W: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the 1ast incident.
M: Hey,he's just a playful little beast. He likes to bark a little,and his bark is worse than his bite. Just feed him a can of dog food a day,and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish.
[Oh]And then,take him for a walk around the block.
W: Well,how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise?Wouldn't that work?
M: Ah,and then,he likes to watch the 3:00 soap opera on Channel 4[What?]…and brush his teeth after you give him some doggie treats around 4:00. And,then brush his fur for about twenty minutes. He tends to shed this time of year.
[Ah,what?]And then scratch him around the ears. Otherwise,he feels neglected.
W: Man,you really pamper your dog. Is that it?
M: Well,and then there's Claws.
W: Claws?Who's Claws?
M: Oh,he's the cat we adopted from the animal shelter,but he's a little temperamental.
W: What do you mean“temperamental”?
M: Well,he has mood swings[Mood swings?],but he's been doing better since he's been going to the animal therapist. So,be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day[What?A therapist…],and don't forget to put on some soft classical music during his nap time at 2:40 P. m. But don't let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor's dog.
W: You have some high-maintenance animals.
M: Not really. And,don't forget to change the cat 1itter daily,or he might have an accident on the carpet.
[Oh,great. ]And finally,there's Buttercup.
W: Buttercup?Who's Buttercup…?I'm afraid to ask.
M: Ah,she's a sweetie[What?]…if you know how to handle her right.
[Oh,great. ]Wait. Let me get her for you. Here you are.
W: That's…That's a snake…[Hold her. ]That's a big snake with big fangs. Does the snake go to a therapist,too?
M: Of course not…just an anger-management class.
W: Oh!What?
M: I'm joking. Buttercup is a very docile creature,and she never bites anyone she likes. If she doesn't. you'll know because she starts hissing and staring at you…. kind like what she's doing now.
W: Well,I'm leaving. You must be going out of your mind to think I'm going to watch a zoo full of misunderstood animals. You'd better hire some professional help'cause I wouldn't watch them even if you paid me a million dollars.

The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take our money from their accounts.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment.
Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
