Security—for the information on your smartphone, as well as for the phone itself is a hot topic these days.The truth is that you’re packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone, and you should keep it safe.

When it comes to physical security, iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone, a free app from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your (lost, stolen or misplaced) phone on the map.You can then sound an alarm, send a message that will pop up on its screen, lock the phone or erase all your data.

Android does not have an exact equivalent(等價(jià)物), but there are plenty of alternatives.A free app called Lookout offers the find my phone feature.The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your phone remotely.

Then there is your coffee shop’s WiFi network.Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on(窺視) people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data.Lookout’s apps will caution you when you’ve logged on to an insecure network, but cannot protect you once you’re there.

In order to protect yourself on such networks, you can use a virtual private network, or V.P.N.This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across the Starbucks.It also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you’re traveling, allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries.

If you have an iPhone, the simplest V.P.N.a(chǎn)pp is probably Hotspot Shield, whose distinguishing feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing (瀏覽), as opposed to other V.P.N.a(chǎn)pps that require you to start them up manually(手動(dòng)).This matters, because even if you decide you want a V.P.N.a(chǎn)pp, you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it.For the most part, that was true of Hotspot Shield, though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost connection without warning.I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes, which involved setting my phone constantly.

If even reading about the setting on your phone drives you crazy, then it is probably best to stay away from a V.P.N.a(chǎn)pp.But if you’re the type who can’t resist checking your bank balance from your comer bar, the hassle (麻煩) may be preferable to the risk.

1.Which of the following can warn you against the insecure network?

A.Android

B.V.P.N.

C.Lookout

D.Find My iPhone

2.By using V.P.N., users can ________.

A.find their lost phone on the Internet

B.remove all the data form the phone remotely

C.check the bank balance now and then

D.save their browsing from being tracked

3.The underlined word “that” in Para.6 refers to the fact that _________.

A.a(chǎn) V.P.N.a(chǎn)pp kicks in automatically

B.the users starts V.P.N.a(chǎn)pps manually

C.the app take a while to connect

D.users spend no time thinking about it

A full-time nanny is employed by the parents to provide high quality childcare for their children and to undertake all tasks related to the providing of that care. Nannies provide childcare in the family’s private home.

Full-time nannies with parents meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of the children. They typically do the children’s laundry, keep the children’s areas neat and clean, and prepare meals and snacks for the children. Depending on the age of the child and the family’s needs, the nanny may be responsible for bathing the child, transporting the child to activities and assisting the child with homework.

Since nannies work in the private home and serve as caretakers, and educators, nannies must be trustworthy. Nannies are often hired so that parents can fulfill their personal and professional tasks. For this reason, nannies must be dependable and reliable.

Full-time nannies work on average 40 to 60 hours per week and may live with the family as live-in nannies. For parents who hire a live-in nanny, at minimum they should provide a separate bedroom and bathroom and all meals and snacks. One of the benefits of nanny care is that the parents set the nannies weekly schedule. Nannies are typically required to have some scheduling flexibility.

Nanny employers must pay what is commonly referred to as the nanny tax, which includes social security taxes and medicare taxes, total about 7. 65% of the nanny’s wages. The other federal tax is referred to as FUTA. It is the Federal Unemployment Tax. State unemployment taxes may also apply and vary from state to state.

In addition to nanny employer taxes the nanny is responsible for her share of the FICA taxes. Nannies are responsible for paying their own income tax payments, however many employers agree to manage the payments for them.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來源:2016屆黑龍江大慶鐵人中學(xué)高三第一階段考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside to do some hunting. I sat there waiting for about an hour. Suddenly, a big beautiful deer appeared less than 20 feet away from me. There was no cover near him. Surely I could shoot him.

To my surprise, he came toward me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid. For this was not a youngster, but a fully grown-up one. He must have known about men and their guns. But this deer came closer, and I still waited. His big eyes never moved away from my face. His wonderful head with a set of antlers (鹿角) was clear in sight.

I was getting a bit nervous as he walked closer. A big deer can do a lot of damage. Well, he walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me.

What happened next was hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I held out my hands and scratched his head right between the antlers. And he liked it. The big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head.

I scratched and touched his head and body. His nose touched my shoulder. I fed him with my last sandwich.

Well, he finally went his way, down the hill. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t, either. Not after that. I just watched him go, a strong deer carrying a proud head.

I picked up my gun, and started walking back. Suddenly, I heard two shots, one after another. If you have hunted much, you will know what two shots mean. They mean a kill. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.

You will now understand why I gave up hunting from that day on.

1.How the deer behaved toward the writer shows that______.

A. it pretended to be friendly to the writer

B. it wanted to attack the writer

C. it was too scared to run away

D. it was quite friendly to the writer

2.You can infer from the passage that ______.

A. a grown-up deer usually will not get close to men with guns

B. the writer was a little nervous at first as he had been attacked by a big deer before

C. the writer felt afraid to kill the deer the moment the deer walked up to him

D. the writer had waited for more than an hour before the deer appeared

3.After reading the whole passage, we can know that the passage is written in a(n)______tone.

A. worried B. excited C. sad D. happy
