Hacking
People tend to think of computers as isolated machines,working away all by themselves.Some do——personal computer without an outside link,like someone’S hideaway(隐蔽的)cabin in the woods.But just as most of homes are tied to a community by streets,bus routes and electric lines,computers that exchange intelligence are part of a community——local,national and even global network joined by telephone connections.
The computer network is a creation of the electric age.but it is based on old—fashioned trust.It cannot work without trust.A rogue loose(为所欲为的无赖)in a computer system called hac-ker(黑客)is worse than a thief entering your house.He could go through anyone’s electronic mail or add to.change,distort or delete anything in the information stored in the computer’s menlory.He could even take control of the entire system by placing his own instructions in the software tl_lat runs it. He could shut the computer down whenever he wished,and no one could stop him.Then he could program the computer to erase any sign of his ever having been there·
Hacking.our electronic—age term for computer break—in,is more and more in the news-brainv kids vandalizing university records,even pranking(胡闹)about in supposedly safeguarded svstems.To those who understand how computer networks are increasingly regulating life in the late 20th century.these are not laughing matters.A potential for disaster is buildin9:A dissatisfied fonner insurance—company employee wipes out information from payroll(工资表)files.A student sends out a“virus',a secret and destructive command,over a national network.The virus copies itself at lightning speed,jamming the entire network——thousands of academic,eommercial and government computer systems.Such disastrous cases have already occurred.Now exists tlle Dossibility of terrorism by computer. Spoiling a system responsible for air—traffic control at a busy airport.or knocking out the telephones of a major city,is a relatively easy way to spread Danic.Yet neitller business nor government has done enough to toughen its defenses against attack.For one thin9.such defenses are expensive;for another,they may interrupt communieation-tlle main reason for using computers in the first place.

'Flight distance' is the terms used for this interspecies spa~ng. As a general rule, there is a positive relationship between the size of an animal and its flight distance——the larger the animal, the greater the distance it must keep between itself and the enemy. An antelope will flee when the enemy is as much as five hundred yards away. The wall lizard's flight distance, on the other hand, is about six feet. Flight is the basic means of survival for mobile creatures.2 Critical distance apparently is present wherever and whenever there is a flight reaction. 'Critical distance' includes the narrow zone separating flight distance from attack distance. A lion in a zoo will flee from an approaching man until it meets a barrier that it cannot overcome. If the man continues the approach, he soon penetrates the lion's critical distance, at which point the cornered lion reverses direction and begins slowly to stalk the man.3 Social animals need to stay in touch with each other. Loss of contact with the group can be fatal for a variety of reasons including exposure to enemies. Social distance is not simply the dis-tance at which an animal will lose contact with his group that is, the distance at which it can no longer see, hear, or smell the group it is rather a psychological distance, one at which the animal apparently begins to feel anxious when he exceeds its limits. We can think of it as a hidden band that contains the group.4 Social distance varies from species to species. It is quite short—apparently only a few yards——among some animals, and quite long among others.5 Social distance is not always rigidly fixed but is determined in part by the situation. When the young of apes and humans are mobile but not yet under control of the mother's voice, social distance may be the length of her reach. This is readily observed among the baboons in a zoo. When the baby approaches a certain point, the mother reaches out to seize the end of its tail and pull it back to her. When added control is needed because of danger, social distance shrinks. To show this in man, one has only to watch a family with a number of small children holding hands as they cross a busy street.Paragraph 1 __________. 查看材料
