The Legend of King Arthur 亞瑟王傳奇
When Arthur was a baby, his father, King Pendragon, learned
that someone was planning to kill the boy. So Pendragon
gave Arthur to his friend Merlin the Magician to protect.
Shortly thereafter, Pendragon himself was killed.
Merlin then brought Arthur to a rich knight, and Arthur
grew up thinking he was his father.
It was a terrible time. The Roman Empire had fallen, and
armies in every land were fighting.
So the Archbishop of Canterbury called all the leading knights
together in front of the cathedral. There, he showed them
a large stone with a sword sticking out. On the stone was
written, "Whoever pulls the sword from this stone will
be the king of England.

窗戶風波
文嘟嘟和帥嘟嘟開始進入敵對狀態，整整一天，兩人不斷在一些小事情上做對，好不容易到了晚上睡覺的時候，誰知兩人又因?窗戶的開關問題開始吵架。最後，他們的吵鬧聲引來了嘟爺爺，但事情並沒有得到圓滿的解決。第二天，波波嘟終於從文嘟嘟那裡問出了吵架的原因……
一天晚上，睡覺的時間到了，但帥嘟嘟和文嘟嘟還在互相爭搶著什?？這時波波嘟過來斥責道：「好了，好了，你們兩個都吵了一整天了，聽得我耳朵都長繭了，你們不累，我也得休息一會兒呀！」兩個人聽後，互相『哼』了一聲就各自走開了。還沒消氣的帥嘟嘟走到窗戶前，用力地打開了窗戶，重重地吐了一口氣。
帥嘟嘟打開窗戶，剛要上床，就被波波嘟攔住了。憨厚的波波嘟問道 「哎！帥嘟嘟，窗戶是window，那打開窗戶怎?說呢？
帥嘟嘟：開窗是open the window。
波波嘟：那關窗呢？
帥嘟嘟：關窗是close the window。
波波嘟：哦，我知道了，那「開」就是「open」，「關」就是「close」。Open
the window . 開窗。Close the window. 關窗。

Man-Made Mountains
人造山峰
Asia’s binge of skyscraper construction is igniting a new
race to the top.
亞洲對摩天建築的狂熱，激起一個邁向顛峰的新競賽。
With the completion of Taipei 101, Asia’s forest of “supertalls”
– skyscrapers exceeding 300 meters in height – is growing
fast. Indeed, nineteen of the world’s 30 supertalls are in
Asia, and more are on the way. But Taipei 101’s days as the
world’s tallest building are already numbered: Shanghai’s
World Financial Center will take the top spot upon completion
in 2007.
隨著台北一○一大樓完工，亞洲的「超高建築」﹙高度超過三百公尺的摩天樓﹚正快速成長。確實，全世界三十座超高建築中裡就有十九座在亞洲，而且還有更多的摩天樓正在興建中。但是台北一○一位居全球最高建築的日子已經所剩無幾了：上海的世界金融中心在二○○七年完成後，將摘下世界最高樓的寶座。

A Necessity of Life 科技新寵
- 多功能手機
Fifty years ago, life was a far cry from what it is today.
Making a phone call required an operator, getting a photograph
taken and developed took weeks, and the only way to organize
your day was to write it on a calendar. Nowadays, cell phones
are as common as home phones, cameras digitally store hundreds
of images, and computers that hold enough information to fill
a room fit easily into the palm of your hand. Years ago, no
one could have dreamed it possible to have all three in one
device. These days, this combination of phone, camera, and
computer is on the wish list of many.
五十年前的生活和現在大不相同。以前，打電話時需要接線生轉接，從拍照到沖洗照片費時數週，規劃生活的唯一方法就是記在行事曆上。現在，手機就和家用電話一樣普遍，數位相機能儲存數百張影像，而能存取大量資料的電腦和手掌一般大。幾年前，沒有人想像得到這三種裝置能夠『三機一體』。而今，這結合了電話、相機與電腦的機種是許多人夢寐以求的。

School of Rock
搖滾教室
Substitute teachers fill in when your
regular teacher is sick. Sometimes you have them for a day
or even longer. Having a substitute teacher can be a lot of
fun. Occasionally, they are easier than your normal teacher.
Sometimes they can teach you something you didn't know or
haven't learned yet. The movie, School of Rock, is about an
interesting substitute teacher. For some, he is the substitute
teacher of their dreams. For others, he is a nightmare1.
你平日的老師生病時，就會有代理的代課老師。有時他們來代課一天，有時更久。有代課老師可能很好玩。他們偶爾比你們平日的老師更寬鬆。有時他們會教一些你所不知道的或還沒學過的東西。『搖滾教室』這部電影就是在講一位有趣的代課老師。對一些人來說，他是夢寐以求的代課老師。對另一些人來說，他則是個不折不扣的夢魘。

Are you a Procrastinator?
你總是把工作拖到最後一刻？
Manana, manana, manana! Do you always put
off until tomorrow what you can do today? Do you postpone
when you should be plowing ahead? Do you leave things on
the back burner until you get burned? Be careful, procrastinating
can be deadly to your productivity, your personal relationships,
and possibly even your career.
Procrastination gives others a bad impression of you. It
makes people feel you are irresponsible, lazy, and passive.
If you don't want others to think that you are incompetent
or unfocused, avoid coming up with every excuse in the book
as to why you can't or couldn't get something done. How
do you avoid being a procrastinator? You first have to ask
yourself these three simple questions: What are you doing
now? Why are you doing it? And for whom are you doing it?

Stories and Fables
短篇故事集
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing 披著羊皮的狼
Once upon a time, a wolf wanted to catch some sheep.
But a shepherd and his dogs were too careful. The wolf could
not get near the sheep. After a few days, the wolf sat on
a hill and looked at the sheep. One of the dogs walked over
and said, "You will not catch our sheep. Dogs are too
smart? The wolf said, "Wolves are dogs, too! But wolves
are smarterYou will see that when I catch a sheep." Later,
the wolf found a sheepskin by the road, and he thought of
a plan. The next day, the wolf dressed in the sheepskin and
walked into the field with the sheep.
好久好久以前，有一匹狼想要捉些羊兒，可是牧羊人和獵犬們都小心地看守著，使得這匹狼沒辦法接近羊群。 幾天後，這匹狼坐在山丘上看著羊群，其中一隻獵犬走過來說：「你捉不到我們的羊，狗太聰明了。」這隻狼說：「狼跟狗同類！不過狼更聰明，等我捉到羊兒後你就知道了。」
稍後，這隻狼在路上找到了一張羊皮，牠想到了一個計謀。 隔天，這匹狼披著羊皮，走進在草原上的羊群。

網站沒有告訴你的事情
從貨運公司一句我「來義鄉不送」、「大車進不去，要轉小車」，除了發現網路上告訴我可以送到「屏東」，但沒告訴我「來義鄉」不送的服務漏洞，也同時明白這麼單純的遞送書籍都如此困難，這社會存在的不不是數位落差……
客廳中一直擺著過年後整理出來兩箱大約近100公斤，打包後不需要的舊書。本來一直想把這兩箱的書捐給有需要的人。上網查遍了相關的資料，有說可以送到私立或市立圖書館，有說可以打電話給慈濟，也有網路上流傳偏遠地區的老師發出來要求捐書的E-mail。但總是有些不得其門而入，於是書也就一直擺在客廳裡放了好幾個月。
前幾天，又收到一封幫屏東原住民小朋友募書的E-mail。打了個電話確認後，決定打鐵趁熱，趕快把擱了這好幾個月的事情給辦完。上網查了「大榮貨運」和「新竹貨運」、「黑貓宅急便」以及「郵局」等四個單位的網站，很令人感動的，這些網站都建置完整，在下拉式的選單中，輸入重量，寄送地點等等，馬上就可以試算出交寄的費用；除了郵局之外，也都有到府收件的服務，甚至可以在線上預約收件及寄件的時間。
