Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting (骗过) his high school"s monitoring system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life.
While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears.
When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many "security measures" in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen.
He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地).
The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.

Not size, of course. I"ve been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it"s readily apparent no
one lives there. Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the
hostess" bed -a home that had more warmth than any house I"ve been in since.
Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released Home: The
Blueprints of Our Lives. There Edwards writes, " This is a book about homes, the values they rest on,
the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances are
different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar."
Whether you"re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving,
or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he"s talking about.
We"ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years. The loose windows that make noise in the wind. The
fireplace so shallow it holds only one log. The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.
It"s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only
18, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see
far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.
While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you"re with,
not where you are. As Edwards writes, "Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith."
Happy homecoming.
B. What"s Inside Makes Us Feel at Home
C. Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives
D. The Importance of the Home
B. prove the author got along well with the hostess
C. mean the feeling of home isn"t related to the size
D. show the author"s different feelings about houses
B. it is mainly about houses
C. it helps us understand the concept of home
D. it was written by the author of the text
B. He missed the feelings of home.
C. He hated living there.
D. He missed his old friends too much.
B. every happy home is the same
C. the author has been living a hard life
D. the author and Edwards hold similar ideas
Competitors have to do two things.The first is to stand still.The second is to place their hands anywhere
on the body of a car,and keep it there.
This is where things start getting difficult.Lots of people are doing the same thing.And the winner of
the "handathon" contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time.That person gets to
own the car.
It still seems to be an easy thing to do.At the beginning it is.Anyone can stand still.But when the
contest has been going for four or five days,standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world.
And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention.After a few days,the
hand seems to belong to someone else-someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.
Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat,drink or do whatever else is
necessary.No one is allowed to lean on the car for support.Winners need to be able to show great
powers of attention.They also need to be able to develop special skills.
Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete
to enter.Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don"t seem to do much preparation.Most say they
will prepare by "getting lots of sleep".Others say they will "eat healthy food" or "pray for success".The
whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.
Handathons are competitions,but there is little rivalry (敌对) between competitors.They help each
other out and keep each other"s spirits up.People who drop out early return with food,drink and
encouragement.
B. keep hands in place for long
C. wave hands as long as possible
D. do the same thing as in a marathon
B. Not leaning on the car.
C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.
D. Having strong powers of attention.
B. It doesn"t need to make any preparation.
C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.
D. People get along well with each other in it.
B. It is the easiest of all sports.
C. It can purify people"s spirits.
D. It is not good competing in a handathon.
B. The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car,and keep it there.
C. The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.
D. Handathons are competitions,so competitors don"t encourage each other.
me-monists (记忆能手). Born in Russia in about 1900, he spent much of his life performing memory
skills that people found difficult to believe. He could memorize long lists of numbers after reading them
through once, and he could then recite them forwards or back-wards. He could also remember the same
numbers months later. He could easily remember lists of names, dozens of playing cards or hundreds of
cities.
Although he had a wonderful memory, he found some normal skills very difficult. For example, he
found it difficult to learn to read. He also found it difficult to recognize patterns in words or numbers.
When presented with a long list of numbers like this: 1234 4231 5678 8765 6789 9876 he could not
see that there was a pattern. If he could see or hear a collection of numbers, he could remember it.
However, this did not mean that he could understand what he was looking at. He could remember long
complex mathematical formulas, but could not understand what the numbers meant.
Solomon suffered from a condition known as Synaesthesia. This meant that all of his senses were
connected in a special way. In other words, when he heard a particular word he also experienced a
unique taste, or saw a unique color. Each word that he heard brought a particular description into his
mind. Each word for him was unique, because he remembered it as a taste, a smell, a color or a sound,
or all of them together.
He was not a clever man except this ability and people found him rather stupid. He found it difficult to
become friends with other people because his mind was so different. In a way, his memory was a curse (祸根). He remembered everything, and that made it difficult for him to understand anything.
B. if Solomon read a list of numbers he could immediately remember them
C. Solomon could memorize long list of numbers and found their patterns
D. people thought Solomon could remember the most things in the world
B. never knew what people meant when they said to him
C. could not work out some simple math problems
D. found everything he did was meaningless
B. confuses feelings with c61ors or tastes
C. often connects words he (or she) hears with things he (or she) experienced
D. each word he (or she) hears changes its meaning completely
B. some people are actually quite stupid though they seem clever
C. having a good memory does not mean having good intelligence
D. the more you can memorize, the more stupid you will certainly be
however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably
don"t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other
hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often
gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That"s why
Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good,
says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem
to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less
depression(抑郁). They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on
sleeping.
So it doesn"t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important.
Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it"s worth hurting yourself by
staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it"s OK. Instead, it"s a
way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
B. based on his own experience
C. by mentioning some studies
D. by mentioning some typical patients
B. introduce a famous expert
C. let the reader know the different colours of cartoon faces
D. show how to control one"s temper
B. keeping up
C. getting rid of
D. learning about
B. People who are able to forgive feel less depression.
C. People who are able to forgive have fewer problems on sleeping.
D. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.
B. Forgiveness Is Good for Health
C. A Secret to Keeping Health
D. Anger Is Bad for Health
阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求将答案答题(请注意问题后的要求)。
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where
we"ve never been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of
behavior that should be followed when online.
The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine
how you"d feel if you were in the other person"s shoes. For anything you"re about to send: ask
yourself, "Would I say this to the person"s face?" If the answer is "no", rewrite and reread.
Repeat the process till you feel sure that you"d feel comfortable saying the words to the
person"s face.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct(本能反应)is to fire back in the
same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat
software to block their messages. If it was caused by disagreement with another member,
try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions
of others in the chat room.
If you do decide to tell someone in the chat room about a mistake, point it out politely. At
the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that
you have offended.
It is not polite such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person
very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don"t ask such questions.
2. Why should we ask ourselves "Would I say this to the person"s face?" when we are to send a
message online? (Please answer within 20 words.)
3. Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph to complete the sentence.(Please answer within
10 words.)
4. Which rule do you think is the best? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.
