This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few boos off the shelf at random. The cover of a boo caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the boo's cover was a beagle which looed identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unnowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the boo, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, lie mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way bac home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the boo.

The Charm of a BooDNowadays, new technologies continue to emerge. From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But eperts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations eisting today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The net fifteen years will see a revolution in how we wor, and a revolution will necessarily tae place in how we plan and thin about worplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Worplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social sills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 eperts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs --- just changing what people do.” growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological now-how(专门技术) will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of eperts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the net few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not tae the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co- author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem liely to be created.
