Giant leap for China

  A few days ago, he was just Colonel (上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei's smile was seen across the world above the magic words: “China's first spaceman”.

  The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a. m. last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou V spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a. m. the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.

  Yang was satisfied with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful,” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.

  Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1,350 hours in the air. He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later.

  While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China's national flag and the United Nations' flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.

  Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk.

  He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitational forces (重力) on takeoff and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes.

  He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.

  “I eat all of my meals at the space programme's dinning room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten,” he said. “I've never met his teachers.”

  But becoming China's first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile.

  “When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn't help feeling excited,” he said. “I decided that I had to fly it. ”

  To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum (网上论坛) said: “Yang's trip is a giant leap forward for China. ”

  Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005. China also plans to develop space walking and a space lab.

1.What is the main idea of the story?

[  ]

A.China's first manned space flight.

B.A hero with great courage

C.The first Chinese man in space

D.How Yang Liwei became China's first spaceman

2.How long did each of Yang's orbits take on average?

[  ]

A.1 hour.
B.1.5 hours.
C.6 hours.
D.The story didn't mention.

3.Why did the writer mention the gravitational forces on takeoff and landing?

[  ]

A.To stress the hardship and the spaceman had to experience.

B.Because it was a very special experience for any spacemen.

C.To stress how much training he had to do to prepare for the flight

D.To show that Yang is lucky.

4.Why did the writer use “giant leap” in the title?

[  ]

A.Because the space flight marked China's great progress in the field of space exploration.

B.Because Neil Armstrong said it was a “giant leap” for mankind when he first set foot on the moon.

C.Because the space flight was a huge success.

D.Both A and B

Smartphone Security Blankets

  Security-for the information on your smartphone, as well as for the phone itself-is a hot topic these days.The truth is that you're packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone, and you should keep it safe.

  When it comes to physical security, iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone, a free app(application program)from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your(lost, stolen or misplaced)phone on a map.You can then sound an alarm, send a message that will pop up on its screen, lock the phone or erase all your data.

  Android does not have an exact equivalent, but there are plenty of alternatives.A free app called Lookout offers the find-my-phone feature.The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your phone remotely.

  Then there is your coffee shop's WiFi network.Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on(窥视)people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data.Lookout's apps will caution you when you've logged on to an unsecure network, but cannot protect you once you're there.

  In order to protect yourself on such networks, you can use a virtual private network, or V.P.N.This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across the Starbucks.It also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you're traveling, allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries.

  If you have an iPhone, the simplest V.P.N.app is probably Hotspot Shield, whose distinguishing feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing(浏览), as opposed to other V.P.N.apps that require you to start them up manually.This matters, because even if you decide you want a V.P.N.app, you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it.For the most part, that was true of Hotspot Shield, though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost connection without warning.I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes, which involved setting my phone constantly.

  If even reading about the settings on your phone drives you crazy, then it is probably best to stay away from a V.P.N.app.But if you're the type who can't resist checking your bank balance from your corner bar, the hassle may be preferable to the risk.

(1)

Which of the following can warn you against the unsecure network?

[  ]

A.

Android.

B.

V.P.N.

C.

Lookout.

D.

Find My iPhone.

(2)

By using V.P.N., users can ________.

[  ]

A.

find their lost phone on the Internet

B.

erase all the data from the phone remotely

C.

check their bank balance now and then

D.

save their browsing from being tracked

(3)

The underlined word “that” in Para.6 refers to the fact that ________.

[  ]

A.

a V.P.N.app kicks in automatically

B.

the user starts V.P.N.apps manually

C.

the app takes a while to connect

D.

users spend no time thinking about it
