I have a very busy life with no time to【3】 feeling sorry for myself. 【4】 going to the movies and football matches with my friend, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets 【5】 takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied(依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求) of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

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 causes no serious damage to a computer，its effect was 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 spreadsheet(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

B. under cover of a message needing immediate attention

C. under the clothes of an important e-mail

D. with a beautiful coat

【2】The Melissa virus made a computer _____________________.

A. receive tens of bad e-mails

B. fire at many sick e-mail messages

C. send out scores of infected messages

D. burn with a fire because of many infected e-mails

【3】After the attack by the Melissa virus a computer ________________.

A. was slightly damaged

B. became entirely out of order

C. could not send out any e-mail any longer

D. would have to be thrown away

【4】If you opened an infected file by Melissa virus，the virus would ______________.

A. damage the user’s address book at once

B. soon spread through the user’s list of address

C. let the first 50 addresses go out of the computer

D. change the user’s address book in the computer

Dear editor,

I am Evan from Canada. Being the oldest child in the family has its disadvantages. First of all, I have to share all my toys with my young sisters. Of course, they don't need to return to the favor because I'm total uninterested in their things. Besides, they are always hanging around me. I just can't get moment's peace. At meals, I have to eat whichever is on the plate regardless of the taste. My sisters only try one bite if it's not our favorite food. In addition, when it comes to practice our musical instruments, I have to practice more than double the time. Worst of all, I got a larger quantity of housework. Comparing to them, I'm feeling rather annoyed. Can you please give me some advices?

Yours truly,

Evan Smith
