12.We live in central Phoenix,near the canal.Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his dirty little dog hanging out down there.
I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog.It wouldn't have been a problem; we have our own"mini farm"of animals!He would say"OK!"but then blow the idea off because of our business.
Being in Phoenix,Arizona,you can just imagine how hot it gets here,but his winter was really chilly!I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner.As I was turning by the canal,the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up(穿暖).Even the dog had a coat on!Not even thinking about it,I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little dog.I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog.He said,"Thank you,sweetie.You are an angel."And there were tears filling his eyes!I told him he was so welcome,and then went home.
When my husband dug into the KFC gag he asked,"Were you hungry,or what?"I told him what I did and he said,"Only you!"Then he told me I had done a good thing.
A few weeks later,we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me,with his little dog.He asked whether I would mind adopting (收養(yǎng)) the dog.With tears in eyes,he said it had got too hard for him to care for the dog.He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn't have been up to it,so he hoped to give it to me."Only you!In this city,you are the only person I can believe in!"
Now,every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace,I will recall the old man's words and wish him good luck.

3.Loren Gladstone of Toronto is 58,but thinking over how to bequeath (遺贈) his digital property(財產(chǎn)).Doing the paperwork after his parents'death was a challenge."When my time comes,I wonder if my children will even know what paper is,"he says.As a software developer,his virtual property is both valuable and vital to his business.That reflects a problem.Online lives have increasing economic and emotional value.But testamentary (遺囑) laws offer confusing and incomplete ways of bequeathing and inheriting (繼承) them.
Digital property may include software,websites,downloaded content,online gaming identities,social-media accounts and even e-mails.In Britain alone holdings of digital music may be worth over£9billion (14billion).AfifthofrespondentstoaChineselocal-newspapersurveysaidtheyhadover5,000yuan(790)of digital property.And value does not lie only in money."Anyone with kids under 14years old probably has two prints of them and the rest are in online galleries,"says Nathan Lustig of Entrustet,a company that helps people manage digital property.
Service providers have different rules-and few state them clearly in their terms and conditions.Many give users a personal right to use an account,but nobody else,even after death.Facebook allows relatives to close an account or turn it into a memorial page.Gmail (run by Google) will provide copies of e-mails to an executor (遺囑執(zhí)行人).Music downloaded via iTunes is held under a license which can be abolished on death.Apple declined to comment on the record on this or other policies.All e-mail and data on its iCloud service are deleted on the death of the owner.
This has led to cases to court in America.In 2004the family of Justin Ellsworth,an army man killed in Iraq,took Yahoo!to court in Michigan to get copies of his e-mails.This year,a court in Oregon ruled that another American mother whose son had died could use her dead son's password to enter his Facebook account for a short period.Now five American states have made laws giving executors control over the social-networking accounts of dead users.
But this raises the subject of privacy.Passing music on is one thing; not everyone may want their relatives to read their e-mails.Colin Pearson,a London-based lawyer,says access should come only with a clear provision in a will.
But laws,wills and password safes may be contrary to the providers'terms of service,especially when the executor is in one country and the data in another.Headaches for the living and lots of lovely work for lawyers.

40.Why does Loren begin to think over how to bequeath his digital property at the age of 58?B
A.Because he is afraid his children don't know what paper is.
B.Because there's no complete law dealing with digital property.
C.Because his digital property is of great value and importance.
D.Because he is worried his children will be taken to court.
41.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Digital property is assessed in terms of nothing except money.
B.No laws in America have been made to deal with digital property.
C.The relatives may read the e-mail of the dead without permission.
D.Lawyers can make money through cases about digital property.
42.Facebook,Google and Apple have a similar rule thatA.
A.users are offered accounts used by nobody else except users themselves
B.relatives of the dead may close an account or use it at their own will
C.the executor may enter the e-mail and read it by themselves at any time
D.the data downloaded by the dead will be copied and then deleted from net
43.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?C
A.Digital Information      B.Testamentary Laws
C.Deathless Data           D.Vital Property.
