About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH…!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?”
“Please, mister, please… I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb(路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”
Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE-a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software program that led to the foundation of the World Wide Web. Britain played an important part in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners-Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial(商业)computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packaging material. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980's scientists were already communicating using a primitive version of e-mail. While working at a lab in Switzerland Tim Berners-Lee wrote a program, which let him store these messages. This gave him another idea that he was going to write a program that would let academics(学术界人士)from across the world share information on a single site. In 1990 he wrote the HTTP and HTML programs, which formed the basis of the World Wide Web.
The next year his programs were placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programs used his codas to work with different operating systems. New things like web browsers and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100,000.
In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the newly World Wide Web consortium(协会), or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and labs are represented by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can participate equally on the Web.“The Web can help people to understand the way that others live and work. It helps us understand the humanity of people”he says.

[ ]

E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus（病毒）called“Melissa”that disguised（伪装）itself as an“important message”from a friend.
In spite of weekend of warnings, more than 50,000 computers at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer security experts said on Monday.
The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly on Monday by making computers fire off dozens of infected（被传染的）e-mails. Although the virus caused no serious damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching.
To make matters worse, a similar virus called“Papa”was discovered on Monday.
Papa is programmed to send out even more infected e-mails than Melissa.
The Melissa virus comes in the form of an e-mail, usually containing the subject line“Important Message”. It appears to be from a friend. The body of the e-mail message says,“Here is that document you asked for...don't show it to anyone else.”Attached（附）to the message is a document file. Once the user opens that file, the virus digs into the user's address book and sends infected documents to the first 50 addresses.
E-mails from the Papa virus include an attached spread-sheet（电子数据文件）file. When the user opens that file, the virus sends 60 infected e-mails.
The reason why this is spreading so fast is that you are getting it from people you know. You should never open documents or attachments from people you don't know. People who get an unexpected e-mail with the“important message”subject line should delete it immediately and not open the message.
（1）Thousands of computers were attacked by the Melissa virus _______ .
[ ]
A. covered with an important message

（2）The Melissa virus made a computer _______.
[ ]
A. receive tens of bad e-mail messages
B. fire at many sick e-mails

（3）After the attack by the Melissa virus a computer ________.
[ ]
A. became entirely out of order
B. could not send out any e-mail any longer
C. would have to be thrown away
D. was slightly damaged
（4）If you opened an infected file by the Melissa virus, the virus would ________.
[ ]
A. damage the user's addresses book at once
B. soon spread through the user's list of addresses
C. let the first 50 addresses go out of the computer
