　　This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002．He was different from other dogs because he was born with only two legs．The poor dog of course could not walk and even his mother Sarah did not want him．His first owner Michael Johnson also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of killing him．But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him．She decided to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself．She called him “Faith”．

　　In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard(滑板)to let him feel the movement… Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure(誘惑)and reward for him for standing up and jumping around．Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk．Amazingly, after only six months, Faith learned to balance on his legs and jump to move forward．After further training in this snow, he could now walk like a person．

　　Faith loves to walk around now．Wherever he goes, he attracts people's attention．He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows．A book named With a Little Faith is now being published about him．He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies．

　　Jude Stringfellow, his present owner, has stopped working and plans to take him around the world to tell people “that even without a perfect body, one can have a strong will(意志)”．

　　Faith is a good example of the strong will and wonder of life．In life there are always unpleasant things．So, in order to feel better, you just need to look at life from another direction．I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day．

　　Matt Mason has seen the future—and it’s fun．Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning．He shows a hard floor cleaning system (系統(tǒng)) that’s built into the wall： it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum (吸塵器) ．Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop (用拖把擦) it up．“This may trouble you,” says Kara, an expert in Mason’s company．“But you can program it to come on at 3 a ．m, and it will just wet － mop the floor for you．”

　　When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax．“More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,” he says．“A new system will be built in the house which can recycle energy (能量) lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm．”

　　Ever wonder why a 1.9－meter man and a 1.6－meter woman have to cook meals on counters (工作臺) of the same height．“The height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,” says Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines．“But times have changed．We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want．” At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT’s Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home．After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics．
