I watched quietly as my little brother was caught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a   1 in one hand and my father's new book in the other.

  2  my father walked into the room, my brother cowered (畏縮) slowly. He sensed that he had done something   3  . From a distance I could see that he had   4 my father's new book and scribbled (亂畫) in it. Now, looking at my father in  5  , he and I both waited for his punishment.

My father   6  up his prized book, looked at it carefully, and then sat down, without saying a word. Books were   7  to him. He was a clergyman（牧師） and for him, books were   8  .What he did next was unbelievable.

John s work, 1959, age 2. How many times have I looked into your beautiful face and into your warm, alert (警覺(jué)的) eyes looking up at me? And how many times have I  11 God for the one who has now scribbled in my new book?

"Wow," I thought, "This is punishment?" The years and the books came and went. Our family experienced what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more: happiness and   12  , laughter and tears.

Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.

Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.
