(A)

　　Many instructors believe that an informal, relaxed classroom environment is good for learning and innovation. It is not uncommon for students to have easygoing and friendly relationships with their professors. The casual(随和的) professor is not necessarily a poor one and is still respected by students. Although students may be in a subordinate(从属的) position, some professors treat them as equals. However, no matter how equal professors would like to be, they still are in a position of authority.

　　Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the classroom, but in the classroom they maintain the instructor's role. A professor may have coffee one day with students but the next day expect them to meet a deadline for the submission(提交评判) of a paper or to be prepared for a discussion or an exam. The professor may give extra attention outside of class to a student in need of help but probably will not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating school work. Professors have several roles in relation to students; they may be friends as well as teachers. Students must realize that when a teacher's role changes, they must appropriately adapt their behaviour and attitudes.

　　Jonathan James looks like just another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19-year-old Swede is anything but ordinary. From the computer in his parents' home he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) find out the world's most wanted cyber criminals (网络犯罪分子).

　　Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the "Melissa" virus(病毒) in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected(嫌疑的) sender of the dangerous "I LOVE YOU" virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.

　　Jonathan's special skills are in hot demand as officials around the world express alarm at the "virtual" crimewave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brother's football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e-security(电子安全) to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to learn much about the latest tricks of the hacker (黑客) trade.

　　Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Sweden's Uppsala University and start up his own e-security company.

　　Although he works with the FBI now, his family insists he's just "a regular kid" . "Jonathan is a great kid, he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer," his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because "he likes to help", not because he's looking for fame and recognition.

　　When the world was hit by the "Love Bug" virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e-security to look into the problem. "Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking." Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e-mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his work on the "Melissa" virus, which took three weeks to solve, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.

　　"This time I knew exactly where to start, I knew what to disregard and what to look at."
