6.WHAT happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes?Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow.It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers.
    Marcus Yallow,17,from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society.Smart,fast and wise to the ways of the networked world,he has no trouble outwitting (骗过) his high school's monitoring system.This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life.
    While they are playing,a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge.Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend,but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison.There he is treated as a possible terrorist.He is eventually let go after four days,but his injured friend disappears.
    When he returns,Marcus discovers that there are many"security measures"in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists.While some consider this government action necessary for public safety,Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen.
    He knows that no one will believe his story,which leaves him with only one thing to do:to take down the DHS himself.He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth,anonymously (匿名地).
    The book presents a young man who is irresponsible,but learns about himself,and grows,in the course of the story.As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.

18.As a newspaper reporter,Inez's father traveled around the world.He wrote stories about the interesting people he met.On her fifteenth birthday,Inez could hardly believe it when her father announced that she was old enough to go with him on one of his trips!He said his next story would be about salt mining in Europe.Inez had never thought much about salt,she didn't know what to expect,but she knew she would love being with her father.
Months later,when Inez and her father arrived at the salt mine,they found themselves walking into the middle of a busy workday.Mrs.Walker,the owner,said she would not be available to talk until the workday was over.She suggested that Inez and her father should help out so Inez's father would have first-hand experience for his story.Before Inez realized what was happening,she was in the factory.This was not what she had imagined her trip would be like.
People rushed past her carrying hammers,nails,and wood to make boxes for the salt.Everyone seemed to be in such a hurry.As another newly constructed box was pushed at her,Inez spread a label with glue and stuck it on the side of the box.When she had agreed to go with her father on his newspaper assignment,she had pictured an adventure,not hard labor.
Inez looked at the salt covering her father's once-blue pants and sighed.She could taste the salt in her mouth and smell it in the air.Inez had been using salt all her life,but she had never imagined that it existed in such quantities or that it was so hard to package.
Inez's father rubbed his hands together and grinned at her.‘‘I know this probably isn't what you had in mind,"he said,"but sometimes the best days are the ones that don't go as planned.,
Best?she wondered.She had learned two lessons today.One was to value every grain of salt to fall from a shaker.The other was to hear the details before agreeing to go on a job with her father!
