19、ends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for
20、his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.

25、ind many files or services you can download or use from the Internet. The question is : Is downloading legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and downloading are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal downloading, but you have to pay for them. It seems innocent
26、 if you click on the download mark, but it isnt. It should be compared with stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3 player or a car? Downloading from the Internet is a theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it worse. For example, if everybody only downloaded,

31、 offers a lot of services for money, but people will always try to get them for free.

You have to decide whether to buy or download. 32.
