        Do you know what a hacker is? Ahacker is a person who enjoys exploring the details of a programmable system on computers and he ora she likes to strecth the capability of the system. The activities they do in the computers are called 'hacking'

        So, what's the problem with 'hacking and its hacker'? The prob;em is whether 'hacking and its havkers' ois legal or illegal. What i mean is that people in the world have many different views about hacking and the hackers. soem of them take sides, but many object.

       To get back what i was saying previously, let us see the positive points a hacker, shall we? Although in most places breaking into computer systems is considered illegal, i believe that hackers don'y do anything illegal because they only want to know and try the system. I dare to say that a hacker likes finding the strengths and the weaknesses of a computer system. They feel proud if  they can find the weakness. so i fon't really see the crimes in this case. In addition, these hackers sometimes help the police catch the 'white collar criminals', such as bank robbers, money launderers, credit, card forgers. For example, in 2000, the U.S Hackers caught some Singaporean hackers who made 'Virus Love' to break up the programs of the U.S National Security system.

       Nevertheless, those who object to the good points of a hacekr say that hacking is a crime. The reason is that some hackers use their brilliant skills to break into banks and other visit instituation where they can get money and destroy information, and they worst thing is they can get secret information and sell in to another country.

Which of the following activities done by hackers is considered illegal?

                                                                                                                        Harry potter and Phylosopher's Stones

             Judged by this first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addituin to english children's fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles-ordinary non-magically people. Harry is rather out of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to the Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry-except that one of the staff is in league with Voldemort.

             Part of the attention of Harry potter and the Philosopher's Stone comes from the familiar but at the same time exotic setting of an english public school, complete with houses and schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione struggle to save the world and win the house cup.

so harry potter and the philopher's stone will be a great Christmas present for kids who haven't read it yet-and its is a book that adults (at least those without stunted imaginations) can read as well.

We can conclude from the first paragraph that .....

Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crim rate. Some locals see tourist  as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelry which can be disposed of quickly for profit.

Another major probem is health. With Greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, wich can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourist and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.

"One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed." (paragraph 3)

Why is the crime rate increasing due to the new industry?

        Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displased rock  pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.

        A tsunami washes ashore with often-disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning, and damage to property.

        A Tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows verly large.
