Binhai College is quite modern. Every classroom for English study has a
computer. Mr. Green often uses the computer to teach English. This makes his
class
more interesting. All the students like to use the computer. They do
exercises on the computer. They also play word games on it. But this morning,
something
went wrong with the computer. It didn't work. Prof. Green and the
students tried to get it
fixed, but
in vain. Mr. Green was very much troubled.
The students were worried, too.
Finally, they
sent for a repairman. Now they
are talking about the problems with the repairman.
Prof. Green: What on
earth is the matter with this computer? It
doesn't
work.
Repairman: Let me see. Oh, it's the
virus.
Xiao Yong: Virus! Does it cause
damage to the
system?
Repairman: No, not that
serious. But you have to
send the
computer
to the
servicecenter.
Lily: Where does the virus come from?
Repairman: You know, all of you use this computer, and many
of
you
bring in your
floppies. You also
receive e-mails
and e-mails sometimes
carry viruses.
Lily:
I see. How can you
kill the virus and when will you get the computer fixed?
Repairman: I hope it will be OK tomorrow.
