Nobody likes a computer virus, but at least you can get rid of it And there is a lot of anti-virus software these days It can find a virus, fix it and you can forget about it Unfortunately the same isn’t true for spyware 41 Spyware is software that hides somewhere on your computer It collects information about what you on the Internet and passes this information to companies without your permission If you shop on the Internet and use your credit card, you should know that some spyware can record this information! 42 Your computer can catch spyware in lots of ways If you open the wrong mail, or even visit the wrong website, spyware can download itself onto your computer And spyware often comes with free software 43 Most spyware just collects information about your surfing habits for advertising reasons But some spyware can be more powerful and will often make your computer slower Adware is a type of spyware which is advertising software It makes ‘pop-up’ advertisements appear while you are connected to the Internet Not dangerous … but very annoying 44 If this is the first time you’ve heard of spyware, you’ve probably got some on your PC Surveys have found that 90% of computers have several pieces of spyware on them And spyware will stay on your computer for a long time, quietly collecting information and sending it back to its authors 45 There is some anti-spyware software that will remove most of your problems However, some antispyware is spyware itself, so be careful! For a complete list of software, go to spywarewarrior.com Your answers: 41 42 43 44 45 Part Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer (1 point) Design is the act of making something better Everything, no matter how ordinary, has been designed That some objects give us no special pleasure or are not fashionable does not alter the fact that somebody decided what they would look like, what they would and how they would be used Every time you buy a new kettle or toaster, the quality of the design is influential, encouraging you to choose one kettle or toaster over the others Good design works well Excellent design works well and gives pleasure Look at it the other way round Some objects look very good but not work well Take the Alessi kettle, with its curved handle and two-tone whistle It looks very exciting but the handle can get too hot to touch Compare this with the familiar Russell Hobbs automatic electric kettle It has been in production since the late 1950s, works perfectly and looks good Poor designs are easy to find If you cannot see what is at the back of the kitchen cupboard without getting down on your hands and knees, that is bad design If you catch your sleeve on a door handle, that is bad design If you cannot understand how to use the controls on your cooker without searching for the instruction book - and if, when you find the book, you still cannot work the timing switch, that is unpardonably bad design The question is: how, when these kinds of faults are so obvious, have some designs ever reached our homes? The answer is that in most cases, bad designs emerge because not enough energy and time is given to thinking through all the different questions that should be asked about the product Kitchen cupboard makers will say that they are making cupboards as economically as possible This kind of “cheapness” is one of the main reasons for the absence of good design in our homes To make a cupboard where the shelves swing out to display the contents when the door is opened is more expensive 46 What does the passage say that good designers think about? A How things will be used B What people are used to C What is fashionable D What will influence people 47 Things which are excellently designed ………… A work perfectly B last a long time C always get chosen by shoppers D both work well and good look 48 What was wrong with Alessi kettle?

A The handles stick out too far B It is difficult to find the controls C Using the timing switch is confusing process D The instruction books have no diagrams 50 Why badly designed things get made and sold?
