James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.” he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay his education. As a second-year students, in the Big Ten Games 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten Meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he gives up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later, “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until1976,four years before his death.
Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later, “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over these years,” he once said, “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

A branch of computer science called artificial intelligence（人工智能）uses programs that help solve problems by using human knowledge and experience. Artificial intelligence systems are also called expert systems, which enable computers programmed
with great amounts of information to “think” about many possibilities such as disease that certain symptoms（症状）could indicate and make a decision for the treatment.
Computers are used in teaching as well. Programs that perform computer-aid instruction(CAI计算机辅助教学)are designed to help students at all levels, from elementary school to the university level. The student sit at a computer terminal（终端）.The terminal’s screen displays a question for the student to answer. If the answer is wrong or incomplete, the computer may ask the student to try again. It then may supply the correct answer and an explanation. CAI is used in some adult education programs and as part of the employee-training programs of some business companies.
One of most important use of computers is to communicate information over long distances. They can send information to each other over telephone lines. As a result, computers keep banks, newspapers, and other institutions supplied with up-to-the-minute information. A computer network consists of many computers in separate rooms, buildings, cities, or counties, all connected together. Computer networks all people to communicate by using electronic mail-document typed into one computer and “sent ” to another. Such documents generally travel in only a few minutes, even if they are being sent over a long distance.
The computer’s ability to share information with other computers over a network lined by telephone lines is a major revolution in telecommunications（电讯）.The internet, an international network of computer networks, has spread out since the early 1990’s.The Internet began as a US network of scientific and military computers in the 1960’s. Now it is an international system for sending and receiving electronic mail, software, and electronic document and picture files all over the world. The Internet has already cut the cost of long-distance communication for many people. In the future it will completely change the way people work . With the Internet, increasing numbers of people can work at home instead of in their office.
Computers and their programs are the complex devices in human history, and probably the most useful. Modern industrial societies now depend on them. As computer become more powerful and widespread, computer education must continue to increase also.
