Passage 2
On Oct. 12, 1989, some Chinese‘s scientists were working at the computers to look for the
information that needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computer‘s screen. At the same moment the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening, they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses. Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.
It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all have excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. These viruses which named Jerusalem Viruses can stay in computers for a longtime. When time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions, damaging normal programs or even getting rid of all information.
We now know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the US. But till now, how to get rid of the viruses remains a problem.
1. The group of young men created the viruses to _______________.
