systems on mobile devices. The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the
Apple iPhone. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.
Allan Friedman, the research director, says,"All wireless companies do some location tracking as
part of their networks. This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there
are laws to protect it. Law enforcement (执法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard
before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.
Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple
devices. They said Apple"s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp
information. The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上传) to any computer
that the device is connected to. The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access
to the device or computer.
Allan Friedman says,"This raises additional concerns. There"s the idea that because it"s on my phone
and on my computer, rogue applications (恶意程序) that I pay for or that I"m tricked into downloading
may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it."
Apple says it is "not tracking the location of your iPhone". It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi
hotspots and cellphone towers near the user"s location. This information is meant to help the iPhone
quickly find its location when needed.
Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google.
The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. Allan Friedman calls this
an important start to strengthening privacy laws. He says,"There aren"t strong controls over things like
location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. And perhaps the most
important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?"
B. Because many users have suffered loss after using them.
C. Because it is thought to threaten users" privacy.
D. Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.
B. people are forbidden to get access to private data at will
C. phone companies may sell private information secretly
D. customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking
B. Apple"s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.
C. Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone.
D. Apple"s newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users.
B. The researchers may misunderstand the Apple"s systems.
C. The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.
D. The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user"s information.

shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to
shake hands with their opponents (对手) after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport
shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then
hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. It seems like competitors in every
event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What"s going on?
It"s all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and
handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.
What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game,
respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect.
Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports-in other words, treating the
people you play with and against as you"d like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship
when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides,
and for the referees, judges, and other officials.
But sportsmanship isn"t just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders and fans also need to be
aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a
positive influence on everyone around you.
Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over
into other areas of life. At school, for example, you"re able to appreciate the contributions made by
classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. You may enjoy more success
at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others,
including customers and co-workers.
B. comparing several sport events
C. explaining some game rules
D. giving some specific examples
B. they play in a skilled way
C. they play within the rules
D. they play without hurting each other
B. provide some basic sport knowledge
C. show the meaning of sportsmanship
D. expect players to compete actively

1 . Since that time, we"ve provided people like you-teachers, doctors, salespeople, full-time parents-with

The non-stop routine of everyday life-answering e-mails, sitting in staff meetings-can have a dulling effect
on people"s senses. 2 . Otherworld provides just such an opportunity. It is an experience participants cherish and remember for years afterwards.

"Two full inches in the first three days!"
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new
shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can
shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. Where they produce
are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand
something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration)
can require proof (证明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that safe and effective before it is put on
the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no author to require premarketing proof of safety or
effectiveness. If a product already on the marker danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor
to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for
reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the customers through contact pads.
FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the products to the grounds that it was
dangerous to health and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the maker have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼),
and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to the safety or effectiveness of
such items.
B. costly
C. unreliable
D. illegal
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits.
B. if it is a device
C. if its consumers make complaints
D. if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority
B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D. an example of a quality beauty product
B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D. introduce the organization of FDA
culture. That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they don"t usually get very drunk.
That"s not true any more. The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percent of
Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. Now, the city of Milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. Anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700.
Young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective (观点). The US
has the highest drinking age in the world: It"s illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses.
Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair: They are allowed to vote in elections and
join the army at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?
These young people have found help in an unusual place. Last year, more than 100 presidents of US
universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. They argued that the law
doesn"t stop underage college kids from getting drunk - it just makes them want to drink more.
For now, the law seems unlikely to change. But US teenagers who want alcohol can go north to Canada,
where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18. Throughout much of Asia,
Africa and Europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18.
In plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if
they have the money to pay for it.
No matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. Teenagers in Milan are now
learning that their reckless (不顾后果的) drinking behavior may come at a high price. By Ariel Lown Lewiton,
21st Teens Staff
B. forbids selling alcohol to people under 16
C. is welcomed by Italian young people
D. has reduced the number of underage youths getting drunk
B. New York
C. Mexico
D. Canada
B. they agree that people old enough to vote and join the army should be allowed to drink
C. they believe the law is pushing underage youths toward alcohol instead of stopping them
D. they don"t want to see US teenagers going to neighboring countries for a drink
B. The author thinks that US teenagers should go to Canada or Mexico to drink.
C. In many places, shop owners don"t mind selling alcohol to underage customers.
D. Teens in Milan have to pay a lot of money for their reckless drinking behavior.
the rest of their lives. With technology and everything else changing so fast, it"s ridiculous to expect to stay
in one job from the time you leave school to the time you retire. Even staying in the same company can be
a huge challenge. 2
The first thing you should consider is what kinds of things you enjoy doing and what you are naturally
good at. You have to look at practicality issues. You have to look at what you like to do and take a realistic
look at whether the market is ever going to pay you an income for doing it. Your loving doing something
doesn"t mean that the world is going to love giving you money for doing it. 3 And then narrow the list
down by deciding which are at your level.
4 For example, if you want to be a doctor, you must graduate with all the papers saying you can be
a doctor. The job requires a high education and an extreme amount of practice.
Many community colleges have tests that tell you what kinds of work you"d be happy to do. 5 For
example, do you want to travel in your career or stay at home? How much money do you want to make?
After you answer these questions, the computer will show you what careers you would be suited to. Keep
in mind that what interests you at twenty isn"t likely to be the same as what interests you at forty. You would
also find some tests online. These will give you some ideas you have never considered.
B. What type of jobs are you interested in most?
C. So pick a number of different things that you love at first.
D. Most people"s jobs change at least once or twice in their lifetime.
E. They ask you a series of multiple-choice (多项选择的) questions.
F. However, many companies will offer you job training before you start the work.
G. Another thing to consider is how much education or special training s required.
