21、How safe in personal information on your computer or cellphone? Not very safe, potentially. Despite this, there are some simple steps you can take to make your online experience safer.

Manage passwords

What we pick as passwords and how we manage them are important, according to Murat Kantarcioglu, professor and director at the Data Security and Privacy Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas. First, passwords should never include your personal information. Ideally, passwords are a combination of lowercase（小写）and uppercase（大写）letters and random characters.

It could be harder to remember, but that's why password managers are good to use for some websites. Kantarcioglu does not recommend using password manager apps for sites that have sensitive information, however. Store them in your brain.

View emails with a careful eye

Deceptive phishing（欺诈性的网络钓鱼）is one of the most common types of trick. Hackers（黑客）can make emails look like real company emails that can trick readers into clicking on dangerous links. You could end up introducing a virus to your computer or giving sensitive information to the wrong people. It's best to search for the original source of the information and find the direct link from the site instead of using the link provided in the email.

Use two factor authentication

Two-factor authentication（双重认证）adds a second level of security to an account. It's a security option that requires a password as well as an additional piece of information only the user would know. Sometimes, it's a code sent to your cellphone that has to be entered after a password. The additional feature can keep your information much safer.

【1】What do we need to do with our passwords?

A．Include our personal information.

B．Use some complicated English words.

C．Keep them in our mind.

D．Write them down in our notebook.

【2】If you don't want to be attacked by hackers, which of the following is required?

A．Searching for the original sources from the site.

B．Linking your sensitive information with your friend's.

C．Caring for the environment around you.

D．Storing some additional information in your cellphone.

【3】What in the text mainly about?

A．Finding safety in a digital world.

B．Educating the teenagers how to use websites.

C．A prediction about the future of internet.

D．The security of your managed passwords.

22、Working-from-home dream now a reality

Sunjit Patel is a graphic designer with a well known publishing company. He has lived in England since he was five. He lives in South London, and for the last three years he has been working from home. Sunjit isn’t alone. 【1】 In addition, about eight million people spend some time working in the home rather in an office. This is almost twice as many as ten years ago.

This rapidly-growing trend towards working from home is the same in many countries. But why? The main reason is technological: easy access to the Internet and the availability of phone and video-conferencing. These enable people to use their home as an office in an efficient and cost-effective way.

【2】 Office space is costly, so if an organization can reduce its workstations, it may be able to move to a smaller site. Employees often work better at home: travelling to work can be tiring and costs a lot time. Many homeworkers save a lot of time if they don’t travel to work and they can start the day fresher and there work more efficiently.

Sunjit Patel says, “I have been working from home since my son was born and have been really enjoying it. 【3】 I have known my boss and colleagues for a long time now, which really helps because you’ve got to trust each other. You also need to have regular contact, by phone, email or video conferences, and you need to make regular trips to your office. Otherwise you really miss out on the gossip and on the social side of work.”

【4】 This response to a survey on homeworking was recently posted on the Internet: ‘The only people who can work from home are those who do an unnecessary job. Can surgeons work from home? Ambulance drivers? If you can work from home full-time, you have a pointless job.’

A．But, I can tell you that homeworking requires special skills like time management.

B．Not everyone agrees with Sunjit though.

C．Actually, I found it hard to work from home at first.

D．In Britain, there are 2.1 million people who work from home at present.

E．Sunjit has a lot of supporters.

F．Other reasons for homeworking are the benefits to both employers and employees.

23、The term “birdbrain” is frequently used to describe a person’s lack of intelligence and good decision-making ability. However, some scientists believe it should be considered a compliment, given that many birds can perform tasks that were once considered human fields. These include making tools, solving problems, and planning for future needs. Now, Griffin, an African Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even possess better visual memories than human adults and children.

The study led by Hrag Pailian, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, required the parrot to compete in the shell game against 21 adults and 216-to 8-year-old children. The popular game involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upside-down cups, which are moved around. Participants are required to accurately identify the cup under which the object lies.

The Harvard team began by placing different-colored pom-poms under four cups and moving them around. To make the task more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four pom-poms at the same time. The cup positions we removed between zero to four times for each of the combinations.

An analysis of the results showed that Griffin outperformed the children across all levels on average. Even more impressive, the “bird brain” performed as well as, or slightly better, than the 21 Harvard students on12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most pom-poms and most movement that the parrot fell behind the adults. However, Griffin’s performance never dropped below that of the children.

The fun experiment was part of a study conducted to test the brain’s ability to keep memories of things that are no longer in view and then updating them when faced with new information, like a change in location. The cognitive system, known as visual working memory, is one of the foundations for intelligent behavior.

【1】What does the underlined word “compliment” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Praise.

B．Promise.

C．Criticism.

D．Misunderstanding.

【2】What did the study find about Griffin?

A．It could read human mind.

B．It could keep goodnight vision.

C．It could memorize complex numbers.

D．It could outsmart adults in visual memory game.

【3】What do we know about the last two tests involving adults and the parrot?

A．They’re disappointing.

B．They’re challenging.

C．They’re effortless.

D．They’re fruitless.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Entertainment.

B．Science.

C．Health.

D．Education.

24、Believe it or not, school uniforms are absolutely not only clothes for students. They stand for the culture or beauty appreciation standard of a country.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

For hundreds of years, education has been closely connected to writing. Professors had been writing down their lectures, and students had been keeping notes after their teachers. Goose feathers and parchment (羊皮纸) changed to ballpoint pens and paper, but the essence has remained the same: knowledge passed down from one person to another must be thoroughly recorded.

With the emergence and development of mobile technologies such as laptops and smartphones, using conventional methods is gradually becoming obsolete (废弃的). Students tend to use laptops in class more often than pens and paper. And although there are still many educational institutions that ban using computers in class, there are many arguments in favor of doing so.

On the one hand, let us face reality: people do not write as much today as they used to several years ago. This is especially true in the case of the youth: teenagers and young adults tend to feel more confident and comfortable typing on their devices rather than with handwriting. Keeping records after a teacher in class requires a student to write very fast, which often decreases the readability of the notes taken. Sometimes it can be quite difficult for a student to understand what he or she hurriedly wrote down in class. At the same time, typing on a laptop helps write the important information down in a comprehensible and accurate way. Also, handwriting always involves grammatical mistakes, typos, blots (墨水迹), and so on. Obviously, students experience little-to-none of such problems while using computers.

On the other hand, technology is something youth nowadays have got so accustomed to that without it, they operate less efficiently. Students are native to such devices as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other gadgets, and naturally incorporate them in whatever they do, be it leisure time or studying. Not allowing students to use tablets in class means to deprive (剥夺) them of something that is almost a part of them and of their daily lives. If young people know how to use technology to their advantage and increase their studying effectiveness with its help, why forbid them from doing it?
