On October 12, 1987, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots(點(diǎn) )crossing the computers’ screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror(恐懼), they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of( 除掉) by computer viruses! Obviously all these computers had been infected（感染 ） by computer viruses.
It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young man fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence.（才智）These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem( 耶路撒冷 )Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the function(功能), damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information.
We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading(傳播) to a list of computers. Among the countries that suffering computer viruses are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible remains a problem.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw Kyle from my class walking home from school. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd (a foolish person)." I had quite a weekend planned, so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running towards him. They knocked all his books out of his arms and tripped(絆倒) him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the glass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should go to hell." He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real thankfulness. I asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. I am here to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp(倒吸氣) go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.
小題1:Why did Kyle carry all his books home?
A．Because it was Friday.
B．Because he was a nerd.

Q: On Facebook, my friends are a mix of real-life pals, former classmates, professional colleagues, extended-family members, and … my mom. Mom is the first to like and comment on everything I post, which is annoying. I tried talking to her about it, but her feelings quickly got hurt, so I backed off. I know I can’t block her, but now I don’t want to post anything. How do I handle this?
A: This is about Facebook, not your mom. The often-shrugged-off truth about social media is that nothing is private. It’s easy to forget this, so in a way, you’re lucky that your mom is reminding you. Everything you post—comments, likes, photos—is freely available to future friends, employers, lovers etc unless blocked. That said, you can ask Mom again nicely to tone it down. You can also customize your controls so she can’t see everything you post.
Q: In which situations am I required to make a phone call versus send a text message?
A: A text is for information—time, date, news. It’s for the stuff you can keep short and sweet. A phone call is for analysis, discussion, opinion, and, if you must, gossip.
Q: I’m always on Facebook, so I just send messages to friends through the site. But when should I log off and send an e-mail?
A: When you’re serious about anything. Think of it as chatting with someone on a bus versus asking her to meet you for coffee. The former is good for casual conversation; the latter is personal and requires attention.
Q: For which occasions should I mail paper invitations versus send e-mail ones? (E-cards are free and easy—what’s not to love?!)
A: Anything important needs a paper invitation. That’s your baseline. So ask yourself: “Do I want people to dress up for this event?” If the answer is yes, dress up your invitation by making it printed instead of virtual. For more casual events and gatherings, e-card away.
Q: Is using emoticons ever inappropriate to express a feeling or make a point in texts or e-mails?
A: Emoticons are for fun. Is the message you’re writing fun? Use an emoticon. Are you asking for a big favor? Skip it. Is the message to your boss or a colleague? Skip it. Avoid them if you want to be taken seriously about anything.
Q: I have a big, happy announcement to share with a lot of people. Is it appropriate to share it on my blog?
A: Yes, so you don’t have to go cc-ing everyone in an e-mail. Post away. But send a private message to those who should know first.
Q: I have a big, sad announcement. What should I do?
A: Respect your privacy—and yourself. Pick up the phone and call a trusted friend or family member to let her know, and then ask her to help spread the news offline.
小題1:What do we learn about social media from the first Q and A?
A．It is illegal to keep track of personal privacy on Facebook.
B．Personal privacy is inaccessible online with control customized.
C．People tend to ignore privacy provided it is blocked purposefully.
D．We need someone to remind us constantly of our privacy online.
小題2:Which of the following is appropriate about using social media?
A．Sending texts to consult a doctor for surgery
B．Carrying on casual conversations via emails.
C．Emailing your boss with emoticons for promotion.
D．Writing a formal invitation for a dress-up event.
小題3:According to the passage, how would you make it known that you have won a scholarship to Harvard?
A．Arranging for a social gathering to celebrate it.
B．Informing your teachers who may help you spread.
C．Telling your parents before posting it on your blog.
D．Sending everyone a message privately to share it.

Sometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating (醞釀) the problem in your subconscious (潛意識(shí)) yet can't account for why it occurs.
When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subconscious mind doesn't quit working. Your thoughts keep making associations. This is why you're experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you've forgotten about, and ideas out of the blue when you're relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.
You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. The letter should read just like a letter you would send to a real person. Seal the letter and put it away.
Let go of the problem. Don't work on it. Forget it. Do something else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconscious. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.
An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign to introduce new television shows. Bob, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind. He called his subconscious mind "Secret Expert".
Secret Expert,
I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of TV shows. I'm interested in coming up with some kind of campaign that will capture the audience's attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need a fresh approach to advertising. Your mission is to give me a new idea on how to advertise TV shows.
Thanks, Bob
Bob mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on "eggs". Somehow an association between "foods", "need", and "fresh" approach" inspired the thought of using "fresh eggs to advertise". He arranged to place laser imprints of the slogans for the TV shows on eggs —some thirty million.
The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer them to the refrigerator, and when they crack them open. It's unlike any other ad medium in the world, because you're looking at it while you're using it.
小題1:You remember names when you're not thinking about them because your subconscious mind ____.
A．is still workingB．is full of names
C．stops workingD．improves your memory
小題2:Which of the following was included in Bob's letter to his subconscious mind?
A．How the solution could be found.
B．When he would need its help.
C．What product could be advertised
D．What he wanted it to do
小題3:During the incubation stage, your focused awareness _____.
A．waits for an answerB．controls your thoughts
C．doesn't workD．helps your unconscious
小題4: In what way did the ad on eggs help?
A．It helped Bob to get a brainstorm
B．It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly.
C．It greatly increased the sales of eggs.
D．It made sure consumers could get fresh eggs.
小題5:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Difference between Subconscious and Awareness
B．A fresh Approach to Advertising
C．Communicating with Your Subconscious Mind
D．Solving problems with your Subconscious Mind

Imagine that Mom and Dad have friends over, and you have to talk to adults all evening. Say the       thing and the parents might get mad. But, say      ,  and they’ll think you weren’t friendly. So,     can you talk with adults?
It’s __ __. Just ask them questions about themselves. “Many of them like to talk about what they do for a living,” suggests psychologist Tim Ursiny.
Kids can also talk to grown-ups about     . Ask what the last good movie they saw was, because people at dinner parties “     ” when the conversation turns to movies, Ursiny says. If a grown-up is     Harry Potter, it’s OK to talk about your love for Harry. It’s a(n)    __ topic, one that both grown-ups and kids can enjoy, so       and talk about whether Dumbledore is really dead.
But       the topic of video games. “Adults don’t want to hear about your video game      they play it,” Ursiny explains.
Adults also don’t want to hear slang(俚語). Don’t use language they don’t      . Ursiny says kids should learn to speak to other people in their own language.
     most adults aren’t into slang, they do remember what it was like to be a kid. Ursiny recommends asking adults what __ __ was like when they were your age. “It might be a fun discussion if you       your 10th-grade experience with theirs.”       you chat with your parents in advance to find out which topics are off-limits (禁區(qū)).
Also, don’t chat about the things that make your parents feel guilty. Don’t mention        stuff such as how Dad has been sleeping on the couch, Ursiny says. And don’t complain that Mom has been late preparing breakfast.
     , Ursiny says, kids should try to put themselves in their parents’      . Learning how to      that type of understanding might help you out in the future. “The most successful people can develop a sympathetic feeling for others,” he says.

One way to sell stuff is to make things that people want to buy. Another way is to offer “free trials” and then hit customers with bills. This brings us to PDC Education Ltd, run by Rebecca Jordan and Kirsty Weir of Leeds, whose website teaching-resources-uk.com offers teaching plans for teachers.
Rosemarie Brady, finance manager of Rutlish School in Merton, southwest London, tells us that one teacher called Amanda Seyfried downloaded the “free” resources. “Unfortunately in very small print, they state that unless the free trial is cancelled, then you will be charged,” she says.
A year has gone by and now they’ve been sent a second bill for 500 pounds, just because they forgot to cancel the “free trial”.
Merton Council—and it’s not the only one—has sent a warning to all its schools saying: “ Only in the very (easily missed) small print of the terms and conditions is it explained that, after the 14-day trial, schools will be automatically signed for a two-year contact with the company.”
“This will only be stopped if the teacher who requested the trial writes directly to PDC to cancel before the 14 days have expired(期滿). The fee can be as much as hundreds of pounds, with the threat of debt recovery if they are not paid.”
Among the online complaints is this one from a teacher. “How disappointed I am that they will not even consider seriously re-negotiating the invoice(清單).”
Rebecca Jordan of PDC Education said, “ The whole purpose behind the free trial is that we have confidence in our business. This free trial period gives teachers the chance to see what is on offer without having to commit to a payment.”
Only a “very small number” of teachers have complained when they receive an invoice, she added. “ Their only complaint is that they have not checked what they are signing up to but that is not our fault, the position is totally clear. The prices and the trial terms are clear to see on the online sign up page.”
It’s true the terms and conditions are on their website. But perhaps it’s unhelpful that they run to almost 3000 words.
小題1:We know from the passage that____________.
A．Merton Council suggests that PDC Education Ltd should be closed down
B．the website teaching-resources-uk.com uses tricks to cheat people out of money
C．the users complained that they had not been informed of writing to PDC earlier
D．the education website promises to enlarge their warning print and cut down the term
小題2: Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards PDC?
A．CriticalB．ReservedC．DoubtfulD．Positive
小題3: What might be the best title for the passage?
A．An education websiteB．A lesson in “free” trials

Fans of US television dramas watch their favorite series for different reasons: some want to improve their English skills, others just want to kill time.
Some TV series are more than pure entertainment―they have a certain depth. Mad Men, which returned with a sixth season recently; Monday Mornings, which just finished its first season; and Modern Family, which sweeps the awards every year, are just a few examples.
Why do these shows stand out among so many similar ones? TV critics Raymond Zhou will give you an idea of why some shows are better than others.
Period drama—More than time travel
Period dramas are intended to capture the ambience (氣氛) of a particular era. Directors must therefore attract audiences as much by their recreation of a historical setting as by an interesting storyline.
Mad Men is an excellent example of this balance being struck. Set in New York during the 1960s, it accurately shows US attitudes in the workplace through the alcoholism and chain-smoking common of the time, and places an absorbing plot right in its center.
But rather than merely presenting a past decade, Mad Men’s subtle (微妙的) description of the struggles of white-collar workers at the time, both male and female, makes it stand out.
“The series’ attention to detail is superb,” Raymond Zhou said. “For example, creator Matthew Weiner makes Don Draper―the leading role of the series―drive a Buick instead of a Cadillac, because Weiner thinks the ad man lacks the self-pride to buy a luxury car. It’s this kind of attentiveness that raises the show’s artistic value.”
Critics also recommend
Another period drama that works is Broadwalk Empire, set during the prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Heather Havrilesky at Salon magazine noted how the show “revels in the oddities(怪事) of its time, peeling back the layers of polite society to reveal a shadow world of criminals and politicians working together to keep the liquor flowing.”
Why does it appeal to viewers? Because they know that the “l(fā)iquor” is a metaphor (暗喻) for today’s political scandals (丑聞).
小題1: How many US TV series are mentioned in this passage?
A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
小題2: The following statements are the reasons why many people are attracted by US television dramas EXCEPT that __________.
A．US television dramas merely present a past decade
B．directors recreate a historical setting and adopt interesting storylines
C．the dramas can improve their English skills, and help people kill time
D．some TV series are more than pure entertainment, and they have a certain depth
小題3: According to Raymond Zhou, Don Draper’s driving a Buick instead of a Cadillac shows __________.
A．Mad Men attaches much importance to details
B．Mad Men places an absorbing plot right in its center
C．the director wants to raise the show’s artistic value
D．Mad Men’s description of the struggling white-collar workers makes it stand out
小題4: What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Directors of US dramas.B．US dramas and their storylines.
C．US period dramas to kill time.D．US dramas and their magic touch.

Dae Jon is the city in South Korea, where I was born and grew up. There was a public park there. It was a very popular place, and I have tons of precious (珍貴的) memories from times spent there.
Our teachers often took us to that park for a spring or fall picnic. When I learned martial arts (武術(shù))—Tae Kwon Do, my master usually took us there to train us. There was a hill there which was not high, so I could reach the peak (山頂) within forty minutes even though I was very young. From the peak, I could see a lot of places if it was a sunny day.
There was a huge rock on the top called Eagle Rock because the shape of the rock looked like the head of an eagle. We spent lots of fun days there. We played hide-and-seek within the limited area, and we sometimes caught frogs and fish in the pond. When we felt thirsty, we enjoyed drinking cold spring water.
When I was a ten-year-old boy, I usually went to the park with my father to exercise early in the morning. It was quite dark, so I sometimes felt afraid, but after I got used to going there, I enjoyed breathing the fresh air and hearing the birds sing.
Recently, I went back to the park to remember my good times there. When I arrived at the entrance, I was surprised because it didn’t seem to be the same as I remembered it. Everything has changed in the thirteen years since I last saw it, but the good memories soon came back. I could almost imagine a boy playing there with a slight smile and shaking hands with me.

Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on．Please give me your opinions on this topic．
Rao
12-18-08
So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.
Sai
12-19-08
Man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. If we look at the animal kingdom
We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齒的）
structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）.
The vegetarian foods are easily digestible.
Santos
12-20-08
Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg + meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.
Krishna
01-03-09
When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic（邏輯）is better and suited for hauman beings.
Khan
01-05-09
Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!
小題1:According to Rao, what is the problem with veg food?
A．It damages our immune system.B．It has few nutrients.
C．It contains too much omega 3.D．It is lacking in protein.
小題2:In the opinion of Sai, humans are born vegetarian because humans        .
A．have the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals
B．believe that veg foods are good for their teeth
C．belong to the plant-eating animal family
D．can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals
小題3:What advice is given by Santos?
A．To have a daily veg + meat diet.
B．Not to eat non-veg food every day.
C．To eat digestible food every day.
D．Not to eat food without protein.
