A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. All computer viruses are manmade. Here are some virus prevention tips.
Do not open any files attached to an e-mail from an unknown, suspicious or untrustworthy source.
Do not open any files attached to an e-mail unless you know what it is, even if it appears to come from a dear friend or someone you know. Some viruses can replicate（復制） themselves and spread through e-mail. Better be safe that sorry and confirm that they really sent it .
Do not open any files attached to an e-mail if the subject line is questionable or unexpected. If the need to do so is there always save the file to your hard drive before doing so.
Delete chain e-mails and junk e-mail. Do not forward（轉(zhuǎn)寄） or reply to any of them. These types of e-mail are considered spam（垃圾郵件）, which contains lots of annoying advertisements and useless information.
Do not download any files from strangers.
Be careful when downloading files from the Internet. Ensure that the source is a legitimate（合法的）and reputable one. Verify（證實）that an anti-virus program checks the files on the download site. If you are uncertain, don’t download the file at all or download the file to a floppy（軟盤）and test it with your own anti-virus software.
Update your anti-virus software regularly. Over 500 viruses are discovered each month, so you’ll want to be protected. These updates should be at least the products virus signature files. You may also need to update the product’s scanning engine as well.
Back up（備份） your files on a regular basis. If a virus destroys your files, at least you can replace them with your backup copy. You should store your backup copy in a separate location from your work files, one that is preferably not on your computer.

Student participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.
A professor’s teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussions while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.
In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are “practical” rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.
小題1:“Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student” in  ____
class.
A．the humanities and social sciencesB．the science and mathematics
C．the theoretical lessonsD．the strictly controlled courses
小題2:From the passage we know that education in the humanities and society __________.
A．has not changed much in the past twenty years
B．pay attention to students’ studying instead of teachers’ teaching
C．is much more important than that of science and mathematics
D．has become more practical than theoretical.
小題3:The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that __________.
A．these professors are often not well prepared before class
B．these professors want to stress “doing”
C．these professors want to test the students abilities
D．these professors are not willing to teach theory
小題4:Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?
A．Student participation is not common in many courses like society and history classes.
B．Some professors want to control the classroom discussion.
C．Some of students are wanted to attend the lecture of science and mathematics.
D．New educational trends have turned up in the teaching of natural sciences such as

The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive(綜合的) exam for students who seek to study in American and other English-speaking countries, Xinhua News Agency reported from New York.
The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang Wei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America’s leading educational organization.
The Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.
However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), the GRE(Graduate Record Examination), or the IELTS(International English Language Testing System).
“I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,” said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.
Most of Xu’s classmates have never heard of the APIEL. “The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.” said Jen.
The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xinhua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission.
Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL measures a student’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy(精確) and resourcefulness, and writing with clarity and fluency(流暢), Jen said.
小題1:The United States will introduce a new exam because _______.
A．more and more students want to get further education in the USA
B．the Chinese people pay special attention to English studies with China’s entry into the WTO
C．the already existing exam systems seem to be far from perfect
D．it will bring the US government quite a lot of money
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the selection？
A．It will take quite a period of time for people to accept the APIEL.
B．The TOEFL is more popular with the Chinese than the IELTS.
C．A student will have to take the APIEL if he or she wants to study in English—speaking countries from 2002.
D．Chinese students will prefer the IELTS rather than the APIEL even in the future.
小題3:The underlined word current in the second paragraph means _______.
A．modern B．present C．standard D．formal
小題4:Please decide which of the following would be the best title for this news report.
A．The Key to English-speaking Countries

A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.
University tuition fees (學費) are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.
In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £ 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £ 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £ 10.000. Average debts for graduates are £ 12，363.
Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said. "The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they arc to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."
Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweathcr. aged 15. from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.

Why did humans evolve to walk upright? Perhaps because it’s just plain easier. Make that “energetically less costly”, scientifically speaking.
Bipedalism—walking on two feet, is one of the defining characteristics of being humans, and scientists have debated for years how it came about. In the latest attempt to find an explanation, researchers trained five chimps(黑猩猩)to walk on a treadmill(跑步機)while wearing masks that allowed measurement of their oxygen consumption. The chimps were measured both while walking upright and while moving on their legs and knuckles(膝關(guān)節(jié)).That measurement of the energy needed to move around was compared with similar tests on humans and the results are published in this week’s online edition of “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”.
It turns out that humans walking on two legs use only one-quarter of the energy that chimps use while knucklewalking on four limbs(肢).And the chimps, on average, use as much energy using two legs as they did when they used all four limbs.
However, there were differences among chimps in how much energy they used, and this difference corresponded to their different manner of walking and anatomy(解剖構(gòu)造).One of the chimps used less energy on two legs, one used about the same and the others used more, said David Raichlen, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona.
“What we were surprised at was the variation(變異) ”, he said in a telephone interview. Interview. “That was pretty exciting, because when you talk about how evolution works, variation is the bottom line, without variation there is no evolution.”
Walking on two legs freed our arms, opening the door to drive the world, said Raichlen. “We think about the evolution of bipedalism as one of first events that led hominids(原始人)down the path to being humans.”
The research was supported by the National Science Foundation and the L.S.B.Leakey Foundation.
小題1: The underlined word “Bipedalism” in Paragraph 2 probably means____.
A．moving sidewaysB．walking upright
C．walking on four legsD．running fast
小題2:We can infer from the passage that____.
A．scientists have no idea on how humans’ walking on two legs came about
B．scientists have had different views on why chimps walk on four legs
C．scientists have had different views on how humans’ walking on two legs vame about
D．scientists have had similar views on how humans’ walking on two legs came about
小題3:What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．How chimps saved energy.
B．Why chimps didn't walk on two legs.
C．David Raichlen studied chimps.
D．Different chimps consumed different energy.
小題4: According to the passage, humans walk upright in order to____.
A．conserve energyB．differ from other animals

The Best of Friends
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.” They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商議) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall.” I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.”Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework ,I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers’ rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
小題1:What is the popular images of teenagers today?
A．They worry about schoolB．They dislike living with their parents
C．They have to be locked in to avoid troublesD．They quarrel a lot with other family members
小題2:  The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___
A．share family responsibilityB．cause trouble in their families
C．go boating with their familyD．make family decisions
小題3: Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents___.
A．go to clubs more often with their childrenB．a(chǎn)re much stricter with their children
C．care less about their children’s lifeD．give their children more freedom
小題4: According to the author, teenage rebellion____.
A．may be a false beliefB．is common nowadays
C．existed only in the 1960sD．resulted from changes in families
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．Negotiation in familyB．Education in family

When your pet meets your infant(嬰兒)，it might not be love at first sniff. When Jennifer brought her baby home from the hospital, her cherished dogs had very different reactions. Her Boxer, Sonya, was immediately gentle and protective. But Tiger, the Pomeranian, was less welcoming. “If any diapers(尿布)or toys were on the floor, he peed on them,” says the Greenbrier, mom. In the eyes of a pet, there’s a new star in home who’s stealing his spotlight. Even the gentlest animal will probably act up if he doesn’t get his usual attention. These simple steps will help your pet adjust and keep your baby safe.
Introduce Them with Care
Your newborn and per’s first encounter can set the tone for their relationship. To make it as smooth as possible, try this trick from Caryn Ruiz：“Before we left the hospital, my husband took blankets home to our dog, Daisy, so she’d know our newborn Devon’s smell.” When you get home, have your husband carry the baby so you can greet your pet without worrying about her jumping on you. A cat will likely walk away at first, while a dog probably wants to investigate right away.
To introduce your baby, get down on your pet’s level and let her have a hello sniff. Don’t panic and pull your baby away unless your pet is barking or hissing, because it’ll send the message that the baby is a threat.
Learn the Safety Basics
No matter how smoothly the introduction goes, there are certain safety rules you should follow. Never leave your baby alone with the pet. Even the gentlest animal can react unpredictably. Your baby’s crying could frighten your cat, or your dog could suddenly become territorial. Consider setting up baby gates to limit your pet’s access. To keep your cat from jumping into the bassinet(有篷蓋的搖籃), try putting mosquito netting over the top. Cats hate sticky paws, so keep the crib(有欄桿的嬰兒床)and changing table off-limits by lining the edges with sticky strips made for furniture. You can also train your dog to sleep in a crate(大木箱).
小題1:At the beginning of the passage, the author uses the stories to_____.
A．illustrate possible reactions when pets meet a newborn baby
B．show that pets don’t like a newborn baby
C．prove how friendly a pet is when it meets a newborn baby
D．introduce how terrible the pets are when a mother gets a baby home
小題2:Who is Sonya mentioned in the 1 st paragraph?
A．Jennifer’s dog.B．Jennifer’s baby.
C．Jennifer’s husband.D．A pet expert.
小題3:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Cats are more welcoming than dogs when they meet a newborn baby.
B．You must show your baby to your pet dog when it is barking.
C．You should never keep a baby together with your pet.
D．The first introduction of your newborn baby to your pet is important.
小題4: According to the passage, to keep your baby safe, you should do the following things EXCEPT_____.
A．introducing your baby to your pet with care
B．leaving your baby alone with your pet at the first day when they meet
C．setting up baby gates to limit your baby
D．keeping your pet away from your baby

Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(凝結(jié)). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapour. The vapour rises onto the air. Water vapour is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄霧) above the water. Water vapour also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapour from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapour. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapour in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮濕) in the tropics(熱帶) than in the cold polar regions.
小題1: What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Water cycle.B．Water vapour.
C．How rain forms. D．Water, vapour, rain.
小題2:How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?
A．Two. B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
小題3:Whether water vapour can be seen or not depends on _______.
A．how much water is evaporatedB．how good your eyes are
C．in which way water is evaporatedD．climate or weather
小題4: From the passage we get to know _______.
A．there is more water vapour in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions
B．there is more water vapour in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C．it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapour
D．the amount of water vapour in the air depends on how often it rains
