Task 1 Before reading the passage, see how much you know about LAN by answering the following questions.

1. How does your computer connect to the Internet?

2. Do you know what kind of people use local area network to work?

Reading A

What Is a Local Area Network?

Para. 1 A local area network (LAN) is a network of connected

computers in a room, building, or set of buildings. Local area networks

have been around since the beginning of computer use. A LAN is

defined as a user network whereby data is sent at high rates between

people located close to each other.

Reading A

Para. 2 The Internet is a wide area network, or WAN, which is

different from a LAN. In contrast to the term Internet, local area

networks are often called Intranets, though sometimes this term

refers to a bunch of LANs connected with a particular company or

organization but not connected to the larger Internet. A local area

network uses a hub or router to connect computers together. The

means of communication is the omnipresent Ethernet cable or

wireless Wi-Fi technology. These technologies offer data transfer

rates running between 10 to 10,000 Mbit/s.

Reading A

Para. 3 More important LANs have extra lines or other backup

protocols. In networked computers, the most popular communication

protocol is TCP/IP. Smaller LANs may be temporary and used between

friends to play computer games over the network. Via the network,

users can view and share files, make changes to data on other

computers if it is possible, play movies or music on many computers at

once, chat with instant messaging, send emails to each other, play

games, and so on.

Reading A

Para. 4 Perhaps the most frequent use of a LAN is to connect users

to the Internet with only one connected router. In modern times, we

use broadband cable or DSL modems to join to the Internet, and it

would be clumsy to have a modem connected with every computer,

so we simply plug the modem into a router and link the router to

computers with Ethernet cables.

Para. 5 Setting up a LAN can be challenging at first, but

contemporary operating systems have programs that do most of the

necessary configurations automatically, which makes the set-up

much easier.

Reading A

Task 2 Read the passage and tick the facts mentioned in the passage about LAN.

history definition of LAN technical specifications Internet vs. Intranet communication protocol data transfer rate expanses of surfing the Net procedures of LAN set-up

Reading A

Task 3 Read the passage again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).

1. Any group of connected computers can be called a LAN.2. Either a hub or a router can connect computers together.3. Data transfer rates offered by WANs should be higher than that

by LANs.4. Internet refers to a small LAN.5. Local area networks are just used between friends and last for

only a short time.6. According to the passage, to set up a LAN needs to consider the

operating systems and automatical configurations at first, which seems quite complex.

局域网（简称 LAN ）是指在一个房间、一幢楼房或几幢楼房内，由多台计算机相互连接而形成的网络。在计算机使用初期局域网已广泛使用。局域网被定义为用于短距离用户之间高速率传输数据的网络。 因特网是一种广域网（ WAN ），与局域网不同。局域网又被称为“内网”，但有时，局域网也指与某一公司或组织连接，但并不与广域网相连的若干个局域网的集合。局域网通过集线器或路由器将所有计算机联网，所采用的通讯方式是无所不在的以太网网线或者无线技术。这些技术提供的数据传输速率一般在 10Mbit/s 到10,000Mbit/s 之间。 比较重要的局域网都有额外线路或者其他备用协议。联网的电脑使用最多的是 TCP/IP 协议。通过网络，用户可以浏览并共享文件，可能的话修改其他电脑上的数据，多台电脑同时播放电影或音乐，还可以通过即时短信聊天，互发电子邮件，玩游戏等。 最普遍使用局域网的方法也许就是仅用一个路由器将用户联网。现在，我们使用宽带或者 DSL 调制解调器联网。要是仅通过一个调制解调器连接每一台电脑会很不方便。所以我们只用一个调制解调器连接路由器，然后将路由器通过以太网网线连接电脑。 安装局域网一开始可能很有挑战性，但是现在的操作系统会自动完成大部分必要的系统配置工作，从而使安装变得简单很多。
