READING

1 Read the interview and complete the chart.

INTERVIEWER: We hear a lot about computer viruses these days. But what exactly is a computer virus?

EXPERT: A virus is a program that “infects” computer files.

INTERVIEWER: How does it do that?

EXPERT: Well, a virus often gets to your computer in an e-mail. When you open the e-mail, the virus
copies itself and infects the computer. Then infected e-mails are sent to all of your friends. That’s how
they spread so quickly.

INTERVIEWER: Are all viruses the same?

EXPERT: No, they’re not. In fact, there are several types. For example, there are Trojan horses.

INTERVIEWER: What are they?

EXPERT: They are viruses that look like something interesting – such as a game – but then have negative
effects when they are opened.

INTERVIEWER: I see.

EXPERT: Then there are logic bombs. These damage your computer when certain conditions are met. For
example, when a certain date or time it reached, the virus is activated.

INTERVIEWER: A little like a time bomb.

EXPERT: Exactly. And there are worms. Worms just make copies of themselves, but they can use a lot of
memory and slow down your computer.

INTERVIEWER: How can we protect ourselves from viruses?

EXPERT: We should all practice good “cyber-hygiene.” You ought to install anti-virus software and avoid
opening e-mails from people that you don’t know.

Writing:

Louis Braille was born on January 4th, 1809 in Couvray, a small town near Paris. He was a very
intelligent little boy, but when he was three he had a terrible accident. He was playing with
some of his father’s tools when one of them cut his left eye. The eye became infected and the
situation quickly became worse with Louis eventually losing his sight in that eye. Then the
worst possible thing happened: his right eye became infected and he became completely blind
at the age of five. Many years later Louis Braille’s tragedy was to benefit blind people all over
the world. In Cuvray, Louis received lessons from a priest and a schoolmaster and
demonstrated that he was more intelligent than other pupils of his age. In 1819 he went to
the National Institute for Young blind People in Paris. There he learned to read using a system
of raised wooden letters which blind readers felt with their hands. This was difficult and
terribly slow – most students when they finally finished reading a sentence, could not
remember how it had begun! As one of the best students, Louis won prizes for mathematics,
grammar and composition. However, what he found most interesting was the idea of
developing a new and better system to help blind people to read.
