AMERICA ONLINE
America Online is one of the big names on the internet, and unlike many other digital

companies, it actually makes a profit. But the company which its rivals call the "Cyber-
cockroach" was launched only in 1992. Before that it was a small firm called Control Video
Corporation and it made video games. The Steve Case, a former Pizza Hut marketing
executive arrived and took the company online. Innovative, fast moving, and user-friendly,
America Online appeals to people who want to surf the internet, but who do not have a lot of
experience. For the same reason "techies", people who think they are more expert with
computers, look down on America Online and its users. Recently America Online (or AOL, as
it calls itself) joined with Time Warner - a multi - million dollar movie and magazine company
- to create a multimedia giant.
Now, AOL has begun to expand abroad. In many European countries, including the
United Kingdom, it is hard to buy a computer magazine that does not have a free AOL
introductory offer. The company also puts advertisements onto the television, and employs
people to hand out its free introductory disks at places like train stations. As the interest gets
faster AOL is changing. With many homes getting high-speed connections through fibre optic
cables or the new ADSL technology, the "Cyber-cockroach" will have to show that, like real
cockroaches, it can survive in almost any environment.
36. What is the passage about?
A. A computer company B. A software company
C. An internet company D. A video company
37. Who does Steve Case work for?
A. AOL B. Pizza Hut C. Control Video Corporation D. None of these
38. People who use America Online are probably.
A. Video game players B. "Techies"
C. Movie fans D. People new to the internet
39. America Online is an unusual digital company because
A. It used to make video games B. It is innovative
C. It makes money D. It has joined with another
40. What does the article say about AOL's future?
