文化交流 I. Caught in the Web 破坏性极强的“震荡波”病毒肆虐全球，而其制造者竟只有十八岁。 From doctors in Hong Kong to bankers in Finland and coastguards in Britain, the name Seven Jaschan means trouble. It was this 18-years-old Ger man boy who invented a deadly computer program that made their machines turn off. His Sasser（震荡波）"worm" attacked computer systems through the Internet, slowing down emergency（紧急情况）services, as well as postal and banking services in dozens of countries. However, it seems that Jaschan didn't mean to cause headaches for millions of personal computer users. According to reports, the shy boy may have been trying to help his mother's struggling computer business. After he was arrested（逮捕）on May 7,Jaschan told the police that he was trying to write an anti virus（反病毒）program that would fight viruses such as Mydoom. But in the end, he gave in to pressure from his schoolmates and produced a more dangerous program. Sven Jaschan, the18- year-old German boy who created computer trouble. Peer pressure is one of the reasons why many teenagers write viruses, according to American computer security researcher Sarah Gordon, who is a world expert on the psychology（心理）of virus writers. "Teenagers often become virus writers because they see creating such programs as a technical challenge," she said. Few professional（专业的）programmers would share the view that writing a virus is difficult. But for a teenager just becoming familiar with computers, simply finding a virus writing kit（工具箱）and creating a working program is a challenge. Meanwhile, others produce viruses as an act of protest（抗议）,using them to make a political point or ask questions about the freedom of information. Whatever their reasons, most of these teenagers have no idea what they are doing can affect the wider world. "They do not connect the impact（影响）of what they do on a computer with the impact on another person," Gordon said. "However, once they realize that il can have an impact on other people, most of them grow out of it and stop." HELP give in to pressure：向压力低头peer n.同龄人challenge n.挑战have no idea：不知道affect v.影响up to：最后 If they get caught, though, the punishment can be heavy.

Ⅱ.Then please read the following passage and try to guess the new expressions arising from the internet. Here is a fellow chatter says on internet : …"So, I was out surfing the Web. You know, lurking in a MUD, reading my favourite ezines, and I met this girl in a chat room. We both blabbed away, talking about her homepage and how many hits it got. The next thing you know. this newbie logs on and starts to ask us questions like "What's the difference between a server and a provider?" "Do I have to pay for shareware?" and "Are you really there, or are you a bot? "It was OK for a while as I am into Netiquette and all that. Luckily, he hit the road and we could continue our gab. Anyway, we started talking about download time and bandwidth. She said she thought that things would never change; it just took so long for something to trickle through her modem. I told her that one of the frustrating things about the Net was when I got into VRML and it was such a bandwidth hog that I went to sleep just waiting for it to pop-up on my tube… Hello, excuse me? I don't get it. Please wait and help me. OK, let's take a look at the above in a simplified way: …So, I was out surfing the Web (spending time using the Internet).You know lurking (being in an interactive environment without writing any thing) in a MUD (Multi user dungeon, where many people gather to play games, have discussions, study and so on), reading my favourite ezines (similar to a magazine an ezine is "published" on the Internet. One of my favourites is Hotwired), and I met this girl (a female user of the Internet) in a chat room (an at the moment area where you can speak with other Internet users). We both blabbed (talked) away, talking about her homepage (a person's private page on the Internet) and how many hits (visits by other Web users) it got. The next thing you know, this newbie (someone new to the Internet) logs on (enter the chat area) and starts to ask us questions like "What's the difference between a server (the computer that provides the space for homepages and other Internet addresses) and a provider (the service that provides the connection from your home to the Internet)?""Do I have to pay for shareware (software available on the Internet for download and free use for a limited time before buying)?" and "Are you really there, or are you a bot (a kind of software that performs a certain task on a Network)?"It was OK for a while, as I am into Netiquette (being polite on the Net) and all that. Luckily, he hit the road (left) and we could continue our gab (discussion). Anyway, we started talking about download time (the time it takes to get something from the Net onto your computer) and bandwidth (the amount of data a connection is able to transfer).She said she thought that things would never change; it just took so long for something to trickle (to flow slowly; usually used with water) through her modem (the hardware used to connect to the net).I told her that one of the frustrating things about the Net was when I got into VRMI.(a three dimensional kind of Internet page) and it was such a bandwidth hog (a page or program that requires a lot of data to be downloaded before use) that I went to sleep just waiting for it to pop-up (appear) on my tube (computer monitor or screen)… Now someone said to you:" it's OK to Say I'm a Geek, just Don't Call Me a Nerd !"
