Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took out full﹣page ads in British and American newspapers on 21 March 2018 to apologize for a "breach of trust" in the Cambridge Analytical scandal， admitting the quiz app built by a university researcher that leaked Facebook data of millions of people in 2014 was a "breach of trust"．
Since the scandal of Big Data broke， the public has become more aware and concerned about that their online behavior may be used for purposes to which they have not agreed． It contributes to the urgent need for better protection of personal information．
In China， apps enabling users to steal private information from Wi﹣Fi providers are generating serious privacy concerns．
An app can break home Wi﹣Fi， cryptographic Wi﹣Fi at commercial locations and even the Wi﹣Fi being used in China's foreign ministry building， according to a CCTV report． With the help of the app， the CCTV reporter entered the ministry's network．
Almost 100，000 Chinese users ranked Wi﹣Fi Master Key app 4.5 out of 5 at the Apple store for convenience． But the app secretly stores Wi﹣Fi information and serves like a mobile spy between users， a show reported． It lets users access everything that links with the Wi﹣Fi such as a provider，s Wechat contact information and phone numbers．
At the China Development Forum， Li Yanhong， CEO of domestic Internet services giant Baidu Inc．，said that many Chinese users are willing to trade privacy for convenience． Li′s remarks aroused heated debates on social networks， as there is too much convenience and too little privacy．
It's an age of Big Data． It′s an age when privacy is under threat． The users are in an inferior position compared with the companies， but the law should not allow an unlimited trade of privacy for convenience． A simple click on "I agree，' should not be considered an excuse for the service providers to collect， use， and store users' data， which must be better protected by the law．

We humans are a curious species． As NASA says on its website，"Humans are driven to explore the unknown， discover new worlds， push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits，and then push further． "
And space exploration is where we\e been "pushing" our furthest curiosity．
The year 2019 began with two pieces of exciting space exploration news． On Jan． 3， China landed a spacecraft，Chang′e 4，on the moon's far side﹣the side we can′t see from Earth﹣for the first time in human history． And according to a report published on Jan． 9 in Nature， scientists from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment （CHIME） detected repeated radio signals from a galaxy 1.5 billion light years away， possibly sent by intelligent aliens．
However， what，s even more exciting than the news is the fact that whenever speaking of space exploration， we forget our political and cultural differences﹣the things that so obsess us．
"When you go into space， you become part of this overall collective （集体）called ‘humanity， Ken Liu， Chinese﹣American sci﹣fi writer and translator，told Quartz website． "You′re no longer Chinese， American， Russian …Your culture is left behind． You're now just ‘humanity' with a capital ‘H'． "
This magic has worked all the way along our journey into space． When US astronaut Neil Armstrong （1930﹣2012）became the first human to set foot on the moon in 1969， for example，he told the world： "That's one small step for man， one giant leap for mankind， "Now， with Chang'e 4 touching down on new moon territory， China′s aim is to help scientists from around the world find out more about Earth's only satellite． And with the discovery of the CHIME astronomers， we ' re one step closer to answering a common question in science： "Are humans alone in the universe？"
It's true that we are a curious species． But instead of being curious about the "unknown"， perhaps we're really more eager to "push further" our own human "boundaries" and "limits"．

B. Add some background information．
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs．
D. Introduce a new topic for discussion．
4.What's the main idea of the text？
A. China takes the lead in space exploration．
B. Humans are not alone in the universe．
C. Space exploration is a common cause of mankind，
D. Humans desire to push the boundaries of scientific limits．
A tsunami （海啸）was coming when we landed in Tokyo． Not a natural tsunami， but a family one． My husband， my two stepkids and I arrived tired by our lack of sleep on the flight， and my stepdaughter and I were still not speaking after an argument from the day before． To add to our troubles， a public holiday meant there was nowhere open for breakfast． There we were， together 24/7 for the next two weeks．
My stepson， 11 years old and always attached to his iPhone is shy． Meanwhile， my 14﹣year﹣old stepdaughter never says thank you．
Yet， over the course of the holiday， the kids found their rhythm．
On our last night in Tokyo， we found our way to a local restaurant． Sitting at a small corner table， surrounded by locals after a hard day？s work》 we enjoyed some beautiful Japanese food． Finally， after 10 long days of trying to find a rhythm that suited us all， we talked．
For once， bonding replaced eye﹣rolling and， instead of the usual one﹣word reports after a day at school， our conversation was filled with warmth and love as we shared our favorite vacation experiences．
There was the moment when my stepson joined locals as they washed their hands and faces at a well，to cleanse themselves before burning incense （焚香）at a temple．Or the time when my stepdaughter chased deer in a park so she could feed them． And the time when we walked through a maze of market stalls and laneways to find what we thought was a simple noodle restaurant， only to be greeted by a charming garden filled with locals sharing a meal．
As we walked away from our dinner， darkness fell． The stone lanterns gradually came to life，and I whispered，for the first time in a long time，"Thank you， "

I am Li Hua, the Senior 1 student. Recently, I’ve been busy prepared for the coming exam. Unluckily, I find quite hard to devote myself on study. I meet some problems what trouble me a lot. So I’m writing to ask you for help.
I have to spend so very much time on my homework that I hardly have time to take part in sports. Beside, the high expectation from the teachers and my parents made me extremely stressful (有压力的) because I don’t want to let them down. What troubles them most is that it’s difficult for me to fall asleep every night. Could you please offer me some advices on how to solve these problems?
