On May 21,1999, some American scientists were working at the computers to look for imformation they need . 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 by computer virus(病毒)! Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer virus.
It is said that the computer virus was made by two or three Philippine young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the virus just to show their inttligence. The kind of computer virus 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; even worse, it still can reproduce itself in great quantities within a short time. Among the countries that suffered “I Love You” virus last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the US. Till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.
1)What does the passage mainly talk about?
2)Who made the computer virus?
3)Why did they make the virus?
4)How does the virus attack the computers?
5)Which countries suffered the virus last year?

In the last 500 years, nothing about people---not their clothes, ideas, or languages---has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocalate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians.
The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very espensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brougt it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine(马铃薯饥荒)” of 1845~1846, and thousands more were forced to emigrate(移民) to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the World’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other southamerican countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.
According to an Arabic legend, coddee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.
