Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19-year-old Swede is anything but ordinary, from the computer in his parents’ home he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) find out the world’s most wanted cyber criminals .

Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the “Melissa” virus in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.

Jonathan’s special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the “virtual” crimewave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother’s football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e-security (電子安全) to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker trade.

Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden’s Uppsala University and start up his own e-security company.

Although he works with the FBI now, his family insists he’s just “a regular kid”. “Jonathan is a great kid, he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer,” his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help”, not because he’s looking for fame and recognition.

When the world was hit by the “Love Bug” virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem. “Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking.” Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e-mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the “Melissa” virus, which took three weeks to solve, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.

“This time I knew exactly where to start, I knew what to disregard and what to look at.”

A "secret" message, unseen for almost 150 years and making the start of the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), has been uncovered in Abraham Lincoln's gold pocket watch, U.S. media reported on Wednesday.

"Lincoln never knew of the message he carried in his pocket," Brent D. Glass, director of the National Museum of American History said in a statement.

The message, which was engraved by an Irish immigrant and watchmaker named Jonathan Dillon, is dated April 13, 1861, and reads in part: "Fort Sumpter [sic] was attacked by the rebels" and "thank God we have a government."

"It's a personal side of history about an ordinary watchman being inspired to record something for posterity," Glass said.

The museum decided to open the watch after being contacted by the watchmaker's great-great-grandson, Doug Stiles, who had received a letter from a relative in Ireland. It said that the family had found a letter Dillon had written about the purported (據(jù)說的) message in the watch.

Then Stiles, a 57 -year-old real estate lawyer in Waukegan, Illinois, searched on the Internet and found a New York Times article from 1906, where Dillon told the story at the age of 84.

During the interview, Dillon said that he unscrewed the dial of the watch and wrote on the metal as soon as he heard the news about the first shot of the Civil War. "The first gun is fired. Slavery is dead. Thank God we have a President who at least will try."

However, the actual message that the museum found is different from what Dillon recalled. It reads, "Jonathan Dillon, April 13－1861, Fort Sumpter [sic] was attacked by the rebels on the above date J Dillon, April 13 -1861, Washington, thank God we have a government, Jonth Dillon."

A．the start of the U.S．Civil War              B．Abraham Lincoln's daily life

C．the slavery in the U.S．                        D．the ending of the U.S．Civil War

63．Doug Stiles first knew about the message from _________.

A．a(chǎn) relative in Ireland                              B．a(chǎn) report of New York Times

C．the Internet                                        D．Brent D．Glass

64．The underlined word "posterity" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to "________".

A．historical research                                B．entertainment

A few years ago, I went hiking with my older sister, Mary, and her friend, Jonathan. Our   1   was to reach the tip of the mountain so we could see the beautiful view. The hike was   2   and the heat drained our energy. As we were   3   the summit, through the treetops we could see the valley below. The sight at that point was   4  impressive. Jason was satisfied with the view and suggested we turn back. Jessi and I insisted we keep going so we could make it to the top, but Jason decided not to continue. When we finally reached our destination, the whole view was   5  . The view from the summit gave us a 360 degree advantageous point of the entire area, which was much more incredible than the limited view Jason had where he stopped. It was well   6   the extra effort. What is the point of this story? Set your goals and never settle for less than what you can achieve!

As we   7   high school to go forward with our lives, we will each have our own mountains to climb. All of us will face different challenges and struggles. We all have the   8   to set new goals and to achieve them. As we continue in life, we must remember that if we succeed, we must not be proud. If we fail, we must not   9  . If we face adversity （逆境）, we must trust that there is always a way through it. If we experience prosperity, we must never forget those who are not so fortunate.

As graduates, we have already proven we can achieve important goals. Let’s go forward, set new goals and never settle for less than what we can achieve.
