    They may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.
    Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.
    Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密）them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.
    The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.
    Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.
    Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.
    Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.
    Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.

    1. 1.

      According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _______.

      1. A.
        The number of computer hacking incidents.

        The number of wireless computer networks identified.
      3. C.

    In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc together with two brothers named McDonald opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, “McDonald’s”, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and around the world.
    Why was his idea successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant that they had less time or energy to prepare meals, so they spent more on “ TV dinners ” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.
    Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged (包装) or processed(处理). This preference for natural food continued to this day.
    From the success of Raymond Kroc’s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.

    1. 1.

      The underlined sentence “Cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth” means that ______.

      1. A.
        cooking for some people is worth more money
      2. B.
        it is not worthwhile to take too much time to cook for one person
      3. C.
        there are more problems when one person cooks
      4. D.
        cooking for one person cost more money
    2. 2.

      Para 3&4 seem to imply (暗示) that ________.

      1. A.
        many married women began to work in the 1960s
      2. B.
        natural foods are still popular today
      3. C.
        fast food is not part of the diet of all Americans
      4. D.
        divorce (离婚) causes people to change their eating habits
    3. 3.

      Which of the following is NOT the reason for McDonald’s success?

      1. A.
        people living alone tend to depend on fast food
      2. B.
        single parents have little time to spend in the kitchen
      3. C.
        many women returned to the workplace in the 1960s
      4. D.
        Kroc chose the “Mc Donald” brothers as his partners
    4. 4.

      The main purpose of the passage is to tell us________.

      1. A.
        Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the world
      2. B.
        social and economic changes affect eating habits
      3. C.
        fast-food is easy to prepare and serve quickly
      4. D.
        Americans eat either fast food or natural food

    Once upon a time, there was a scholar who wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge. One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student. The saint provided some tea. He slowly filled the scholar’s cup: the cup was full, yet he kept pouring and pouring. The scholar burst out, “Stop! You can’t add anything to something that’s already full!” The saint set down the teapot and replied, “Exactly.”
    Whether it’s the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively. Yet most of us, myself included, tend to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available-closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself.
    However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life. For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity（能力），unlike Americans pushing as close to 100% as possible. So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you.
    Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds. How to empty your “cup”?
    Be mindful of the element of space, openness , and emptiness  in your life. This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open-mindedness in a friend. Sometimes you’re just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do. But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks. Put some space between finishing one thing and staring another. For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one. Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around. At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if you’re hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go.

    1. 1.

      By pouring water into the cup, the saint most probably wanted the scholar to know that     .

      1. A.
        he should pay attention to details
      2. B.
        he should keep learning every day
      3. C.
        he had already gained enough knowledge
      4. D.
        he should be very careful in order to succeed
    2. 2.

      We learn that compared to Americans, Australians      .

      1. A.
        work much harder
      2. B.
        know less about their capacity
      3. C.
        spare more time for themselves
      4. D.
        spend less time with their friends
    3. 3.

      The underlined word“lug”in the last paragraph probably means“     ”.

      1. A.
        reach
      2. B.
        carry
      3. C.
        see
      4. D.
        show
    4. 4.

      What’s  the structure of the passage?

      1. A.
        Example →advice→ conclusion →story.
      2. B.
        Topic→ example →advice→ story.
      3. C.
        Story→topic →example→advice.
      4. D.
        Reason →topic →advice →example.
    5. 5.

      What would be the best title for the passage?

      1. A.
        The art of life.
      2. B.
        Value every minute
      3. C.
        The art of drinking tea

    John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn' t, the girl with the rose.
    When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin (空白处). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner' s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
    He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army.

When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested--7:00 pm. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
    She wrote," You' ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat. "So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.

    She replied with a smile, I don' t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, l' d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

    A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Sweden called Sweden Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to 1896.

Also, he was a sick man in large part of his life. Nobel died at the age of sixty-three. When he died, he left a fund of $9,000,000.

    Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It might be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievement. In 1972, for example, not a Nobel Prize was given.

    Gyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create English words to reflect novel phenomenon in society.
    "Gelivable", combining pinyin of Chinese characters Geili (giving strength) with the English suffix for adjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool". Similarly, "Hengelivable" means "very cool", and "ungelivable" means "dull, not cool at all". "Antizen" referred to the group of college graduates who, earning a meager salary and living in small rented apartments, are like the tiny and laborious ants.
    David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University said it’s very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. “English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” he said. Chinese words and expressions were created, as well, by netizens. One example was “Suan Ni Hen”. This three-charessions were created, as well, by netizens. One example was “Suan Ni Hen”. This three-character expression, which originally meant “you win” with the first character carrying the same pronunciation as garlic in Chinese, is used to satirize（讽刺）high garlic and food prices this winter.
    Chinese people use the character “bei” before a verb to show a passive voice, and it is used by netizens to show the helplessness in front of false conclusions and fake media reports. For instance, “zisha” means “suicide” while “beizisha” means “be officially presumed to have committed suicide”, and xiaokang means “fairly comfortable life” while “beixiaokang” means “be said to be living a fairly comfortable life”.
    Wu Zhongmin, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, saw the phenomenon of word creation as a natural response of young people to social issues. “Cyber language is more vivid and it shortens people’s distances,” he said.

    1. 1.

      1. A.
        cyber language is popular among all people

        cyber language is of great fun
      3. C.
