For the same reason “ teachies”, people who think they are more expert with<br /> computers, look down on American Online and its users. Recently, American Online (or AOL,<br /> as it calls itself) joined with Time Warner- a multi- million- dollar movie and magazine<br /> company- to create a multimedia giant.<br /> Now, AOL has begun to expand abroad. In many Europe countries, including the United<br /> Kingdom, it is hard to buy a computer magazine that does not have a free AOL introductory<br /> offer. The company also puts advertisements onto the television, and employs people to hand<br /> out its free introductory disks at places like train stations. As the Internet gets faster AOL is<br /> changing. With many homes getting high- speech connections through fiber optic cables or the<br /> new ADSL technology, the “Cyber- cockroach” will have to show that, like real cockroaches, it<br /> can survive in almost any environment.<br /> Question 36: What is the passage about?<br /> A.
