An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!
Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy
You hoped nobody found out!
Compress was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for a while!
Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!
Cut - you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!
I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!

＊〈英文笑話〉是教材的延伸閱讀，非看不可
教材第一集念到一半時，開始進行。
延伸閱讀的生字，只須挑重點單字背，而且必須
先在有聲字典裡把聲音聽熟再背。
因為沒有有聲書可以聽，所以這些單字不好記，
且易忘。只挑重點單字背即可。
