{#/blank#} book called Facing the Lion. In the book, he talks about his childhood. He thinks {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is very important for American children to learn about the cultural differences between their country {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the others. He also thinks children should learn to be strong and full of hope. Now Joseph {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do)a project, hoping that it will help children face their own" lions".

    Since computers were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (invent) in the US in 1946, they have become very important in many areas(领域).

In space, computers have been used to control the speed and direction of a spaceship. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the help of computers, doctors can find diseases(疾病) easily and solve other problems. For example, tiny computers which are inside patients' bodies can keep {#blank#}4{#/blank#} hearts beating normally. In factories, robots are controlled by computers that are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} human brains. They can do work that is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (danger) to humans. In business, computers are used to place and cancel (取消) orders. They are also making the workplace safer and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (good).

Since the Internet came into being, people'

s {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (life) at home have been changed, too. More and more people have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (person) computers that are used to play games and watch movies.

"Are you listening, Simon? " Simon's teacher asked. It was a pretty usual question. Simon shook his head, smiling. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. Talking was so much fun. He wanted to be heard rather than listen.

"Listen, and you' ll learn something." Mrs. Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.

 That evening, his throat really hurt. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say"Good morning", nothing came out but a croak(低沉而沙哑的声音).

 Simon's mother looked at him. "Honey, you' ve lost your voice "

"Can I stay home?" He tried to ask, but words didn't come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn't talk.

 When he got to school, Mrs. Jacobs said"Hello" to him, and he just nodded. When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged(耸肩). By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he'd grown a third eye.

 Penny raised her hand. "Mrs Jacobs, why isn't Simon talking?"

"He never stops talking," Richard said worriedly. Everyone started talking at once. They were excited, worried, and surprised.

 Simon sat in class, bored. He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn't there, but he couldn't even do that. In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn't fun. He decided to try to pay attention.

 He could do his homework that night. It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.

 The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.

 What a difference that one day made!
