　　Valentine’s Day just passed and it made me remember a middle school student I know who may be in love．

　　I think there are two ideas of middle school“love”．One is temptation：Girls dress beautifully and act giggly．Boys are popular and attractive．

　　Then there is the other kind：attraction that may or may not be love．The student I know is like that．She has a friend called John whom she has feelings for, but she can't decide if it’s love or friendship．In her words：

　　“I wonder whether he is my ideal boyfriend．I want someone cool and kind who holds the same values as me．He isn’t any of these．So sometimes I wonder if I'm only attracted and deciding to break up with him now．But he is attractive, and he isn’t foolish．He may not be an”A“student, but he’s intelligent and clever．I wonder if I only pity him for the hard times he has had．He knows how to make me laugh．We both sing and act．We had several classes together last year．He can be very sweet．”

　　I’m moved by this because it’s hard to find a student who has such real thoughts．It seems that everyone thinks only of how“hot”someone is, without acting more wisely．

　　For some people, Valentine’s Day might mean nothing．But for others, it could mean a lot．What about you, young man?

　　E-mail is one of the biggest threats(威胁)to your home computer．By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer．When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places．Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet“room”, a very, very big room．Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden(隐藏)in any way．As a result, others may be listening in, capturing what you send, and using it for their own good．

　　E-mail-borne viruses(病毒)often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something．By beautiful appearances, an infected(感染)E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to destroy or damage our computers．

　　There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment(附件)that you receive．You should only read a message that passes all of these tests：

　　1)The Know Test：Is the E-mail from someone that you know?

　　2)The Received Test：Have you received E-mail from this sender before?

　　3)The Expect Test：Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?

　　4)The Meaning Test：Do the topic line of the E-mail massage and the name of the attachment both have meanings?

　　5)The Virus Test：Is the E-mail infected?
