Mrs Brown was having a lot of trouble with her skin（皮肤）, so she went to her doctor about it. He could not find anything wrong about her, so he sent her to the hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results（结果）of the tests to Mrs Brown's doctor. The next morning he telephoned her to give her a list（名单）of things that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause（起因）of her skin trouble.

　　Mrs Brown carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper. She then left it beside the telephone while she went out to a party.

　　When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her. He had a big basket full of things beside him, and when he saw her, he said, "Hello, dear. I have done all your shopping for you."

　　"Done all my shopping?" She asked in surprise. "But how did you know what I wanted?"

　　"Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone," answered her husband, "So I went down the shops and bought everything you had written down."

The computer is fast, and never makes a mistake, while people are too slow, and full of mistakes sometimes. That's what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarter of a century, scientists have been making better and better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals, post offices and airports. A computer can report, decide and control (控制) in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer “think” like a man. With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures, write music, talk with people, play chess, recognize (识别) voices, translate (翻译) languages and so on. Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Do you think the people will be afraid when they find that the computer is too clever to listen to and serve (服务) the people?

0ur village carpenter(木匠)，John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife.  He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two window.  When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill( 账单) for his job.
My wife said to me quietly, “That’s his ninth cup of tea today. ”But she said in a loud voice, “It’s a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it?” “I’ll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.  John laughed and gave me his bill for the work.  I read:
One dining table                 10^th November, 2011
Cost of wood                    $ 17:00
Paint                           $1. 50
Work, 8 hours($1 an hour)          $8. 00
Total                           $36. 50
When I was looking at the bill, John said,” It’s been a fine day, hasn’t it? Quite sunny. ”
“Yes,” I said.  “I’m glad it’s only the 10^th of November. ”
“Me, too,” said John, “you wait—it will be a lot colder by the end of the month. ”
“Yes, colder—and more expensive! Dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30^th, won’t they, John?”
John looked hard at me for half a minute.  Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.
“If it’s not too much trouble, John,” I said,“Please add(加) it up again, You can forget the date-------”
I paid him $26. 50 and he was happy to get it.
【小题1】Why did John talk about the weather when the writer was looking at the bill?
