The purpose of the information superhighway is to provide remote electronic banking, schooling, shopping, taxpaying, chatting, game playing, video conferencing, movie ordering and medical diagnosing.

Here’s what it won’t do: It won’t remove the need to shop at stores, drive a car, visit friends, or do most of the things you normally do now.

It might make many things you do easier and more convenient. Movies you now can get only at video stores will be available on your TV 24 hours a day.

The information superhighway will carry all kinds of personal matters from your tastes in movies to your buying habits. How this information will be protected is one of the great unknowns.

Computer hackers represent another threat. Last February, high-tech marauders were able to steal thousands of passwords from Internet; this would allow them to read hundreds of personal files, including E-mail. Such a break-in could result in anything from a small inconvenience to a loss of privacy.

On the other hand, computerized system gives financial institutions and police stations much better tools for picking out patterns of criminal behavior.

1. According to the passage, the information superhighway can help do the following except ______.

A. medical service B. conversation　 C. going out dining D. education

2. What can we learn from the passage?

A. With the information superhighway there is no need for us to shop at stores.

B. It is not impossible to do shopping through the information superhighway.

C. The information superhighway can operate on patients in hospital.

D. The information superhighway will do most of the things you normally do now.

3. The best title of the passage is _____________.

A. The advantages of the information superhighway.

B. The information superhighway

C. The disadvantages of the information superhighway.

D. What the information superhighway can’t do.

4. From the passage we can infer that_________.

A. it is hard to protect the privacy of superhighway users

B. superhighway has a thousand passwords

C. financial institutions can deal with criminal behavior

D. nobody knows your buying habits from the superhighway
