　　One evening after dinner, Mr．and Mrs．Bond called a family meeting．“We've had to make a 　　1　　 decision,”Mr．Bond announced．“You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a TV station in Chicago．　　2　　, the station is not here．After 　　3　　 long and hard about it, we've 　　4　　 that the right decision is to move to Chicago．”

　　Marc looked 　　5　　, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they'd be moving．“It's surprising but exciting!”she said．Marc simply said,“I can't leave my 　　6　　．I'd rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”

　　The Bonds hoped that by the time they moved to Chicago in August, Marc would grow more 　　7　　 the idea of leaving．However, he showed no 　　8　　 of accepting the decision, refusing to 　　9　　 his belongings．

　　　　10　　 the morning of their move, Marc was nowhere to be found．His parents called Tommy-Lyons' house, but Mrs．Lyons said she hadn't seen Marc．Mrs．Bond became increasingly 　　11　　 while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so 　　12　　．

　　What they didn't know was that Marc had started to walk over to Tommy's house with a faint idea of 　　13　　 in Lyons' attic(阁楼)for a few days．But as he walked along, all the 　　14　　 landscape of his neighbourhood 　　15　　 him of the things he and his family had done together; the green fence he and his mother had painted; the trees he and his sister used to 　　16　　 while playing hide-and-seek; the park 　　17　　 he and his father often took walks together．How much would these 　　18　　without his family, who made them special in the first place?Marc didn't take the 　　19　　 to answer that question but instead, he hurried back to his house, 　　20　　 if there were any boxes the right size to hold his record collection．

　　When I opened my E-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm(热情)．Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss．She was reading to me an E-mail from my brother．It was pretty cool．

　　Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail．Facemail lets you send E-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown(小丑)．The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www．facemail．com．

　　Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模仿)emotions based on emotions-for example, type in：-X, and Rachel blows a kiss．

　　Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure that facemail has broad business uses．The reason E-mail is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch．But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale?And wouldn't it feel better when the kids get back from school but Mom can't be back and she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat?

　　Facemail could get hot fast．Personally, I'm a fan．But Facemail should be used with care．The clown looks lively and funny at first．But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an E-mail and add some angry emotions, you've got Psycho-mail(疯人性电子邮件)．
