Fix it on your own

Did you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad （geelsquad.co.uk） have made a gadget（小機(jī)件） rescue guide. So, let’s take a look at some of their useful advice.

● How to get more juice out of your phone battery（電池）

If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone – but use it quickly.

● What to do if your gadget gets wet

First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner isn’t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your we gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don’t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.

● What to do if your TV remote control stops working

If replacing the batteries doesn’t work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens（鏡頭）. When you press a button on the remote, if it's working then the glass bobble（小球） at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays （紅外線）, even though your eyes don't. If the glass bobble doesn’t light up, the remote is broken. If it does, the receiving device is broken.

When people talk of a virus these days, chances are that they are talking about computer virus that have the power wipe out all the valuable work people may have stored in their computers. Imagine, the virus has the power to make military systems, giant banks, airports, hospitals and traffic system come to stop!
What does a computer virus do? It targets electronic objects that are programmed. The virus spreads through connections between these electronic objects. For virus spreading experts, e-mail is a favorite method of sending their destructive (破壞性的) weapon.
But scientists warn that this is not the worst that can happen. There is more. People are also connected through phones. The next virus may actually target mobile phones, especially those that are programmed to do many tasks apart from just communicating. It would then be easy for a virus to infect those programs and create major disorder.
For example, these virus may have the power to record your phone conversations and make others hear them. They create problems with your electronic money accounts, or they could create a mountain of telephone bills for calls you never made. And that would be a disaster. A report on this was published in the New Scientist recently. 
One way out would be to have simpler phones with not so many different functions. This would mean there would mean there would be fewer programs for the virus to attack. But mobile phone producers are in a fix. People on longer want an electronic item to perform just one task. They want more and more functions added. That would mean more software programs to make the mobile phone perform all those functions. And that means the possibility of more viruses.
【小題1】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A．computer viruses are not so as destructive as mobile phone viruses
B．people should be careful when receiving e-mails
C．people find it difficult to use electronic equipment correctly
D．having electronic money accounts brings people a lot of convenience
【小題2】Which of the following shows that your mobile phone is infected with a virus?
A．You can’t hear the person who answers the phone clearly
B．You can’t send e-mails with your mobile phone
C．your phone bill increases for unknown reasons
D．You can hear other people’s phone conversations
【小題3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A．Mobile phone producers have made no progress.
B．Mobile phone producers are proud of their products.
C．Mobile phone producers are faced with a difficult situation.
D．Mobile phone producers refused to fight against virus.
【小題4】For whom is the passage written?
A．Government officialsB．Virus spreading experts
C．Electronic scientistsD．Mobile phone users
