Technology
When faced with some new and possibly bewildering technological change, most people react in one of two ……….(1). They either recoil from anything new, claiming that it is unnecessary, or too complicated or that it somehow makes life less than ……….(2). Or they learn to …………(3) to the new invention, and eventually………..(4) how they could possibly have existed without it. Take computers as an example. For many of us, they still represent a ……….(5) to our freedom, and give us a frightening sense of a future in which all ……….(6) will be taken by machines. This may be because they seem mysterious, and diffcult to understand. Ask most people what you can use a home computer for, and you usually get ……….(7) answers about how ‘they give you information’.

When they returned home later the same day, they found that their car brought back and was parked in its common place outside their house. Under one of the windscreen wiper was a small envelope.
They quickly opened it and found a note to apologize profusely for "borrowing" their car. The man who wrote it explained that he didn't have the car itself, and his wife had gone into labour in the middle of the night with their first baby. So he hoped they wouldn't mind too much that he had taken their cars without their permission in order to run her to the hospital as it was anything of an emergency.
