Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright red spots crossing the computers screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of (除去) by computer viruses. Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses. Its said that the computer viruses were made by two or three Philippine young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. The kind of computer viruses is named I Love You virus. This virus can hide in computers for long. When the time comes it will attack the computers by lowering the important functions, damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of a great deal of information which operators of the computers often use or store, whats worse, it still can reproduce itself in great quantities within a short time.We come to know that I Love You virus often attacks computers on Mondays and that it is spreading to many computers in the world.

However, the name America had nothing to do with him. There was another European explorer who reached this continent several years after Columbus. This mans name was Amerigo Vespucci, and he called this land a New World. Amerigo Vespucci and Columbus had many in common. Like Columbus, Vespucci was an Italian who settled in Spain. Like Columbus, Vespucci made several trips to the New World, his first trip being in 1499. In 1505, several letters thought to have been written by Vespucci were published. One of these letters said that “Vespucci found a new continent with more people and more animals than in Europe, Asia and Africa”. Just at that time, a man named Waldseemuller was writing a geography book. He suggested that the continent be named “America” after Amerigo Vespucci. His idea was quickly accepted, and so the name began to be used.( )55.

CYour body, which had close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment（营养）.The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not as silly as some people think.The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form（丸剂）, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesnt need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modern western world, many people are too busy to about eat properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly.
