Windows 95 will bring about a great change in the whole computer industry C. other companies don't think highly of Windows 95 D. Windows 95 will help sell more powerful computers B “A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right, says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie's opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing. “If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed, she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain , Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language, she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I've told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said `Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer. This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitablybrought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses.“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I'll never go back, she said. “Never. “When I set one of my books in Scotland, she said,“I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us. 查看更多

     Critics say Microsoft Windows 95 must be able to do what the company has said or sales will fall sharply.
This could mean the public would reject future Microsoft products. The public would lose trust in the company. Some people say this will not happen. They say Microsoft sent out several thousand copies of their new product to computer experts to test several months before it was released. Problems that these testers found were
immediately corrected. Microsoft representatives are working to solve all the other problems buyers find when
they try the new system. Computer industry experts say that if there are no major problems Microsoft can
expect to earn about 7 thousand million dollars from Windows 95 in the first two years. The experts say this
could be just a beginning for Microsoft and the whole computer industry. The experts say Windows 95 can
help the user do many different and difficult tasks. They say this means the sale of more powerful computers
and other computer products will increase as people learn about the new Microsoft product. Other companies
say Windows 95 is not a big improvement. The Apple Computer Company says its Mackintosh Operating System has been able to do many of the same things since 1989. For example, it has been able to let users work two
different programs at the same time. The Amega Computer also has offered this for almost ten years. And IBM
