Ero Carrera is watching the computer screen in a lab in California as he tracks a new computer virus slowly circling the globe, targeting cell phones. Working from the US office of the Finnish computer   1   firm, Carrera knows this virus could be the start of something big and   2  . He’s one of a couple of hundred “virus hunters” worldwide who guard computers and cell phones from   3  . That’s the job for these unlikely action heroes of the Internet age, where quick and curious minds are more important than strong   4  .

    Carrera works with Tzvetan Chaliavski to form the two-man team in California.

    Carrera has created a mathematical formula(公式), to   8   easily the software structure of viruses. With it, he is better able to compare the many variants(变种) and families of malware(恶意软件). To his   9  , Chaliavski, it doesn’t even matter why someone would create a virus. All that   10   is the hunt.

Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with  41 —an gang (团伙)problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often   42  trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day   43   .
Those fun trips had a(n) 44 impact. A chance encounter(偶遇) in 2000 proved that. One day,  45 working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys   46  .He sensed trouble between them.  47  one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.” I  48  you. You took me    49  when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the  50  days of my life .”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation（基金会）that  51 teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw  52 there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging  53 on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he  54 to present an alternative way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a  55 ,”he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such  56 can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer（同龄人）pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who  57 the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother  58 drugs.”
Moody faces   59  in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.” I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my   60  to give back,” Moody says.” If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”

On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.

During his talk, Jack   41   his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?”   42   shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would   43  . But I jumped up, ran up the   44   to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air,   45  raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they   46   security guards and take me from the stage?    47   my desire for bold （大胆的）action was louder than any   48  voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the   49   to come to us. We must take    50    to create what we want!’’

After his talk, I   51   to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails   52   my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy   53  other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.

A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.

I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no   54  . As I sat down at my computer to 55   my e-mails, I  56   woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely   57   that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.

Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We   58   believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n)   59   way. So we don’t try. We  60  . But as Wayne Gretzky said，“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.

We are always told that TV is not good for us. If it is true, how come the TV-addicted kids of our young generation nowadays are much smarter than we are? In my family, the only persons who can work the TV remote control well are the children.

Probably TV really educates us. For example, we can learn a very useful medical fact: A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying. “The killer was…” (dies)

But I suppose the biggest things that we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things simply happen on either stormy or dark nights. Emotional breakdowns make people wander in the heavy rain without raincoats or umbrellas. And contrary to the scientists, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash come on at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.

I’ve even got to know useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens only speak the language of English no matter which planet they come from.

To make good use of something that we learn from TV can make our security better. Consider these truths. When you are really attacked by 20 bad guys, you needn’t worry about your being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.

TV often teaches us a lot of important information as well about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.

Be warned, however, if your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.

TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.

1. When the writer says “A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying” (Paragraph 2), he shows his________.

A. humor            B. sympathy          C. deep concern        D. medical knowledge

2. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world________.

B. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights

C. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas

D. you can’t hear the crack of lightning and see the accompanying flash exactly at the same time

3. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?

A. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.

B. The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.

C. The news shown is always about someone the person knows.

D. TV always shows news about famous people.

4. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Life skills can be learned from TV.

B. What happens in TV is quite different from reality.

C. Watching TV makes people more creative.

D. TV plays an important role in society.
