There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays. However, to many computer users, this use of electronic spare to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult.Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a “spammer.” A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information. Spammers find e-mail addresses from websites, newsgroups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other. Most spam is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products. Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or services for a fair price. These companies can offer their products at a cheaper price than you might find in a store. However, much of the spare on the Internet is sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide. They are only interested in stealing your money. When you answer their spare you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift. One country in Africa has become famous for the number of criminals who try every known trick to separate people from their money.41.

Country music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like “Hey Porter” “Ring of Fire” , and “Folsom Prison Blue”.Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He has a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar(疤痕) on his cheek? Its a bullet hole, of course !In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is “Mr. Tough (violent)Guy”. Hes an ex-drug addict(上瘾者)who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that - a story. True, years ago he had a “ drug habit” for a short time. He “popped” pills. But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs. Sometimes hed go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence. Theres no Indian blood in his veins. Hes been a killer only in song. As for the“ bullet hole” , its an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).People who know Johnny Cash well say hes a “ gentle guy”, a “generous guy” - anything but a “tough guy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the “Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the“ bullet hole”, simply got started. Now there s little the singer can do to change people s minds. “They just want to believe it,” he says.44.

A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blues rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as 16 800 for it.48.Over a century ago, Mauritius _.A. was an independent countryB. belonged to IndiaC. was one of the British coloniesD. was a small island in the Pacific Ocean49. The mistake on the stamps was made _.A. in MauritiusB. at Mauritius Government HouseC. in a post officeD. in London50. Stamp collectors have paid 16 800 for _.A. fourteen One Penny Orange-RedsB. twelve Two Penny BluesC. one One Penny Orange-RedD. one Two Penny BlueDWhats your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? Its true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Massai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is responsible for tourism, or “ ethical tourism” “Ethical tourism” has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the peoples lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while were abroad, we can :Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Avoid flaunting wealth.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape!Lets enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.51.

Coral mining, industrial pollution and poisonous agricultural run off all play a role in their destruction, but the fishermen have been the worst offenders. They not only bomb fish but also poison them with cyanide, an equally destructive practice. The fishermen are also among the biggest potential victims (受害者).Two thirds of Indonesia s 7,000 coastal villages are close to coral reefs and thus depend for their livelihood on the harvest of reef fish. The disappearing reefs are already leading to a dramatic decline in the productivity of coastal fisheries and to increasing fights among fishermen.Indonesias reefs are vast they cover 51,000 square kilometers, surround 17,500 islands and stretch 3,500 kilometers but they are not infinite. Many foreign experts and Indonesians fear that the regions entire marine environment could be seriously damaged if the reefs keep dying at their present rate. “The overall picture is depressing, says Ian Dutton, Indonesian director of an environmental group Depressing, but not hopeless.Despite the destruction, environmentalists have in recent years made significant progress in changing the hearts and minds of the fishermen. Working closely with local Indonesian authorities in North Sulawesi and less populated eastern Indonesia, where most of the country s reefs are located, they have succeeded in preventing destructive: fishing practices and coral mining from overwhelming the reefs.Increasing numbers of fishermen are waking up to the threat and protecting the life - sustaining coral before its too late. Nuhung, a 56-year-old fisherman, says, “I always knew blast fishing was harmful. Then I suddenly realized that by bombing the reefs I was destroying no
