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.
Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede, Fredrik Bjoerck, found out the maker of the "Melissa" virus in March 1999. He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected 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 to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other computer experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker 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. /

Teachers have long said that success is its own reward. But these days, some students are finding that good grades can bring them cash and luxury gifts.
In at least a dozen states this school year, students who bring home top marks can expect more than just thankfulness.
The most ambitious experiment began in September, when seven states—Arkansas, Alabama, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington—won spots in an Mobil-funded program that,in most cases,pays students $100 for each passing grade on advanced placement(AP) college-prep exams.
It’s an effort to get low-income and minority students interested in the courses, says Tommie Sue Anthony, president of the Arkansas Advanced Initiative for Math and Science. "We still have students who are not sure of the value, who are not willing to take the courses. "she says, "Probably the motivation will make a difference with those students. "
Gregg Fleisher of the National Math and Science Initiative, which runs the seven-state program, says the effort is modeled on a program adopted by Dallas in the 1995—1996 school year that saw AP course-taking jump obviously. That program is now statewide.
While many educators would be against offering kids cash for good grades, Fleisher and others say the idea is simple. "It’s an encouragement to get them to basically make the right decision and choose a more strict class. "he says, "This teaches them that if they work at something very hard and have a lot of support, they can do something they didn’t think they could do. "
An analysis of the Texas program last month by Cornell economist C · Kirabo Jackson found that it linked to a 30% rise in the number of students with high SAT and ACT scores and an 8% rise in college going students.
What does the passage mainly talk about

A:Success is its own reward. B:Success makes a difference. C:Good grades deserve gratitude. D:A new motivation for students.
