When people talk of a virus these days, chances are that they are talking about computer virus that have the power wipe out all the valuable work people may have stored in their computers. Imagine, the virus has the power to make military systems, giant banks, airports, hospitals and traffic system come to stop! What does a computer virus do? It targets electronic objects that are programmed. The virus spreads through connections between these electronic objects. For virus spreading experts, e-mail is a favorite method of sending their destructive (破坏性的) weapon. But scientists warn that this is not the worst that can happen. There is more. People are also connected through phones. The next virus may actually target mobile phones, especially those that are programmed to do many tasks apart from just communicating. It would then be easy for a virus to infect those programs and create major disorder. For example, these virus may have the power to record your phone conversations and make others hear them. They create problems with your electronic money accounts, or they could create a mountain of telephone bills for calls you never made. And that would be a disaster. A report on this was published in the New Scientist recently. One way out would be to have simpler phones with not so many different functions. This would mean there would mean there would be fewer programs for the virus to attack. But mobile phone producers are in a fix. People on longer want an electronic item to perform just one task. They want more and more functions added. That would mean more software programs to make the mobile phone perform all those functions. And that means the possibility of more viruses. 1.It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A．computer viruses are not so as destructive as mobile phone viruses B．people should be careful when receiving e-mails C．people find it difficult to use electronic equipment correctly D．having electronic money accounts brings people a lot of convenience 2.Which of the following shows that your mobile phone is infected with a virus? A．You can’t hear the person who answers the phone clearly B．You can’t send e-mails with your mobile phone C．your phone bill increases for unknown reasons D．You can hear other people’s phone conversations 3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A．Mobile phone producers have made no progress. B．Mobile phone producers are proud of their products. C．Mobile phone producers are faced with a difficult situation. D．Mobile phone producers refused to fight against virus. 4.For whom is the passage written? A．Government officials B．Virus spreading experts C．Electronic scientists D．Mobile phone users

When I worked as a waitress in Chicago, US, my coworkers and I would sigh whenever we heard someone with a foreign accent coming into our restaurant. We knew what it meant to serve a non-American: no tip. We would work just as hard as we always did, but we might not get paid. Americans have an unspoken rule about tipping: they give tips to almost everyone who offers them a service of some kind. Americans tip their waiters, barbers and taxi drivers. An appropriate tip is between 15 and 20 percent of the amount charged for the service (But the charge for the tip doesn’t appear on the bill. The customer is expected to add it himself/herself.) Tipping less than this sends a message to your waiters that you think they’ve done a bad job serving you. And to leave no tip at all is simply unacceptable. It’s not that American waiters are greedy. In many countries, waiters are paid a salary for their work. They’ll earn money even if no one comes into the restaurant. This system offers much more safety for waiters than the American version. In the US, waiters know that a night without customers means a night without pay. Some countries include a tip for waiters – a “service charge” – on the bill itself. Since the tip is included with the other charges, waiters don’t need to worry about people forgetting to tip. But in the US, waiters do not receive a salary, and service charges only appear on bills when there are six or more customers at the table. Since almost all American customers are familiar with the system, they know to add a tip without being told. But visitors to the US may expect waiters to be paid a salary, or think that the tip is included on the bill. So much as we waiters loved hearing stories about other places from our foreign customers, we were always nervous when they got ready to leave the restaurant. We were never sure what to expect. 1.If you order $200 worth of food, which of the following is a proper total payment? A．$200 B．$215 C．$220 D．$230 2.Why don’t some foreigners tip a waiter according to the writer?. A．because they are unfamiliar with the American tip system . B．because they are too mean to give tips to any waiter. C．because they have difficulty communicating with waiters. D．because they are not really easy to become satisfied. 3.What can we learn from the passage? A. The service charge never appear on the bill in the USA. B. Customers are usually expected to tip waiters in the USA. C. Dining out in other countries is much more expensive than in the USA. D. Waiters in other countries earn much more money than those in the USA. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To complain about the difficult life of American waiters. B．To warn other waiters not to serve any foreign customer. C．To call on foreign customers to leave tips for American waiters. D．To tell us something about American waiters’ salary system.

My father went to his office downtown, mother to her helping the poor, the little girls to school, and I, Lousia, was left to keep house, feeling like an aged sea-gull as I washed dishes and cooked in the basement kitchen where the only thing I could hope for was someone talking with me. Good drill, but very hard, and my only comfort was the evening reunion where all met with such various reports of the day’s adventures, we could not fail to find both amusement and instruction. Father brought interesting and attractive news from the upper world; mother, usually in low spirits because she would give away her clothes with sad tales of suffering from the darker side of life; gentle Anna gave a modest account of her success as a teacher, for even at seventeen her sweet nature won all who knew her, and her patience gained her the support of the most naughty pupil. My reports were usually a mixture of sadness and happiness, and the children poured their small joys and troubles into the family where comfort and mercy were always to be found. 1.We know from this passage that the Alcott family was __________.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Possessing a car gives one a greater degree of freedom. With the building of good fast motorways, long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly. 1 You will no longer be forced to rely on public transport and work locally. You can choose from a greater variety of jobs and probably changes your work more frequently as you are not limited to a small area. Although you can afford to buy it now, you have to consider the future. 2 However large the first sum you have to pay, you have to spend more in running the machine—the various taxes, the fuel, and of course the repairs. The last is especially endless. Any single repair may cost you thousands. 3 As more and more cars are produced and used, an even larger amount of poisonous gas is being sent out. Some of the contents of this gas, such as lead, can cause actual harm to the health of people. Many of the minor illness of modern industrial society, headaches, tiredness, and stomachaches may just arise from the gas. 4 It has been said that when a man is sitting behind the wheel, his car becomes the display of his personality. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind the wheel. They are ill-mannered and aggressive and selfish. All their hidden character seems to be brought to the surface by act of driving. Traveling by car actually brings more inconvenience. Driving a car may be more comfortable than taking a crowded bus. But any advantage of driving a car is often gone in traffic jams, endless queues of cars through all the main streets. 5 A．Driving a car often brings out a man’s worst qualities. B．Driving a car may cause many traffic accidents. C．If you have a car, you can move around freely. D． Considering this, I don’t support the use of more cars. E. A car may bring you heavy financial burden. F. More cars can produce serious air pollution. G. Knowing you are able to drive makes you more confident.

Truly, who can love you more than your dear mother does in world? But in modern society, especial among one-child families, mothers usually give too much love to her only daughter or son. They try to help or even protecting their children in every way, which left their sons or daughters too comfortable to deal with challenges themselves. What we all know, we have entered into the 21st century, and the young generation will face more challenges in the future. There is nothing wrong for mothers to love their children, and they should also leave rooms for their children to develop themselves and become independent.
