British potato farmers were angry and wanted the expression “couch potato” to be taken out of the dictionary because it harmed the vegetable’s image.

The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary to replace the expression with the term “couch slouch”, with protests being outside Parliament in London and the offices of Oxford University Press.

Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represents some 4,000 planters and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response.

“We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad for you,” she said on Monday.

“The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionary’s fault but we want to use another term instead of “couch potato” because potatoes are naturally healthy.”

The OED says that “couch potato” began as American slang, meaning “a person who spends his or her leisure time sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.”

The Potato Council says its campaign is backed by dieticians (飲食學(xué)家) who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C.

Supporting the campaign, famous cook Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britain’s favorite foods.

“Not only are they healthy, they are also convenient and yummy (美味). Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.

John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses.”

Simpson said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000 words in 20 volumes.

But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones.

“If society stops using words then they get taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added.

The first known recorded use of the expression “couch potato” was in an article in Los Angeles Times, in 1979, Simpson said.

Nigel Evans, a member of Parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.

It is known to us that puter users are being warned by industry experts to pay attention to secret codes which could be used to record their conversation.

E-mails, screen savers, and electronic greeting cards can carry a secret code which is able to turn on the puter’s microphone, make a recording, and forward it to someone else without the user’s knowledge.

In fact any attachments (附件) sent to a puter, whether it is a game of Space Invaders, or a moving picture, can possibly be used to spy (窺探).

Experts say people should always think twice about opening attachments because --- although not mon --- bugging (竊聽(tīng)) by puter can and has been done.

Bill Lyons, head of the Internet Security pany Finjan, said, “People in the army have tested this and you can be sure, if people in general are aware of it, then puter hackers (黑客) are aware of it. The frightening thing is that there are tools on the Internet which people, using a simple search method, can find, and which will enable them to attach this dangerous code to simple attachments.”

【小題】What is the advice given in the passage?

A. Use secret codes to record other people’s conversation.

B. Be careful when opening an attachment.

C. Never open any attachments.

D. Never use secret codes.

【小題】What worries the experts is that ___ .

A. nobody seems to believe such things

B. nobody knows the danger of the code

C. tools can easily be used to tie dangerous codes to e-mails

D. effective ways can never be found to deal with the problem.

【小題】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. A moving picture cannot be used to spy.

C. A secret code is used to destroy the puter system.
