The internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Website(非法網(wǎng)站). Websites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought.
The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers(黑客)have broken down security(安全) system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.
Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer(批發(fā)商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay US $ 157,828 to get back the information.
Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web only credit-card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online. However , there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
Ask about your credit-card firm’s online rules: under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $ 78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: send your credit-card information only if the Website offers advanced secure system.
If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start http://--the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.
Keep your password safe: most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.

Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.
　　To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing (舒適的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost(提升) sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.
　　But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts(收入) by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving-unless, of course, the resulting indigestion(消化不良) leads to complaints.
小題1:Background music was first used ________.
A．in the cinemas and theatres in the USA
B．in the offices and hospitals in the USA
C．in the schools and churches in the USA
D．in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA
小題2:An American marketing expert has found background music can __________.
A．increase sales or factory production
B．create a soothing atmosphere
C．make people slow down
D．make people forget their worries
小題3:Slow music is useless in ________ in increasing sales.
A．shops
B．restaurants
C．factories
D．cinemas
小題4:Restaurant owners are advised to play ________ to increase overall sales.
A．lively music
B．loud music
C．slower music
D．faster music

Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless (Wi-Fi) connection? Just recently, a man was arrested for doing just that. At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便攜式電腦) and using an unsecured(無安全保護(hù)措施) wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic? Listen to the following different views on it.
For a start, if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will affect your speed of access or download limit. Also, it’s bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally, just imagine this: what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity? I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.
— by Sandra Wilkins
Basically, if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, what’s the problem? It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book, or watching someone else’s firework display. It’s not stealing.
Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault(過錯(cuò)) if someone else uses it. Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open. By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it. Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器). And finally, haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve? They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues. But this is just ridiculous(荒謬的).
— by James Hoarley
小題1: Why was the man mentioned in the first paragraph arrested?
A．For stealing someone’s laptop.
B．For surfing the Net in the street.
C．For destroying others’ wireless connection.
D．For using an Internet service without permission.
小題2: What does Sandra Wilkins think of people using others’ Internet service?
A．He thinks it is unacceptable.
B．He thinks it is necessary sometimes.
C．He thinks it requires good computer skills.
D．He thinks it is good for Internet service providers.
小題3: In James Hoarley’s opinion, ______.
A．Internet service should be improved.
B．it is hard to secure one’s wireless connection.
C．using others’ Internet service is not stealing at all.
D．people should leave their wireless connection open.
小題4: What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Wireless connectionB．Wireless worries
C．Internet serviceD．Internet users

When you’re an employee of a company, no matter the size, it’s common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department. But there is another way to move around—by creating a new position for yourself. I did this several years ago, though I wasn’t actively looking for a different job.
In 2007, I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company, as a customer service representative in the distributions services department. I processed requests for distributions from our annuity(養(yǎng)老金)policy holders around the country. Someone might have forgotten to sign a form, for example, or might have omitted security information. To solve the problem, I’d mail the person a letter.
The company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. The longer I worked with the letters, the more I saw how they could be improved. Some had overlapping information and could be combined. Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. I also noticed that industry terminology(專業(yè)術(shù)語) wasn’t standard across all the versions.
When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed revamping. She said I should stop what I’d been doing and start the new work. In a relatively short time, I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. It was an informal job change until a managers’ meeting several months later.
At that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division’s entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job—me. The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks, but I was able to show that the work had value, and I was officially promoted and given a raise in November 2009.
小題1:According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true?    
A．The author admired those who got a promotion in his company.
B．It is no surprise to see people around us change their positions.
C．The author tried his best to get a promotion in his company
D．The author was eager to seek another job.
小題2:Which of the following problems with the letters is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Some information was overlooked.
B．Some information needed to be united.
C．Some had grammatical mistakes.
D．Industry terminology didn’t meet the standard.
小題3:The underlined word “revamping” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to        .
A．repeatingB．rebuildingC．improvingD．strengthening
小題4:The author started to review the letters when        .
A．he was hired by the company
B．he was promoted
C．he was recommended at a managers’ meeting
D．his department supervisor agreed his idea
小題5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Where there is will, there is a way.
B．Creating a position, and earning a promotion.
C．Don’t let the chance go, when it comes.
D．Ways to get a promotion.

Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s smartest physicists, once said: “I’m obsessed by time.”Many of us are, and the popularity of time travel TV series has just proved that.
After Palace and Startling by Each Step 《步步驚心》achieved startling ratings last year, Palace 2 aired on January 20, attracting time travel fans back to TV.“It’s fun to watch characters travel back in time and deal with the conflicts between modernity and ancient times,” Xia Xiaoyan, who works for a foreign-owned enterprise in Shanghai, told China Daily. “Time travel series connect both today and the past, thus offering room for imagination,” said Cai Yinong, the producer of Startling by Each Step.
“I’m hooked by the shows because they are characterized by dramatic and poetic love and have eye-pleasing actors,” Xia explained her love for time travel TV series.Her comment echoes a 2011 survey by Great Marketing Research Co Ltd in China. When asked about what’s so appealing about time travel TV series, 21 percent of respondents answered: “Those attractive characters.”
A bigger reason behind the popularity of time travel stories, however, is the relaxation they offer, according to the survey.Cai Yinong agrees. “Many people are facing tremendous pressures in their fast-paced lives, so this genre is more relaxing than other shows as it provides people with a terrific outlet to escape reality,” Cai told China Daily.

For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “ We can do without railways.” People say…as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying .But this is far from the truth: in these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn’t leave you up as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams, and a single train carry goods which a plane or a motorcar could never do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorcars we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason..
小題1:Some people think the railways are unnecessary for many reasons except that       .
A．planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains
B．oil is expensive today

B．The railway station is usually at the center of the city.
C．When you get off the plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D．No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does.
小題3:The writer thinks that the railways, far from being dead, are very much alive because      .
A．we can have a smooth and untroubled journey
B．we’ll not have enough money to fly in planes
C．we can now travel in super-fast train
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above

A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.
There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city that you can walk around and see. Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride.
Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool.
Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.
Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective（低成本的）. You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completely eliminated. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really high, and the farther you go, the higher they are. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. You are also pushing money back into your local economy（經(jīng)濟(jì)）by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home.  Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.
小題1:For what purpose is the text written?
A．To introduce the general information of staycatons.
B．To compare staycatons with other vacations.
C．To persuade more people to have staycations.
D．To provide different ways of staycations.
小題2:What is one of the advantages of a staycation?
A．The economy in other cities is also improved.
B．People spend nothing when staying at home.
C．You can visit local attractions for free.
D．There is no stress from traveling.
小題3:What does the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 5 probably means?
A．includedB．removed
C．coveredD．raised
小題4:What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?
A．When to take a staycation.B．What disadvantages a staycation has.
C．Why people prefer a staycation.D．How to have a staycation safely.

BEIJING - The country's top health officials state that an international charity's decisions not to give millions of dollars to Chinese organizations that fight AIDS and other diseases will not bring about the end of those organizations. 
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced on Monday that it will withhold $95 million from the $270 million in grants(補(bǔ)助金) it had planned to give China. That decision came as the result of months of discussion between the charity and Chinese officials. 
On the mainland, a large number of programs meant to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS have received money from the Global Fund. Many observers now fear that the announced cut will undermine those organizations' work. 
Chen Zhu, the minister of health, said officials have found a way to limit the harm. “In the coming five years, the Chinese government will constantly increase its financial support of social organizations, particularly those that work to control and prevent HIV/AIDS.” Chen said while addressing the 6th Experience Exchange Conference of International Cooperation Program on HIV/AIDS in China on Monday. 
In a recent survey of more than 200 organizations taking part in the fight against HIV/AIDS on the mainland, nearly 80 percent of them said they had received grants from the Global Fund. About 83 percent of them said they will find it difficult to continue operating without financial support from abroad, it said. Official statistics showed the Global Fund has given China $548 million in grants since 2003. 
Xia Jing, leader of a Beijing-based grassroots organization dedicated to controlling AIDS, said: “We were like children fostered by foreign milk. As foreign money began to be withdrawn from China, we were faced with serious financial hardships.” Han Mengjie, executive director of Global Fund China Programs, said the Chinese government has fully recognized the important role social organizations play in controlling diseases. “The work done and efforts made by such organizations must be sustained for a long time to supplement the government's intervention work,”he said, “We have to face the truth that international money for AIDS control will gradually leave China and to prepare ourselves to deal with that.” 
小題1:Which sentence is the closest to the title of the passage?
A．China will have to fight against AIDS alone, though facing financial hardship.
B．Chinese organizations of fighting against AIDS and other diseases won’t receive money from international charity.
C．The fight against AIDS won’t be stopped by the withdraw of money from charity in China.
D．Chinese organizations of fighting against AIDS and other diseases will be reduced to despair.
小題2:According to Han Mengjie, which of the following is the most possible action to be taken?
A．Chinese government is expected to seek help from social organization to control diseases
B．Chinese government shouldn’t rely too much on social organizations
C．Social organizations’ work and efforts won’t make much difference to the fight against AID
D．We Chinese are well prepared for the international money’s withdraw from China
小題3:How much money will China have received from Global Fund by the end of this year ?
A．$818B．$548 C．$ 270D．$723
小題4:What implication can we get from the passage？
A．Many people are not optimistic about the control of AIDS.
B．Chinese government will take an active part in AIDS control.
C．International charity are treating China unfairly.
D．Most organization related with AIDS control had received money from the Global Fund before this announcement on Monday.
