Suddenly, a group of spots streakspast you. What was it? It mayhave been a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. It can run upto 70 miles per hour, which is faster than most cars moving on thehighway!In many ways, the cheetah is built for speed. Even though this animal is a cat, its paws are much more like a dog’s paws. The paws allow the cheetah to make quick turns. A cheetah also has long legs that help it take big steps. It can jump as far as 20 feet in one leap! Even the cheetah’s backbone helps it move quickly. The backboneacts as a spring (弹簧), moving the cheetah forward with sudden burst (迸发) ofenergy. Although the cheetah can run fast, it cannot run for long distance. It uses its energy quickly and becomes tired. If the cheetah cannot catch its dinner in a hurry, it will have to rest a while before trying again.A cheetah is also made to be a great hunter. It has sharp eyesight. A cheetah cansee other animals up to three miles away. Good eyesight helps the cheetah find its prey (猎物) so it can plan an attack. A cheetah’s coat is also very useful. The coat is light brown with black spots. It allows a cheetah to hide in the tall, brown grass in Africa. Other animals do not see ithiding, so a cheetah can get close to rabbits, birds, and other animals quietly.Today the cheetah is in danger. Parts of Africa are being turned into farms. This change forces the cheetah and other animals to find new places to live, which is not always easy. Cheetahs are also being hunted by other animals such as lions and hyenas.

While technology has influenced how people’s needs are met, it has also influenced how people make a living.Many people have jobs that meet other people’s wants and needs.

People who work make money, and then they spend their money on goods and services that other people provide. We spend money on things we need. But what happens to all the stores that sell items that people just don’t want any more?There was a time when people had to go to a video store to hire movies.

The number of bookstores has also decreased (减少) as many people download electronic books. It isn’t only the stores, books, and videos that are disappearing, it is also the jobs these stores provided.There are some services that people depend on that cannot be sent from a distance. Painters, for example, must arrive at a place to paint the house, and a childcare provider must be with a child to make sure that the child is safe .Technology provides chances for people to create new jobs. For example, new technology products need a labour force, as salesmen are needed to sell the technology to people and businesses.
