play chess,translate languages and so on. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making computers "think" like a man. Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Some people are afraid that one
day computers will be too clever to listen to them. But scientists tell us that such things will not happen.

(干旱) in Australia. E1 Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world. It causes a lot of
rain and floods in some places. It causes droughts in other places. Droughts can badly affect people
and the land. E1 Nino lasts about a year.
In normal weather conditions, warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the
Pacific Ocean. The winds early take storms to Australia. These storms bring rain to Australia.
During an E1 Nino weather pattern, the winds change direction. They blow from west to east across
the Pacific Ocean. The storms no longer move across Australia. So Australia gets very little rain during
E1 Nino.
The drought began in January, 1982. E1 Nino often occurs at this time of year. But that year, El Nino
was stronger than usual. There was very little rainfall (降雨量) in eastern Australia. There was also
very little water in the rivers. The drought was at its worst in February, 1983. At that time, the weather
was very hot. The forests and fields were very dry. Cotton growers eouldn"t plant their cotton. Sheep
farmers had no grass for their animals to eat. So many of them died.Because the forests were dry. Forest
fires started quickly. Some of the fires burned for a month. Many forests were destroyed. Over 2,000
people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died.
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals. The drought cost
the country over $3,000,000,000. It was a reminder (提示) to Australians of how the weather could
change their lives.

different from animals because they could think and learn. They know now that dogs, rats, birds can
learn too. They are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak.
Animals can not speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry or unhappy. Apes
(类人猿) can understand some things more quickly than men. One or two of them have learnt a few
words. But they can not put words together to make sentences. They cannot think as we do because
they have no languages. The language is a wonderful thing. Man is able to build a modern world
because he has language.
Each child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animal learns to
speak. How do children learn it? Scientists don"t know. They only know that man can speak because
he has the brain.

| We talk about and use the Internet every day, but do you know the history of the Internet? Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn"t work. If there is something wrong with one computer in the network, the whole networkstopped. So it is necessary to set up a network system (系统). The network system should be so good that many different computers can use it. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. At first, only the government used the Internet, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks used it, too. However, computers were still very , computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had developed software (软件) andmade it easy to surf the Internet. Today it is easy to get on-line. | |||
