　　WASHINGTON - Considering the serious warnings lately about Internet viruses (病毒), users may be tempted (＝make sb. want to do sth. that especially is wrong) to unplug their machines just to keep them safe. In reality, common sense and a few basic tips can keep Internet surfers secure (＝safe).

　　Antivirus software is a must, and it should be updated (＝make sth. more modern or add new things to it) at least once a week to recognize newly released (释放的) viruses.

　　People with broadband Internet connections should also have a firewall. These protect the computer from attacks by hackers (黑客).

　　Then it is time to think about computer habits. Unlike old viruses, which spread only through shared diskettes (软盘), the Internet brings viruses straight to the e-mail box. If an e-mail with attachment comes from an unknown sender, or unexpectedly from a known sender, it should not be opened.

　　On receipt (回执) of an unexpected attachment from a friend, experts suggest a telephone call to make sure of the mail's source before opening.

1．Why should antivirus software be updated at least once a week?

[　　]

A．Because the newly published antivirus software is more expensive.

B．Because the previous (先前的) antivirus software cannot work any longer.

C．Because the inventors of viruses have suggested this idea.

D．Because computer viruses are always developing.

2．Which of the following is suggested by computer experts?

[　　]

A．Don't rush to open any e-mail attachment.

B．Never open any e-mail attachment.

C．It's always safe to open an e-mail attachment from a friend.

D．Whenever you receive an e-mail, you should make a call to make sure whom it comes from.

3．Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?

[　　]

A．Something can be done to keep our computers safe.

B．Even an e-mail attachment coming from a friend may not be safe to open.

C．We should unplug our computers to defend ourselves from viruses.

D．Antivirus software made in some yeas ago is hard to protect today's computers.

It is men’s nature to live together in families and tribes(部落), and cities and nations, and therefore men have learned to prize those qualities in each other which make social life the happiest and best.
Of these qualities one of the most important is sympathy－fellow-feeling. If a man had no fellow-feeling, we should call him “inhuman”; he would be no true man. We think so much of this quality that we call a kind man “human”－that is, man-like in his conduct, first to other men, and afterwards to all living things.
If you are cruel to animals, you are not likely to be kind or thoughtfull to men; and if you are thoughtful towards men, you are not likely to be cruel and thoughtful towards animals. This is why the wise man of old wrote, “The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”
What a pleasure it is also to be loved by our pets or domestic animals; and to feel that we are caring for them and are deserving of their love; or to watch the ways of wild creatures, and gradually to make friends with them!
Treating animals kindly does not mean that we must never inflict any pain on them. We ourselves are trained by pains as well as by pleasures; so too, punishment is sometimes needed to train our dogs and horses to obey us. We endure pains at the hands of the surgeon, to cure some wound or to heal some disease; so too, animals must submit to being doctored.
We send out our bravest men to face wounds, sickness and death, for the good of the nation; so too, we let our horses share the risk of battle. For similar reasons, we cannot hesitate to destroy dangerous creatures like wolves and show senseless ferocity(残忍). It is no excuse to say that these animals deserve to be treated cruelly on account of their own cruelty. They are not really cruel, for they tear and kill not from love of unkindness, but because they must do so in order to live.
