Television is another important invention.It lets us see as well as hear the actor.Since it was invented，TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere.Many programs are now televised on TV.
Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”，a “star” moving round the earth.It makes it possible for the people all over the world to be closer than ever before.Now on TV a family in Chicago can watch a motor car race in Italy，a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening!

We use passwords(密码)to keep our personal information secret and safe, but some passwords we use may not be as reliable as we think.
Splash Data, a computer security company, recently released a list of the 25 worst passwords of 2011.This list is based on the research of hackers’ files containing stolen passwords. According to the list, “password” is the worst and most common password. Many others on the list are numbers in order either forward (for example,1234) or backward. Letters on the keyboard in order, such as “qwerty” are also common, as well as some first names and animals. “Hackers can easily break into many accounts(账户) just by trying common passwords again and again, ” said Morgan Slain, CEO of Splash Data.
How can you make a strong password? It should be eight characters or more, with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. One way to create a long and easy-to-remember password is to separate short words with spaces or numbers. Having safe passwords is necessary for surfing the Internet safely. But it’s not the only thing you must do to keep safety online. Here are some other web safety tips:
● Never give out information that will allow someone to find you offline. That includes your full name, address and phone number.
● Don’t include your real name as part of your online screen name.
● Never meet people you met on the Internet in person. If you insist on breaking this rule, meet in a very public place and consider taking an adult with you.
Top 10 worst passwords: 1.password 2. 123456 3. 12345678 4. qwerty 5. abc123 6. monkey 7. 1234567 8. letmein 9.trustno1 10. dragon

( )1. What is “Splash Data”?
A. A company. B. A TV station. C. A scientist. D. An American.
( )2. The underlined word hacker means “_______ ” in Chinese.
A. 流浪者 B. 黑客 C. 银行职员 D. 软件设计师
( )3 Which is the worst and most common password?
A. abc123. B. monkey. C. password. D. 123456.
( )4. You can’t put your ______ on the Internet.
A. address B. phone number C. name D. A,B and C
( )5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Animal names can be very safe passwords.

   It’s always a happy moment when you get some pocket money (零花钱). But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely? Here is some advice.
       Make a list.
       When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them? That’s why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.　　
       Help others.
       How about being more selfless (无私的) and using your pocket money to help others? We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful, and feel how you can make a difference.
       Save (储蓄) as much as you can.
       There is an old saying that “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” If you spend all your pocket money right away, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”. A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money. Get a piggy bank (储蓄罐) or ask your parents to start a savings account (账户) for you. Someday when you look back, you’ll get a strong feeling of achievement by saving so much money by yourself!
(  ) 1. Why should we make a list before spending money?
A. To help us buy things that we want most.
B. To make sure we buy everything we need.
C. To know which thing is the most expensive.
D. To know if we have enough money for the things.
(  ) 2. What does the underlined sentence “Money doesn’t grow on trees” mean?
A. Money doesn’t come easily.
B. Money is as important as trees.
C. One can make money by growing trees.
D. We should use our money to protect the environment.
(  ) 3. The best place to save money can be ______ according to the writer.
A. our wallet                      B. our parents’ wallet
C. our piggy bank               D. our parents’ account
(  ) 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Helping others can bring us great happiness.
B. Pocket money can be used to do something useful and helpful.
C. We should tell our parents before we buy something expensive.
D. Saving much money can make us get a strong feeling of achievement.
(  ) 5. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. How to help others with pocket money          
B. How to save pocket money
C. How to get pocket money                     
D. How to spend pocket money
