question: Danny lived for football. He played it, watched it, talked and dreamed about it. His favourite football star was Keith Connolly - Lowgate's captain. One day in January, after school, Danny hurried through his homework. He wanted to watch TV. Keith Connolly was doing an interview on the local news programme. Danny hoped that the television wouldn't go fuzzy*or lose the sound when Keith Connolly was talking. It was an old set, and it did things like that. It wasn't clear enough, but at last Keith Connolly's smiling face appeared on the screen. "What I really like about playing for Lowgate," he said, "is the fans. They're the best. They always support us. It's wonderful running on to the playground to all that cheering and chanting." Danny wished he could be in that crowd at the Lowgate ground, but the price of a single ticket was far above anything he could afford. There was no chance of the whole family going, or even just Danny and his little brother. "You won again on Saturday," said the reporter. "Did the team go out to celebrate?" "We went for a meal together," said Keith Connolly, "but I have to be careful about what I eat, because I want to stay fit. I love doughnuts* very much ..." Then the sound went fuzzy, and Danny jumped up and _ the top of the set heavily to make it come on again. He hadn't missed much. But he had missed something important. Keith Connolly had been saying "... but I'm not allowed to eat doughnuts." Danny hadn't heard that. All he heard was that Keith Connolly loved doughnuts. And at the end of Danny's street was a bakery*. It sold the biggest and the best doughnuts! When Danny went to bed, he lay wide-awake, making a plan.

question: (CNN) -- For Alex Zanardi, losing both legs in a life-threatening crash was only the beginning of a new chapter.

This year, the Italian racing driver, who has competed in Formula One and Indycar series, added two Paralympic gold medals and a win in the New York marathon's handcycle division to his career highlights.

Reflecting on what lies next, he says: "I have to tell you that the possibilities are not lacking in my life, and this is something for which I feel very lucky."

At school, Zanardi didn't compete in sports much, "because I was really fat as a kid."

After his sister was killed in a car crash his parents were eager to keep him off the road -- but they did allow Zanardi to race go-karts.

"I clearly remember that first day on the go-kart being the best in my life," he says.

Zanardi first raced in Formula One in 1992. After a contract with Lotus ended, he switched to Indycar racing, ultimately winning two championships.

In America he became a popular driver, making a signature move out of performing post-race donuts on the track, and earning the nickname Latka (a reference to a character in '80s sitcom "Taxi").

The crash

In 2001, Zanardi was leading in a Champ car race at Lausitzring in Germany, with 13 laps to go. But as he emerged from a final pit-stop, something went wrong.

"I lost control of the car in the acceleration lane, spun around and basically ended up ... a sitting duck in the middle of the racing line."

question: A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. By contrast, a wide area network (WAN) not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves leased telecommunication circuits or Internet links. An even greater contrast is the Internet, which is a system of globally connected business and personal computers.

Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies in use for local area networks. Historical technologies include ARCNET, Token ring, and AppleTalk.

The increasing demand and use of computers in universities and research labs in the late 1960s generated the need to provide high-speed interconnections between computer systems. A 1970 report from the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory detailing the growth of their "Octopus" network gave a good indication of the situation.

A number of experimental and early commercial LAN technologies were developed in the 1970s. Cambridge Ring was developed at Cambridge University starting in 1974. Ethernet was developed at Xerox PARC in 19731975, and filed as . In 1976, after the system was deployed at PARC, Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs published a seminal paper, "Ethernet: Distributed Packet-Switching for Local Computer Networks". ARCNET was developed by Datapoint Corporation in 1976 and announced in 1977. It had the first commercial installation in December 1977 at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York.
