I refer to the case of Sven Jaschan, who authored the Sasser and Netsky worms, both on the short list for most damaging and long-lasting malware (有害软件) infestations (大批出现), and both still on the charts as active threats.
The news stories give the unmistakable whiff of "community service": Little Svenny was a minor when some of the offences were committed. The maximum sentence is five years, and it's presumably his first offence.
Americans do seem to look differently at this age issue for criminals. I don't want to assert too much, but I think it's unfair to say that Jaschan only superficially committed his crime in Germany. By launching large-scale malware attacks he committed crimes against computer users everywhere. If it's wrong to punish a 17-year-old severely for such crimes, why is it not wrong to punish someone severely who is just a few months, perhaps even days, older？
In any event, there should be no doubt as to the severity of Jaschan's crimes. The Geman police may have found only 130,000 euros' worth of damage so far, but that's obviously a small fraction of the damage, and anyone smart enough to create these attacks is smart enough to conceive of the damage of which they are capable.
But the odds are lining up behind a light sentence, and in fact it's even worse. In the wake of his arrest Jaschan was hired by a German security software firm called Securepoint, which specializes in defenses against viruses and worms, and the company says it will stick with Jaschan regardless of the outcome of the trial. Jaschan is all set to profit for the rest of his life from the notoriety of his offences.
Which of the following is NOT true about Sasser and Netsky？
A．They were created by Jaschan.
B．They are Jaschan's friends.
C．They are computer viruses.
D．They threaten computer security.
听力原文： That's how Shown O'Neill looks back on the heart attack he experienced shortly after his 31st birthday.
"I thought I was in perfect health," Shown says. "I was never sick. I woke up feeling good every morning."
Then on that fateful day in April 2002, he received a giant eye opener. He was working in his yard in Hixson and started having pain in his chest and arms. "I wag pretty sure what it was, but I couldn't believe it could be happening to roe." The good news is that because Shawn recognized the symptoms and went immediately to Memorial Noah Park Hospital, he received the treatment he needed and the damage to his heart muscle was minimal.
"Advances in medicine make it possible for us to stop many heart attacks and keep people alive if they get to the hospital in time," says Dr: Kinsman Wright, medical director of Cardiac Services at Memorial. "We have technology to pinpoint blockage in the cardiac, arteries and several options to open the vessels. And lifestyle. changes and medications are helping people reduce their risk factors."
But Dr. Wright doesn't see any decrease in heart disease. "With people living longer, we're seeing different types of heart disease. We need to keep studying and fighting it on all fronts."

A．Yes. Because he is never sick.
B．Yes. Because he wakes up feeling good every morning
C．No. Because his heart muscle was severely, damaged.
D．No. Because he suffered a heart attack.
听力原文： Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new materials or to express himself or the age in original ideas. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.
We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

A．Because they are aged.
B．Because they find it hard to accept modern things.
C．Because they take their standards of perfection from the Greek.
D．Because they look at things by the standards of the past.

But it always included one or two stories about interesting people. Mr. Foster put these in [29] because he believed all people like to read about other people. Several years ago, Mr. Foster started two magazines. One was called "Enterprise". It is for business people. And the other was called [30] "Action", for sports fans. Like World News, they always have two or three stories about interesting people. Five years ago, Mr. Foster got another idea for a magazine. He wanted this one to have even more stories about people than the others and to have more photographs. This one was named "Faces and Places". From the very beginning, it was a big success.

M: Oh, It’s too bad! Was anybody hurt？ Was there much damage？

Most people have plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of falling in the most public of ways.
While extroverts will feel less fear before the ordeal, it does not mean they will necessarily do it better. Some very shy people manage to shine. When I met the British comedian Julian Clary, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect.
In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself.
Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully rehearsed, written scripts to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among the audience that the words might not be true.
Likewise, the incredibly perfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural. You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that you've been cheated.
Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana's funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A script. rarely works and it is used to help most speakers. But, being yourself doesn't work either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to communicate with an audience.
I remember going to see British psychiatrist R. D. Laing speak in public. He behaved like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it.
The best psychological place from which to speak is an unself-conscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of "flow", as psychologists call it, is very satisfying.
Women hate public speaking most mainly because of ________.
A．their upbringing very early on
B．their inability to appeal to the audience
C．their sense of greater public pressure
D．their sense of greater humiliation
