　　A Faithful(忠實的) Dog

More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.

One day the Prince wanted to go hunting(打獵) with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle(搖籃), which was like a small bed.

When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged(搖) his tail(尾巴) and jumped up to put his paws( 手爪 )on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood(血) on Gelert's jaws(顎) and head.

"What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.

"So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword(劍) and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed(設法) to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.

　　因特網的歷史

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (因特網), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (網絡) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系統) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information(信息)could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government (政府), but in the early 1970s, universities (大學), hospitals and banks (銀行) were allowed (允許) to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software (軟件) that made "surfing" (瀏覽) the Internet more convenient (方便).

Today it is easy to get on-line (上網) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail (電子郵件) is more and more popular among students.
