21、If you’re a parent, you’re well aware of just how many challenges virtual schooling presents. It’s incredibly stressful to get your kids to pay attention in their “classrooms”. Well, now there’s another thing you need to worry about: hackers. As more school districts rely on remote learning, they’re increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals.
Believe it or not, your email address is actually a hacker’s primary method of attaining your families’ personal information. That’s why you need to be on the lookout for phishing emails. These emails appear to be from a legal company you’re familiar with—like your bank, credit card company, an online store, or, yes, a school—but are actually from a hacker.
However, there are a few tricks to decode if an email is fake or not. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), these emails often “tell a story to trick you into clicking on a link or opening an attachment.” If you receive an email asking you to update your account, change your password, or make a payment, do a little digging first and contact the company directly to ensure that it is indeed legal.
There are indeed some alarming things a hacker can do when they steal your children’s information. According to FTC, “a child’s Social Security number can be used by identity thieves to apply for government benefits, open bank and credit card accounts or apply for a loan, which may go unnoticed for years—usually until they’re adults and attempt to open a credit card.” To make matters worse, a criminal doesn’t even need the child’s complete information to cook up a new identity. “Known as ‘synthetic identity theft’, the thief grabs a Social Security number and combines it with a fake name, address, phone number, and more,” explains the Identity Theft Resource Center, “That makes it a little harder for victims and law enforcement to notice the problem in the first place or take action after the fact.”
【1】Why do we need to watch out for phishing emails?
A.They make our emails too crowded to operate.
B.They are from a legal organization that is familiar to you.
C.It is impossible to tell whether an email is authentic or not.
D.It may be quite easy for hackers to steal personal information.
【2】Which method is effective to distinguish a phishing email from a legal one?
A.To put it into the trash with little digging.
B.To click on the link and open the attached files.
C.To update your account and change the password.
D.To check its validity with the sender of the email.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The definition of “synthetic identify theft”.
B.The approaches to protecting children’s information.
C.The consequences of children’s information being stolen.
D.The suggestions on preventing children from internet addiction.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Email hack: a disastrous threat
B.Email hack: an unavoidable issue
C.School hack: an unnoticeable but terrible threat
D.School hack: an invisible hand affecting children’s study
22、There are various ways in which to read body language so that you can understand how someone is feeling. Reading emotional clues(线索)is one of them.
Crying is considered to be caused by an explosion of emotion in most cultures. Oftentimes crying is considered a sign of sadness, but crying can also be an expression of happiness. Crying can also come about through laughter and humor. Thus, when judging crying, you’ll need to look for other signs to determine the meaning of the crying. Crying can also be forced in order to gain sympathy or to cheat others. This practice is known as “crocodile tears”, an expression that draws on the wrong idea that crocodiles “cry” when catching prey(猎物).

23、 One of the first great intellectual achievements of a young child is learning how to talk, closely followed by learning how to count. From earliest childhood we are so associated with our system of numeration(计数)that it is hard to consider the problems faced by early humans who had not yet developed this ability. Rather than being an ability that comes naturally to a person, it is one of the great achievements of the human race.
It will never be known how and when this numeration ability developed, but it is certain that numeration was well developed by the time humans had formed even semi-permanent settlements. When early humans began to settle, grow plants and herd animals, the need for a complex number system became important.
Evidence of early stages of numeration can be readily found The indigenous (土著的) peoples of Tasmania were only able to count one, two, many. But in real situations the number and words are often accompanied by gestures to help smooth any confusion. For example, when using the one, two, many type of system, the word many would mean. Look at my hands and how many fingers I am showing you. This approach is limited in the range of numbers that it can express, but generally enough.
The lack of ability of some cultures to deal with large numbers is not really surprising. The average person in the seventh century in Europe was not as familiar with numbers as we are today. In fact, to qualify as a witness in a court of law, a man had to be able to count to nine!
Counting is not directly related to the formation of a number concept because it is possible to count by matching the items being counted against a group of pebbles or fingers. Such aids, while different, are still used even by the most educated in today s society due to their convenience.
【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Talking is more important than counting. B.Numeration is of significance to humans.
C.Numeration system comes naturally to us. D.Our early ancestors had problems surviving.
【2】A complex number system was necessary for our early ancestors when they

【3】What do the underlined words “This approach” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Counting one, two and many. B.Combining words and numbers.
C.Using the Tasmanian language. D.Making additional hand signals.
【4】In the seventh century, a man in Europe wasn’t accepted as a witness in court probably because _________.
A.he wasn’t familiar with law B.he didn’t have a good reputation
C.he wasn’t good at expressing himself D.he couldn’t count to certain number
