I love the Internet.It’s true.Think about everything it has brought us.Think about all the services we use，all the connectivity，all the entertainment，all the business，all the commerce.And it’s happening during our lifetimes.I’m pretty sure that one day we’ll be writing history books hundreds of years from now.This time our generation will be remembered as the generation that got online，the generation that built something really and truly global.But yes，it’s also true that the Internet has problems，very serious problems，problems with security and problems with privacy.I’ve spent my career fighting these problems.
So let me show you something.This here is Brain.This is a floppy disk—five and a quarter-inch floppy disk infected by Brain.A.It’s the first virus we ever found for PC computers.And we actually know where Brain came from.We know because it says so inside the code.Let’s take a look.All right.That’s the boot sector of an infected floppy，and if we take a closer look inside，we’ll see that right there，it says，“Welcome to the dungeon.”And then it continues，saying，1986，Basit and Amjad.And Basit and Amjad are first names，Pakistani first names.In fact，there’s a phone number and an address in Pakistan.
Now，1986.Now it’s 2011.That’s 25 years ago.The PC virus problem is 25 years old now.So half a year ago，I decided to go to Pakistan myself.So let’s see，here’s a couple of photos I took while I was in Pakistan.This is from the city of Lahore，which is around 300 kilometers south from Abbottabad，where Bin Laden was caught.Here’s a typical street view.And here’s the street or road leading to this building，which is 730 Nizam block at Allama Iqbal Town.And I knocked on the door.（Laughter） You want to guess who opened the door？ Basit and Amjad.They are still there.（Laughter）（Applause） So here standing up is Basit.Sitting down is his brother Amjad.These are the guys who wrote the first PC virus.Now of course，we had a very interesting discussion.I asked them why.I asked them how they feel about what they started.And I got some sort of satisfaction from learning that both Basit and Amjad had had their computers infected dozens of times by completely unrelated other viruses over these years.So there is some sort of justice in the world after all.
Questions：
1.What might be the speaker’s career？
2.How did the speaker know where the first virus Brain came from？
3.Why does the speaker say he got some sort of satisfaction？

我爱网络。这是真的。想想它给我们带来的一切。想想我们享用的所有服务、所有的联系、所有的娱乐、所有的商业、所有的贸易。这一切正发生在我们的生活中。我非常肯定将来的某一天，当我们书写从现在开始的数百年历史的时候，我们这一代将被誉为网络的一代，建立真正的、完全的全球化的一代。但是，当然也不可否认互联网仍然有许多问题，而且是非常严重的安全问题以及隐私问题。我的职业生涯都花在和这些问题做斗争上面。
我给大家看点东西。这是布雷恩（Brain）病毒。这是张软盘——被布雷恩A型病毒所感染的5.25英寸软盘。它是我们至今发现的最早的个人电脑病毒。我们现在知道布雷恩出自何处，因为它的代码告诉了我们。我们来看一下。好。这就是这个被感染软盘的引导区，如果我们仔细观察它的内部，我们会在那里发现它。它说：“欢迎来到地牢。”然后它继续道：1986年，巴西特（Basit）和阿姆贾德（Amjad）。巴西特和阿姆贾德是名字，巴基斯坦人的名字。事实上那儿还有个巴基斯坦的电话号码和地址。
当时是1986年。现在都2011年了。那已经是25年前的事情了。个人电脑病毒问题现在已经25岁了。一年半之前，我决定自己亲自去趟巴基斯坦。我们看一下，这儿有一些我在巴基斯坦时照的照片。这是在拉合尔（Lahore）城拍的照片，该城位于本拉·登（Bin Laden）被击毙的阿伯塔巴德（Abbottabad）以南大约300公里处。这是个当地典型的街景。这是通往阿拉玛·伊克巴尔（AllamaIqbal）城尼扎姆（Nizam）街区730号的建筑物的街道。我敲了敲门。（观众笑声）你想知道谁开的门吗？就是巴西特和阿姆贾德，他们还在那儿住着。（观众笑声）（掌声）站着的就是巴西特。坐着的是他的兄弟阿姆贾德。他们就是编写了第一个个人电脑病毒的两个家伙。当然，在当下我们有一个很有趣的讨论。我问他们为什么（要编写电脑病毒）。我问他们对自己所开创的这项事物是怎么想的。而当我获悉巴西特和阿姆贾德两个的电脑这些年来被完全不相干的其他病毒感染了很多次时，我也得到了一些满足。因此说，这个世界上毕竟还是有几分正义存在的。
