It carrues a heavy shell on its back. It cannot move as quickly as other animals. One morning a hare said to a tortoise, I can run faster than you. You are very slow animal. Yes, said the tortoise. I can not run as fast as you. But let us have a race. I will race you and I will win. I will beat you. You are foolish, said the hare, I will beat you easily. Let us race to that tree. Are you ready ? Go ! The tortoise began walking slowly towards the tree. He could not go fast. But he did not stp. The hare laughed. I shall not hurry, he said, I shall lie down to have a little rest. Then I shall go after the tortoise and win the race. I can run faster than the tortoise. The hare lay down and went to sleep.

Think youre the strongest Computer viruses are similar to biological viruses in the way they multiply in number and in the way they need a host to survive. However, in both scenarios there must be a cause, such a weak immune system, or an expired anti-virus program, in order for the virus to penetrate and spread. Due to the many different types of computer viruses, it can be confusing at times to diagnose what kind of virus your computer is suffering from. To make the identifying process easier, weve listed the three basic types of viruses that you will likely encounter. These computer viruses include: Trojan Horses Worms Email Viruses The Trojan virus gets its name from an incident that occurs in Homers Illiad. Similar to how the Greeks in Homers poem sent an army of men, hidden in a wooden horse, to the Trojans to get into the wall of the city. A Trojan horse appears to be nothing more than an interesting computer program of user whos interested in collecting sound samples. The Trojan virus once on your computer, doesnt reproduce, but instead makes your computer susceptible (mudah kena) to malicious (jahat) intruders by allowing them to access and read your files. Making this type of virus is extremely dangerous to your computers security and your personal privacy. Therefore, you should avoid downloading programs or files from sites if youre not 100 percent positive of what the file or program does.

A Worm is a virus program that copies and multiplies itself by using computer networks and security flaws. Worms are more complex than Trojan viruses, and usually attack multi-user systems such as UNIX environments and can spread over corporate networks via the circulation of emails. Once multiplied, the copied worms scan the network for further loophole and flaws in the network. A classic example of a worm is the ILOVEYOU virus. The best way you can protect yourself from worms is by updating your security patches. Operating systems and application vendors normally provide thee patches. In addition, you should avoid opening email attachments from unknown senders. Email viruses use email messages to spread. An email virus can automatically forward itself to thousands of people, depending on whose email address it attacks. To avoid receiving virusladen emails, always check that your antivirus software is up-to-date and also stay clear of opening attachments, even from friends that you werent expecting or dont know anything about. Also, block unwanted email viruses by installing a spam filter and spam blocker. Answer the questions based on the text above. 5. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? a.

It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical care. Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland. In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away. When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames. The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.
