I'm not the kind of mother who normally brushes her daughter's hair, and my daughter has never liked sitting there, waiting for me to do it.
But today, I've sat my daughter Sally on a kitchen stool(凳子)．She's sitting high with her eyes close, skin still wet from the shower, and her long hair behind her back.I realize she is enjoying the moment.It's the last time for a week that our bodies will connect.Today, I'm sending Sally away for a week of a summer camp.This was all my idea.She's nearly 12, and I noticed that I'm with my child nearly 24 hours a day.
Living on a farm without any neighbors, I've chosen a life that is quieter than a normal family's.But rather than expecting space away from me, Sally has become increasingly dependent.What frightens me most is that she has become a “mini?me”， even has the same hobbies, dreams, and opinions as me.That's why I pulled her to the summer camp: a nearby wilderness (荒野) camp called Hawk Circle.
After eating, I drive Sally to Hawk Circle.Once there, we are introduced to her fellow campers.Sally stands by them, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer.“I need you for a few more minutes，” I say loudly, “I'd like to introduce you to my daughter.Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He comes over to talk to Sally, and then I disappear before she realizes it.
It is a hard time for me to drive back.When I arrive home, I calm down and remind myself why I chose this way.I want Sally to have a chance to find herself.I want to learn who she is.If I don't set her free, I fear I'll never really meet her real personality.

Since May 12, a computer virus named WannaCry has infected（感染）more than 300,000 computers in over 150 countries, according to Reuters.
WannaCry is spread by using a weakness in Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Once the virus gets into the computer, it locks all the papers and asks the user for money to unlock them. At first, it asks for $300, but if the user doesn’t send the money in 72 hours, the price doubled, Papers are locked forever if the user doesn’t pay in seven days.
The virus has brought bad results. For example, in the UK, the virus left the country’s National Health Service in a mess. Some hospitals had to cancel patient appointments（预约）, reported The Telegraph. In China, the virus has hit thousands of computers, according to Qihoo 360. One of the most hard-hit groups in Qiu were university users. Many students’ graduation papers were locked. They felt nervous and frightened. Also many gas stations were seriously hit, and the payment system didn’t work.
WanaCry is the latest example of the cyber security（网络安全）problem. Matthew Hickey(who set up the security company Hacker House) said, “The attack is not surprising. It shows that many organizations do not use updates（更新）fast enough.” According to a survey, nearly half of the people said, “ We are not satisfied with the way software updates work.”
As China Daily wrote, “We can’t completely protect our computers against these kinds of viruses, as this cat and mouse game will continue forever. The best choice for most users is to take care online and always install（安装）software updates.”
1.If your papers are locked by WannaCry, how much do you need to pay to unlock them at first?
A. $ 150. B. $ 300. C. $ 450. D. $ 600.
2.According to the passage, the writer shows the bad results by ______.
A. giving reasons B. giving examples
C. comparing computers D. comparing number

A. Matthew Hickey thinks the attack on computers is very surprising
B. all the people are pleased with the way software update work
C. the computers can be completely protected against these viruses
D. we should take care online and update software fast enough
