“You are always playing on that computer. You spend more time with this machine than with your family,” she said with a smile. “What’s so special (特别的) about it? Show me what it can do!”

Tom was very excited. “I think this is a very good computer, Mum!” he said happily. “There’s so much memory (内存) and it has some wonderful software programs. This game, Dragonsplayer, is my favorite, but I sometimes borrow games from Danny and other friends. I don’t have to worry about any infected (被感染的) disks（磁盘）because I have a virus (病毒) detector (监测器) which can go over any disk and check it for viruses .Let me show you!” Tom began tapping (敲打) keys on the keyboard (键盘). The screen changed in answer to his orders (命令).

“Oh, Tom,” laughed Mrs. White, “I’m sure it’s a wonderful computer, but I’m afraid I don’t know what you’ re talking about.”
