The storeowner 11 , "No, you don"t want to buy that little dog. 12 you really want him, I"II just
give him to you. "
The little boy got quite 13 . He looked straight into the storeowner"s eyes and said, "I don"t want

price. In fact I"ll give you $ 2. 37 now, and 50 cents a month

this 19-year-old Swede is anything but ordinary from the computer in his parents" home
he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) find out the world"s most wanted
cybercriminals
Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found
out the maker of the " Melissa" virus(病毒)in March 1999. He came to the aid of the
FBI again on May 7,finding out the suspected (嫌疑) sender of the dangerous"I LOVE
YOU" virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.
Jonathan"s special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at

referring his younger brother"s football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives
lessons on e-security(电子安全) to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges
information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the
hacker(黑客) trade.
Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the
moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in. the autumn at Sweden"s Uppsala
University and start up his own security company.
Although he works with the FBI now and then, his family insists he"s just "a regular
kid". Jonathan is a great kid, he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with
the computer, his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because "He likes
to help" , not because he"s looking for fame and recognition.
When the world was hit by the" Love Bug" virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a
speech on e-security to look into the problem. "Finally on May 7,I had some free time,
so I "began looking. " Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e-mailed his
method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the" Melissa" virus, which took three
weeks to solve was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.
"This time I knew exactly where to start. I knew what to disregard and what to look at. "

C. many compaiues want the young computer expert to join m
D. any cybercriminal will surely be found out wherever they are
B. his work together with Fredrik Bjoerck to find out the maker of the "Melissa" virus

about thirty to forty hours a week during the summer. Most of the time I spent there 2 with Mr
Cillespie. He never had any 3 , and nobody seemed to care about his 4 .
I spent many days there _ 5 his hand and talking to him, helping with 6 that needed to be done.
He became a close friend of mine, 7 he responded with only an occasional 8 of my hand. Mr
Gillespie was m a coma(昏迷).
I left for a week to 9 with my parents, and when I came back, Mr Gillespie was gone. I didn"t
have the 10 to ask any of the nurses where he was, 11 fear they might tell me he had died. So with
many 12 unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year. 13 years later,
when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a 14 face. When I realized
who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was 15 ! I asked if he was Mr Gillespie. With an 16
look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him and that I had spent many hours talking with
him in the hospital. Tears 17 up in his eyes, and he gave me the warmest bug I had ever 18 .
Then he told me about his life and what 19 of him to put him in the coma. We cried for a while
and exchanged a bug, said our goodbyes and went our 20 ways.

| I had my first job at the age of thirteen,when a friend of my mother"s who owned a bookshop 1 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 2 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 3_ interfered(干涉) with how I spent it,even when I was spending it 4 . They believed that by eaming money, spending it, and leaming from the_5__ ,1 would become more mature (成熟的) and 6 about how to handle work,relationships with others , and money. Like many _7 parents,my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 8 a great deal. When I was sixteen,for example,after I finished high school and before I entered university,l wanted to spend the summer months travelling around 9 .My mother was against the idea of my travelling alone at such a young age,but my father felt that it would be a great 10 for me. In the end,my father won the 11 0n the condition that I limited my travelling to France,my mother"s home,where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 13 through the country who could 12 shelter and help if I needed them. Three years later,my younger brother decided to _14 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again niy mother was very worried and not 15 to see my brother leave school,but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) _16 year working his way on trains and ships to 17passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people. These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 18 . Most parents start 19 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves.By the time they have finished high school,many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own,have 20 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career,and so on. | |||

| Patricia asked for the cheapest car available at Acme Car Rental. She needed a car for 48 hours. Because it was the weekend,there was only one car available at the moment-an SUV. Patricia was an environmentalist. SUVs,which are big cars consuming a lot of gasoline,offended her greatly. But she needed something to get to Baker,a town that was 100 miles from the small airport. So she went, RentMe instead. "I need a car for 48 hours," she said," and I don"t want an SUV. I want something cheap. "They told her they had just the vehicle for her,a 1998Toyota. Thirty dollars a day,including insurance and other incidental fees. All she had to do was to pay forher own gasoline. Patricia was very pleased. Thirty dollars a day was a good rate even for a weekday. She signed all the paperwork,and they gave her the keys. The Toyota was a 4-speed,4-cylinder,2-door beauty,the paint,tires,and the interior were like the new. It was comfortable, even though the air-conditioner was not the frostiest(结霜的) . She got in and drove north. It was a two-lane road all the way to Baker,with only one town between the airport and Baker. That town was Noms,40 miles from Baker. Patricia didn"t make it to Norris. The car refused to run 30 minutes after she had been driving it. Fortunately,her cell phone was able to connect back to the RentMe desk. "My car stopped running. and I"m out here in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun! " she said. "That doesn"t make any sense," said the clerk."You did put gas in the car before you left town, didn"t you? " "No. Of course not ! " yelled Patricia. " Why would Iput gas in the car before I even got out of town?" "Well,why do you think you got such a good rate-we save money by having the customer gas up instead of us having to put gas in the car. " "I was in a hurry,"said Patricia. "Well,sometimes you pay a price for being in a hurry," said the clerk. " We"II send a man out with some spare gas for you:if you"d like. ,," Of course l"d like , " said Patria.ia. " How long willit be?" The clerk told her it would be within the hour. He didn"t tell her that there would be a $ 50 service charge for delivering the gas,or that the 3 gallons of fuel would cost her $ 7 a gallon. She would get that bad news when she retumed the car to the airport. | |||
