Typing your password or credit card number into a computer is a moment"s work. But if you think your
personal details disappear as soon as you hit the Return key, think again: they can sit on the computer"s hard
disk for years waiting for a hacker (黑客) to take them.
As people spend more time on the web and hackers become more experienced, the dangers of storing
personal information on computers are growing by the day, security experts say. There are some safe-guards,
such as never allowing your computer to store your passwords. But even that in no guarantee of security.
When you type in a password, it is stored in random access memory (RAM), where it is held temporarily
until other data overwrites it or the computer is switched off.
But every so often, the computer copies the contents of its RAM onto hard disk, where it is easy to prey
(捕获) for a hacker, who can read it directly or design a worm to e-mail it back. The longer sensitive data
stays in RAM, the more likely it is to be copied onto the disk, where it stays until it is overwritten-which might
not happen for years.
Tal Garfinkel and colleagues from Stanford University have created a software tool which simulates (模拟)
the workings of a complete computer system. Within the simulation, sensitive data can be tagged and then
tracked as it passes through the system. Next, Garfinkel and his team simulated computers running common
software that regularly handles passwords or secret personal information, such as Internet Explorer, the
Windows login script and Apache server software.
In a paper to be presented, they conclude that the programs took no measures to limit the length of time
the information is kept. Some of the tested software even copied the sensitive information, obviously without
restraint (阻拦).
B. Passwords help keep your personal information.
C. It"s unsafe to store personal information on computers.
D. There are some safeguards for your personal information.
B. the hard disk
C. a worm
D. the e-mail
B. protect personal information from being stolen
C. see how a complete computer system works
D. tag and track sensitive data on the computer
B. Hackers should be heavily punished.
C. Better computer programs are needed.
D. Program developers are to blame.

same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest
of the world.
Here is a 2-way student exchange in action. Fred, 19, spent last year in Germany with George"s family.
In turn, George"s son Mike spent a year in Fred"s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after 2 months of studying, the
language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much
harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that
were usually taken in the US.
Family life, too, was different. The father"s word was the law. All the activities were done with the family
rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.
"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk but
you soon learn to like it."
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. "I suppose
I should criticize American schools." he says, "It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a
lot in Germany, we do nothing buy study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe
American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."

and liberal arts (文科) classes in high school, a practice that allows them to stay competitive (有竞争力的) in
college entrance exam by choosing preferred subjects. The debate came after the Ministry of Education began
to ask for opinions from the public on Friday on whether it was necessary and possible to stop the dividing
system, which has been accepted for decades.
In a survey started by www. qq. com, more than 260 000 people cast their votes, with 54 percent of
those voted for the abolishment (废除) and 40 percent against.
A netizen from Chengdu said:"Sciences can activate the mind, while arts could strengthen their learning
ability."
But some people disagreed with him. A netizen nicknamed "gentle scholar" said the students would have
more burden if they have more subjects to study. "You don"t even know how difficult the courses are. I
suggest a survey among students."
"Abolish the current system of division? We have to study nine subjects? Finally we will study everything
and have learnt little," wrote another netizen.
Li Yanling, an education expert in Beijing, called on education authorities to consider students" school
burden. Chinese students are required to choose either arts or sciences subjects after ten years" education,
which include six years in primary school, three years in junior high school and one year in senior high
school.
Besides the Chinese language, mathematics and English, which are must for everyone, science students
are required to take physics, biology and chemistry, while arts students study politics, history and geography.

C. have more advantages to enter a university
D. show interest in daily life
B. is against the abolishment
C. doesn"t care the abolishment
D. prefers students to learn more
B. More people on the Internet are for the abolishment
C. The students who are against the abolishment think abolishing the current system of division will heavy
their burden.
D. Science students are required to take physics, biology and chemistry besides Chinese, math and English.

necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here"s how:
1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you
have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating,
sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don"t forget to set aside enough
time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize
what is happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which
may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios,
or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the
teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what
the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points
that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read
that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about
a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won"t end if you don"t pass a test, so
don"t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others
after you have tried these.

| You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unfortunately, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience. As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether or not it is "easy" reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? These latter situations are a chance to learn from the writer"s mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how an author does "his thing"... he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing (分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole. Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer (消费者) rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic (基本的) level, however, nothing is more suitable than your devotion to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book"s worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺). As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer. | |||||||||||||||||||
