Computers, like any other piece of elec-tronic equipment, need special care and atten-tion in order to perform properly and safely.There are several specialized tasks such asdefragmenting, scanning and reformatting thatcomputer experts can do to keep the internalsystem of a computer working well. However,we'll leave these tasks to the experts for now andconceutrate on some daily do's and don'ts thatany computer user should know.
Computers require special cleaning evenon the outside. Keeping your system free ofdust, dirt and liquids is the first step to com-puter care. Your system's user guide is thebest place to find information on how to cleanyour outer components; but here are somegeneral tips that you should always remember:
Never spray your monitor screen(or anyother computer component) with glass cleaner.Instead, spray a lint-free cloth lightly withglass cleaner, then clean the screen. Be sureto hold the cloth away from the computerwhen spraying.
Computer components should be kept asdust-free as possible. Canned air or small computer-specificvacuum cleaners are an excellent way to cleankeyboards, computer case vents, or arounddisk drive openings.
The rubber ball inside the bottom of amouse may need occasional cleaning. If themouse does not perform correctly, cbeck youruser gnide for cleaning directions.
Never try to remove the cover on yourcomputer to clean inside. Instead, take it toan authorized service technician for cleaning.
Keep all liquids and food items awayfrmn your computer. Liquids and food crumbscan damage delicate electronic circuits. Also,mixing liquids and electronic components cancause serious electrical shock!
Wash your hands before using the com-puter to avoid "sticky keys."
When in doubt about how to clean yourcmnputer system, consult your user manual ortechnical support.
Install, use and regularly update virussoftware.
Never open an email attachment unlessyou know and trust the person who sent it.
Do not accept downloads from lnternetsites that you don't know and trust.

Pupils who get top grades in moths A-levels should be given a £500 reward, accord-ing to the head of the British Association forthe Advancement of Science (BA). The formereconomist and journalist, Frances Cairncross,is echoing the concerns of business leaders byexpressing concerns that the supply of scien-tists in Britain is drying up.
Ms Cairncross, rector of Exter College,Oxford, will make her comments in a speechat this week's BA festival of science in Nor-wich. Her presidential address will also callfor the UK to make adapting to the certainconsequences of climate change a priority (优先权).

It argued that thousands ofpotential physicists, biologists and chemists are being lost because of a stripped-down sci-ence curriculum, a lack of specialist teachersand uninspiring careers advice.
In an attempt to stop the decline, MsCairneross suggested a prize for those cbil-dren who achieved A grades in maths A-lev-els. "I wouht do some experiments in differentpans of the country and see what happens-ifone started off with £500 it might attract theattention of clever young mathematicians,"she said.
She added that children should be toldabout tbe benefits of studying. "Maths is asubject that opens doors to all sorts of othersubjects. There's good evidence to show thathaving A-level maths boosts your lifetimeearnings," she said.
Ms Cairncross said science educationwas important not only for the future supplyof scientists but also for enhancing the diffi-cult public debate on climate change. "Acountry that can understand and take part inarguments about climate change needs to bewell educated in science," she said.

Computers, like any other piece of elec-tronic equipment, need special care and atten-tion in order to perform properly and safely.There are several specialized tasks such asdefragmenting, scanning and reformatting thatcomputer experts can do to keep the internalsystem of a computer working well. However,we'll leave these tasks to the experts for now andconceutrate on some daily do's and don'ts thatany computer user should know.
Computers require special cleaning evenon the outside. Keeping your system free ofdust, dirt and liquids is the first step to com-puter care. Your system's user guide is thebest place to find information on how to cleanyour outer components; but here are somegeneral tips that you should always remember:
Never spray your monitor screen(or anyother computer component) with glass cleaner.Instead, spray a lint-free cloth lightly withglass cleaner, then clean the screen. Be sureto hold the cloth away from the computerwhen spraying.
Computer components should be kept asdust-free as possible. Canned air or small computer-specificvacuum cleaners are an excellent way to cleankeyboards, computer case vents, or arounddisk drive openings.

Pupils who get top grades in moths A-levels should be given a £500 reward, accord-ing to the head of the British Association forthe Advancement of Science (BA). The formereconomist and journalist, Frances Cairncross,is echoing the concerns of business leaders byexpressing concerns that the supply of scien-tists in Britain is drying up.
Ms Cairncross, rector of Exter College,Oxford, will make her comments in a speechat this week's BA festival of science in Nor-wich. Her presidential address will also callfor the UK to make adapting to the certainconsequences of climate change a priority (优先权).
The number of A-level pupils studyingphysics has fallen by 56% in 20 years. Overthe same period, the number studying chem-istry has dropped hy 37%. This year, therewas a rise in the number of pupils who tookmaths A-levels bnt there were still fewer can-didates than in 2000.
Last month, the Confederation of BritishIndustry warned that the British economy wasnnder threat as its world-class science base.becomes eroded. It argued that thousands ofpotential physicists, biologists and chemists are being lost because of a stripped-down sci-ence curriculum, a lack of specialist teachersand uninspiring careers advice.
In an attempt to stop the decline, MsCairneross suggested a prize for those cbil-dren who achieved A grades in maths A-lev-els. "I wouht do some experiments in differentpans of the country and see what happens-ifone started off with £500 it might attract theattention of clever young mathematicians,"she said.
She added that children should be toldabout tbe benefits of studying. "Maths is asubject that opens doors to all sorts of othersubjects. There's good evidence to show thathaving A-level maths boosts your lifetimeearnings," she said.
Ms Cairncross said science educationwas important not only for the future supplyof scientists but also for enhancing the diffi-cult public debate on climate change. "Acountry that can understand and take part inarguments about climate change needs to bewell educated in science," she said.
