Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent （具备智能的）。 They will help shoppers find cups or toilet soap， and keep a record of the bill. The touch-screen devices （触摸屏装置） are on show at the Food Marketing Institute's exhibition here this week. "These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker，" said Michael Alexandor， manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc.， which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge. Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device， IBM's "shopping buddy，" has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts. Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart， but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy， not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf. "The whole model is driven by advertisers' need to get in front of shoppers，" said Alexandor. "They're not watching 30-second TV ads anymore." People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store， a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system （系统） that will organize the trip around the store. If you're looking for toothpicks， you type in the word or pick it from a list， and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them. The devices also keep a record of what you buy. When you're finished， the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay. The new computerized shopping assistants don't come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $160，000， and the Concierge will cost stores about $500 for each device.

When Lew Alcindor was 13，and obviously still growing， a group of schools began offering him scholarships （奖学金） . The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy， a small school on Manhattan?s West Side. At Power， Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue， a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student， the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year， when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall， Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season. From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches （对方教练）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop （棒棒糖）， Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups （擦板球）. Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand， to the delight of the fans. When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely， Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press， and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups， perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape， Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself，” Donohue warned him， “but because you?re a basketball player. Don?t forget that.”
