A

You may open your electronic mail and find information about how to buy medicine，cheap airline tickets , and books and，of course，computers and computer products．There may also be offers for investment deals，bank loans and special holidays．However, to many computer users，this use of electronic spam to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult．

Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a “ spammer．” A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information．Spammers find e-mail addresses from websites，news groups and “ chat rooms ” where people send messages to each other．

Most spam is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products . Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or services for fair prices．These companies can offer their products for a cheaper price than you might find in a store．However, much of the spam on the Internet is sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide．They are only interested in stealing your money．When you answer their spam you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift．One country in Africa has become famous for the number of criminals who try every known trick to separate people from their money .

36．What does the underlined word “spam” in the first paragraph probably refer to?

A．Unwanted electronic information that reaches computer users．

B．Computer virus that causes computer communication difficulties．

C．Advertisements sent out by companies who want to sell their products．

D．Companies that send out millions of copies of the same sales information．

Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake．On the day before bass (巴斯鱼)season opened，they were fishing early in the evening，catching other fish with worms．Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake．Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure．His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank．Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water．It was the largest one he had ever seen，but it was a bass．

The boy and his father looked at the big fish．The father lit a match and looked at his watch．It was 10 p.m. — two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish，then at the boy．“You’ll have to put it back，son，”he said .

“Dad!” cried the boy．“There will be other fish，’’said his father．“Not as big as this one，’’cried the boy．He looked around the lake．No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight He looked again at his father．

Even though no one had seen them，nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish，the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water．The big fish disappeared．The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish．

That was 34 years ago．Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City．He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place．

And he was right．He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago . But he does see that same fish…again and again…every time he has all ethical (道德的)decision to make．For，as his father had taught him，ethics are simple matters of right and wrong．It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult．

40．What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?
