The doctors couldn， t work out what was wrong with the men until they found out the three men were all cooks, and they had just shared a dish of fugu （河 豚）.Fugu, the Japanese name for the puffer fish, is one of the strangest fish in the ocean. The puffer fish gets its name from the way the fish keeps itself safe when it faces enemies. Whenever it is attacked, the fish blows up its body to over twice its usual size!The reason why the three men were taken to the hospital is that the puffer fish is also very poisonous. If you eat a whole puffer fish, you will probably die.The symptoms of fugu poisoning are a strange feeling around the mouth and throat, and breathing difficulty. You can' t breathe and your body can' t get any air. Your brain still works perfectly, however, so you know you are dying, but you can' t speak or do anything about it.Despite the danger of fugu poisoning, this fish is actually a very popular kind of food in Japan. Because of the danger, fugu can only be prepared by cooks with a special license （执照）from the government. These cooks are trained to identify and take out the poisonous parts of the fish.

However, there are usually not enough for each student to use one at the same time. Computers cost a lot and they also take up space in small classrooms. Laptop computers are more convenient because they need less space, and they can be carried or moved easily. However, most schools still cannot have enough money to buy them for every student.These days there are cheaper devices (设备)that are small enough to be held in one hand but are still very powerful. The development of these handheld devices is allowing more schools to bring technology into classrooms.Some of the first handheld devices were called PADs. They were used to help people in business stay well-planned. They could make lists of things to do each day, store important phone numbers, and even make files for work. Now we have smart phones and small tablets （平板电脑）.These latest devices have improved a lot since those early PDA devices. Those used in schools today can do all the things the early PDAs did and more. They can be connected to the internet, run useful programs and help in science experiments.Because handheld devices are quite cheap, schools can buy more of them. In some schools, students pay some money at the beginning of the year for a handheld device and they can get the money back at the end of the year if they return the device in good condition.In the future, schools might be able to buy computers or laptops for every student. Handheld devices are turning out to be good things to use instead until then.1.

The Problems of Modern TechnologyThe Growing Need for Modern TechnologyB.
