E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus (病毒)called “Meissa” that disguises 　itself as an “important message” from a friend.

Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer experts said on Monday.

The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly the next first work day by making computers send off dozens of E-mails containing the virus. Although the virus had no long-lasting damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching.

Michael Vatis, a senior US official said military(军事的)and government computers were damaged, along with thousands of the other institutions’ systems.

The body of E-mail message says, “Here is what you ask for…” once the user opens it, the virus digs into the user’s address book and sends out messages to the first 50 addresses. The reason the virus spread so rapidly is that you’re getting it from people you know and trust. So anyone who gets an unexpected E-mail with the “Important Message” subject line is advised not to open it and to delete(删除)it immediately.

Plants need green leaves to make food. A plant needs sunlight and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)from the air for making food and it also needs water and salts from the soil to make food too. There are certain cells (细胞) in the leaves which change carbon dioxide and water into sugar. To do this the cells needs energy, which they get from the sunlight.

Green leaves make food for the whole plant. A red leaf can make food too because under the red coloring of the leaf there are food--making cells. There are no leaves which are completely yellow, for they can't make food.

The plant makes sugar for its food. In sunlight green leaves make a lot of sugar. The veins (叶脉) can't carry all this sugar away, so the leaves change the sugar into starch (淀粉)， which is kept and so stored in the leaves. At night, the starch changes back to sugar. It is then carried away from the leaves. Some of the sugar is used as food by the plant while the rest is stored as starch. In some plants, food is stored in the roots, in others it is stored in the stem (茎) and in leaves, fruits and seeds.
