In its latest move to fight online piracy (盗版), the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) has shut down hundreds of BT file-sharing websites,    36   the popular BTChina.net. The name BT is short for BitTorrent, one of the most common   37    methods used in   38   . As a result of     39    , the more people who download the same thing, the   40   the downloads get. BT sharing has been the means of choice for users to trade software , music, movies, and digital books, TV dramas and pirated DVDS and CDs. These BT sites were shut down either for operating without a    41   , or for copyright problems.

The closure of BT sites has    42     millions of young Chinese netizens. Liu Pei, a 27-year-old IT engineer who visits BTChina most nights to get a    43     movie, was upset by the change. “It was so popular and I can’t believe it has   44    from my life overnight,” he told China Daily newspaper. The shutdown might have an immediate   45    on the amount of downloads, but over time it will   46     quickly, according to Hurvitz, a member of the foreign counsel (法律顾问) for Kangxin Partners PC.

Netizens are beginning to search for new download   47    . “The problem is, if you shut down the top    48    BitTorrent sites, then people are simply going to go to number three, number four or number five on the list,” Hurvitz said. Whether netizens like it or not, SARFT said the    49     sites will have to solve the “copyright (版权) problem” if they want to reopen. Copyright should be   50   . If you don’t pay for    51    , investors lose money. Then no one will make movies in the future, experts say.

In the future, some    52    say, the concept of “downloading” will disappear. The Internet’s future is completely “online”, a founder of one software downloading website told Information Times. Eventually, you may not have to bother downloading content to your computer, but just   53   it online, the founder said. But the concept of “copyright” will still be there, inspiring talented people to create    54      things, in which they take pride, and from which they make    55   .

To Err is Human


by Lewis Thomas
Everyone must have had at least one personal experience with a computer error by this time. Bank balances are suddenly reported to have jumped from $ 379 into the millions, appeals for charitable contributions are mailed over and over to people with crazy sounding names at your address, department stores send the wrong bills, utility companies write that they’re turning everything off, that sort of thing. If you manage to get in touch with someone and complain, you then get instantaneously typed, guilty letters from the same computer, saying, "Our computer was in error, and an adjustment is being made in your account."
These are supposed to be the sheerest, blindest accidents. Mistakes are not believed to be the normal behavior of a good machine. If things go wrong, it must be a personal, human error, the result of fingering, tampering a button getting stuck, someone hitting the wrong key. The computer, at its normal best, is infallible.
I wonder whether this can be true. After all, the whole point of computers is that they represent an extension of the human brain, vastly improved upon but nonetheless human, superhuman maybe. A good computer can think clearly and quickly enough to beat you at chess, and some of them have even been programmed to write obscure verse. They can do anything we can do, and more besides.
It is not yet known whether a computer has its own consciousness, and it would be hard to find out about this. When you walk into one of those great halls now built for the huge machines, and standing listening, it is easy to imagine that the faint, distant noises are the sound of thinking, and the turning of the spools gives them the look of wild creatures rolling their eyes in the effort to concentrate, choking with information. But real thinking, and dreaming, are other matters. On the other hand, the evidence of something like an unconscious, equivalent to ours, are all around, in every mail. As extensions of the human brain, they have been constructed the same property of error, spontaneous, uncontrolled, and rich in possibilities.

The author uses his hypothesis that "computers represents an extension of the human brain" in order to indicate that ______.

A. human beings are not infallible, nor are computers
B. computers are bound to make as many errors as human beings
C. errors made by computers can be avoided the same as human mistakes can be avoided
D. computers axe made by human beings and so are their errors
