15、 I was a boy I always wanted to be a cowboy. I remember my Mom worrying about me getting sick from the heat in the summer, because I wore a thick blue sweater all the time. No respectable cowboy, however, would wear short sleeves so I sweated while I played.One day my parents gave me a bb gun.

16、It looked just like a gun that all the cowboys used in the movies. I spent hours each day during those summer months shooting at stumps and pretending to be John Wayne (film actor who played tough heroes). As I was coming into the house one afternoon, though, I tried it one time too many.

17、The gun that I thought was empty let out a soft pop and a bullet flew across the room and parted the hair of my Dad who was asleep on the couch. My Dad took one look at the bb hole a half inch above his head, walked over to me, took my gun, walked outside, and calmly broke it in half.I didnt cry too

18、 much over this. I knew how close I had come to hurting my Dad with my stupidity. I didnt expect to ever get another bb gun either.

19、single bb in the new gun, but in my imagination John Wayne rode again.I eventually outgrew my cowboy stage, but I never did outgrow my appreciation for my Fathers forgiveness. He showed me that even when I messed up in the worse way I was still loved. He gave me another chance an

33、ing advice on how to make friends in a new school.CWe live in a “now” culture. If it takes more than five seconds for a website to load, we wont view it.

44、統(tǒng)） are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. However, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to b

45、lame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-

46、equipped car to use during his stay. Mr. Brown says, “They just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put

47、their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error, but what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. He says, “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a

48、 very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that its going to the wrong place.”Mr. Brown says, “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most imp

49、ortant thing was that you have to know what youre doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies（資格） that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong. This goes against a common belief that GPS systems ar
