In 1992, I had just launched a new business called Video News International.

It was the world's first video journalist network. The idea was to cover news and sell the service to news organizations.

One day, a young intern (實(shí)習(xí)生) who was working for us named Anthony Lappe pulled me aside.

"There is something you have to see," he told me. "Comcast is doing this really cool thing."

"What?"

"The Internet," he said. "It's going to be really big."

Anthony later introduced me to the head of the Internet project.

"We are looking for content to put on our network here," the guy said to me.

Well, I said I had lots of content to offer.

The guy's eyes lit up. "Cool," he said. "We would like to put it on our network."

Well, I was always looking for new clients.

"What are you going to pay?" I asked.

He said that they could not pay anything for the content, but they would set up a URL for me.

"What's that?" I asked.

"It's kind of like your address on the web."

"What would I do with this URL thing?"

"Well, it could be your business."

"I don't see how it is a business, and there's not even any advertising," I cleverly replied.

"Not yet," he said. "But one day there might be."

I thought about it for two seconds.

"Naah..." I said. "I've got bigger fish to fry. I've got to be going now. Maybe we can cooperate next time."

And I walked out.

Idiot!

Well, that Internet thing turned out to be so much bigger than I had thought. I wish I had never made such a mistake. Sorry Anthony. You were right.

The name might sound like that of a superhero, but Pooperman’s task is much more basic.

He, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of Lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets.

Pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. The typed notes read, "Don’t leave it. You might be the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way."

While welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on Pooperman for producing even more rubbish.

They say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish problem. The city of Lincoln government’s environmental officer, Tony Garner, said, "The public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it."

"If this doesn’t work we can take action — people can tell us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the waste."

"We can then focus our patrols(巡邏) and take action against irresponsible owners."

Sue Grace, a dog owner from Birchwood, Lincs, said, "I always clean up after my dog. It’s very irresponsible if you don’t."

"There’s nothing worse than stepping in dog waste or dragging your long lead through it, but I don’t know that putting notes on it is the answer."

"It’s good that the local government is fighting against dog waste, though it might take one or two prosecutions(起訴) to make any difference."

1.What does Pooperman try to do?

A.To have irresponsible dog owners remove dog waste.

B.To advise the local government to protect the environment.

C.To praise responsible dog owners for protecting the environment.

D.To remind the local government to deal with the dog waste problem.

2.What does the underlined part "rounded on" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Punished. B.Blamed.

C.Laughed at. D.Worried about.

3.According to the environmental officer, the public can .

A.punish irresponsible dog owners when necessary

B.report irresponsible dog owners to the police if possible

C.force irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste in some way

D.request irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste then and there

4.The dog owner Sue Grace believes that .

A.the local dog owners are irresponsible

B.Pooperman is responsible and doing an effective job

C.the law may play a role in fighting against dog waste

D.the local government’s fighting against dog waste is successful
