Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there’s Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.  Passage 2  Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it?

回答：Passage 1 「信息高速公路」是一条连接用户和众多网上服务的大道，服务的例子不胜枚举，例如：网页、电子邮件和软件。不久之前，「信息高速公路」尚为“门堪罗雀”的新通道。至今，每个人都似乎想在此挤一挤，全球的连线用户有超过三千万个家庭。一点都不奇怪，这车水马龙的「高速公路」也开始变得熙来攘往。交通堵塞可能会导致许多严重的问题，造成故障，须关闭系统来进行维修。当然，繁忙的通道上难免会发生意外，而“受害者”往往是一些档案，它们将永久消失。此外，当然还有“酷先生”使用新的宽频连接驰骋，这比我们一般的速度要快很多。不过，别傻！他追求速度是要付出代价的。Passage 2想对全球变暖了解更多，和如何能阻止这趋势吗？Dr. Herman Friedman（荷蒙‧弗里德曼）博士，一位被认为是在这一方面的权威专家，将于下周五在Grayson Hall（格雷森大堂）发表演说。在当这一科目的教授之前，Friedman曾在三所世界著名的大学研究环境科学，他也曾走遍世界各地观测环境问题。他目前最感兴趣的，是在2002年吸引公众注意的大堡礁（Great Barrier Reef）珊瑚逐渐变白问题。他的新书刚于上个月出版，彩色印刷，亲笔签名的新书将在演说之后发售。
