People have problems

People have to remember passwords for everything, from their email to online banking and internet shopping. 1. A leaked Yahoo database showed that the most popular passwords were still “123456” and “password”.2.

These people are trying to make life easy for themselves. 3. Hackers(黑客) have gotten very good at what they do, with more capable tools than ever, and those tools can work so well because we are still really bad at choosing and remembering passwords.

Researchers from the UK’s Lancaster University, as well as the Peking and Fujian Normal universities in China, tested passwords. 4. They guessed passwords for more than 73 percent of ordinary users, accounts. Hackers could even guess a third of the harder passwords in 100 tries, reported the Daily Mail.

According to researchers from Bloomberg Businessweek, using upper and lower cases(大小寫) in your password is a good way to make is safer. Adding numbers and/or symbols to your password can also be of great help. Choose a nine-letter password that includes numbers and/or symbols; this would take a hacker’s computer hundreds of years to break, Also, never use personal information as a password. 5. Experts suggest that a user should change his or her password every 90 days to keep hackers guessing.

A. Passwords were short.

B. Use different passwords for different accounts.

C. A password must be difficult to be guessed by others.

D. Many people used simple combinations of their name, age or birthday.

E. They tried to guess passwords based on people’s personal information.

F. But they are also making it easy for hackers to break into their accounts.

G. So it’s easy to understand why many of us would pick something simple and easy for our passwords.

Jumping off random cliffs(懸崖) into the sea is not clever. However, as a sport, coasteering uses local experts to help groups travel around the coast so they can then jump safely and have a lot of fun in the process. But coasteering is also so much more than cliff jumping.

A usual day’s coasteering will involve swimming, climbing, scrambling(攀巖) and cliff jumping. All trips begin with a safety brief and equipment check. You will be equipped with a helmet, wetsuit and life vest. You will need to wear some old sneakers you don’t mind getting wet.

From here it could be a short swim to the first jump site. Following an instructor, you swim through rock pools, around rough rocks and right up to the next jump spot. A brief climb and you’ll be standing on the edge wondering, “Why the hell did I agree to this?” Then, and to the yell of your friends, you’re leaping in, with a smile that’s guaranteed to last the rest of the day.

Coasteering is certainly more than cliff jumping. If ever a sport could claim to be confidence building, this is it. And it’s also a perfect activity for groups of friends or for adventurous families who want to explore the coast. Many companies offer daily trips, so even if you are on your own or a couple you can join in with a large group. Companies use trained guides with much knowledge of local tides and weather conditions. These people lead the show and are qualified lifesavers as well.

Coasteering is already popular around the UK. At least now you won’t have to ask “What is coasteering?” if someone you know gives it a go.

1.What is coasteering?

A. A daily sightseeing trip.

B. A non-expert guided diving.

C. A cliff and water based sport.

D. A group activity of climbing.

2.What is the benefit of coasteering?

A. Building confidence.

B. Developing independence.

C. Improving guiding skills.

D. Enriching lifesaving experience.

3.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

A. You felt scared and regretful.

B. You became totally tired.

C. You discovered your potential.

D. You gained complete relief.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To introduce coasteering.

B. To organize coasteering.

C. To advertise spots for coasteering.

D. To train coasteering-lovers.

One Canada, Two Languages

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these — Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.

Canada left the British Empire (帝國) in 1867 to become an independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.

Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.

The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland(中心地帶)of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law，have labels(標(biāo)簽)and instructions in both languages.

In Canada’s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.

If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼兒園)or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. However, if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.

1.Which country controlled Canada before its independence?

A. France. B. Britain.

C. America. D. Germany.

2.Where can you watch French television programs?

A. Only in Quebec.

B. In Quebec and a few other places.

C. From the two national television networks.

D. All over Canada.

3.What does the underlined word “bilingualism” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A. 外語教育 B. 母語教育

C. 雙語教育 D. 語言教育

4.What do we know about the education in Canada?

A. In English-speaking provinces only English courses are offered.

B. If you choose a special French language course, most of the subjects will be taught in French.

C. The courses in primary schools are all taught in English.

D. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.

Disposing(處理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.

During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托運(yùn)者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.

Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.

Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅區(qū)的)neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.

Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.

Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste.

1.The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.

A. Waste Disposal Problem B. Waste Pollution Dangers

C. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste D. Places for Disposing Waste

2.During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for ______.

A. burying it B. burning it

C. recycling it D. throwing it into rivers

3.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?

A. Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.

B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.

C. Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.

D. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society.
