Often we do a lot of researching, shopping, talking―just about everything online nowadays. New ad?vancements in revolution comes along with the unwanted at?tackers. There are people out there who gain pleasure from interrupting and taking from our peaceful lives wh< . ：， not rightfully theirs. But there are indeed counteractive measures that can be set in place to fend off these predators from such damage. I'd like to introduce Guardian Eye.

Within this program is a complex program which has several functions to create a safe atmosphere for whoever uses the computer. It has the ability to track and log every key?stroke, every website that has ever been accessed, take screenshots of web pages, block web pages according to con?tent and even send you messages via e-mail once conspicuous (可疑的)activities have been reported and logged. Just think, you or your children could be browsing and searching through the Internet and inappropriate content pops up with several different windows.

If you'd like the full package, it's a one-time fee of $ 39. 99 and can be installed on unlimited computers for your convenience.

B [2015*山东菏泽高三二模]

Picking a university is a tense period of asking yourself which institution is the most relevant. That's why university rankings play such a vital role in students' searching for their next academic directions. Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities. "No university website is complete without the claim that it is in the top 100 for something or other," reported the BBC. The reason is simple: rankings help them to attract students, staff and that research investment.

Currently there are numbers of university rankings, and each has its own list of criteria. But the main categories are the same_: academic reputation, graduates' performance and faculty resources.

However, experts point out the ranking process isn't en?tirely reliable. Mark Kantrowitz, a US financial aid researc?her, said university rankings were mostly just for show. He wrote in The Ne-w York Times ， "It may give your parents better bragging rights? but that's about it.，，

Moreover, it's not difficult to see the limitations of uni?versity rankings. Many rankings focus on the number of times that research work is cited(弓|用)by other researchers. It helps the UK and the US universities to dominate global rankings because English is the favoured language of acade-mia， John O'Leary, a member of Quacquarelli Symonds, told The Guardian, Also, rankings such as QS World University Rankings mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students. "Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study, but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important," said Phil Moss, an education and admissions consultant. " Advice from graduates or current students can be valuable in providing a genuine insight into the experience or quality of a particular degree programme. It can also add an element that rankings can never convey—-the actual emo?tion of a university experience."

5.Why do universities consider rankings important?

A.     Rankings make them more appealing.

B.     Rankings are students' only reference.

C.     Rankings can increase their academic levels.

D.     Rankings help them complete their websites.

6.What does the underlined word " It ，， in Paragraph 4 refer to?

 A.     Academic research work.

B.     The number of researches.

C.     The way of ranking universities.

D.     The limitation of university rankings.

7.According to John O'Leary, what helps the UK and the US universities rank well?

 A.     The wide use of English in academia.

B.     Their outstanding qualities.

C.     Their graduates' excellent performance.

D.     The academia's favour to them.

8.Besides rankings,  what does Phil Moss suggest you should refer to if you're picking a university?

 A.     Investment in education.

B.     Guidance from professors.

C.     Information on websites.

D.     Suggestions from students.
