When asked what his father did fr a living, my sn explained t his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it’s O.K. because he gets paid t d it.”
He wasn’t wrng.
I’m a hacker, and I run a team f hackers. We spend ur days discvering ways t break int anything that can cnnect t the Internet, t access infrmatin never meant t be seen. If we get t it befre a criminal des, then we’ve dne ur jb.
I’m prud f what I d fr a living, just like dctrs r lawyers are prud f the wrk they d. In Hllywd, hackers are ften described as hded(戴着兜帽的)figures in dark rms invlved in illegal activity while tapping keybards. Actually, hackers are expert at prgramming and prblem-slving with cmputers. Cmpanies hire hackers t find their breaking pint befre criminals d.
Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity frm a crime is permissin. Drivers are free t drive, but they d nt have permissin t drive 150 miles per hur—that’s illegal. Bankers can transfer their clients’ mney, but if they d s withut permissin, that’s illegal.
Hacking is’t an inherently( 本 质 上 )criminal activity. Smene wh invlves in the illegal use f hacking shuld nt be called a “bad hacker” but a “threat actr”. Hackers are peple like me and my team at IBM—security prfessinals.
Hackers play a critical rle in keeping cmpanies and peple safe. At IBM, ne thing my team des is hack autnmus vehicles, planes and trains t make sure that every pssible security weakness is fund and crrected befre each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things culd happen withut us.
Why did the authr mentin his sn’s wrds in paragraph 1?
A. T shw ff his sn’s intelligence.B. T describe the daily life in kindergarten.
C. T raise readers’ interest in his jb.D. T raise a prblem f parent-child relatin.
What is the cmmn misunderstanding f hackers?
Hackers can bth be males and females.
Hackers can ensure a cmpany’s security.
Hackers are usually cnsidered as criminals.
Hackers are extremely prud f what they d.
What d we knw abut hacking?
Hacking is an inherently criminal activity.
Permissin plays an imprtant rle in hacking.
Prfessinal skills are nt necessary fr hacking.
Hacking invlves breaking int shps and huses.
What’s the purpse f the passage?
A. T intrduce the jb f hackers.B. T attract mre hackers t IBM.
C. T stress the imprtance f hackers.D. T cmpare hacking with ther jbs.

T understand the effect f ice melting arund the wrld we first have t understand what an ice sheet actually is. Cvering 5.4 millin square miles in Antarctica(南极洲) and 656,000 square miles in Greenland, an ice sheet is actually a huge land f ice frm the Ice Age. These sheets frm in areas where snw that falls in winter des nt melt entirely ver the summer. This ice, hme t different species f animals, is nw melting at a rate that cannt supprt the life it currently hlds.
Many f these creatures rely n ice sheets as land fr resting, hunting and prtectin, yet as the size decreases, they are frced ut f their hmeland in search f ther land n which t live. Often this means jurneys t search fr fd and an imbalanced ecsystem happens when different species are frced tgether nt the cast.
Since the 1990s, the deer ppulatin has drpped by 56 per cent—climate change has caused warmer temperatures ver winter setting ff rainfall instead f snw, which freezes mre quickly underft and makes it harder t walk and search fr fd. In the summer, frzen layers f land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death t animals. A similar situatin has fallen n the plar bears wh suffered a 40 per cent ppulatin lss between 2001 and 2010.
Quite apart frm these prblems, the threat f sea levels rising if the ice caps were t disappear is appraching. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level wuld rise arund six meters, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels wuld rise by arund 20 feet. As a matter f fact, sea levels have risen abut eight inches since 1880, three f which we’ve gained ver the last 25 years. This seemingly small amunt has already caused dangerus flding, lss f farmland and mre deadly strms.
While we’re still a lng way frm lsing the ice sheets all tgether, we’ve already lst t much and if we dn’t take climate change seriusly nw, we will certainly hit the pint f n return.
What is an ice sheet accrding t the passage?
A. It is an ice wrld fr animals t live n.B. It is a land f ice that cvers all Greenland.
C. It is an area where ice never melts in summer. D. It is a large area f ice that exists fr centuries.
The melting f ice sheets brings abut the fllwing effects EXCEPT .
a lnger distance t search fr fd
a decrease in animal ppulatin
a larger amunt f snwfall
the release f mre diseases
What can we infer frm Paragraph 4?
Sea levels are rising faster in recent years.
The ice cap will first disappear in Greenland.
All natural disasters happen due t sea level rise.
The Greenland Ice sheet will be the first t disappear.
What culd be the best title fr this passage?
A. Changes f Sea Levels.B. Ice, Sea and Animals.
C. Greenland and Antarctica.D. Effect f Melting Ice Sheets.
D
Plenty f scientific wrk prves that children, and even adults, wh learn sign language, gain the benefits nt nly in the ability t cmmunicate with ther sign language users, but als in the wider academic wrld.
Deaf children wh learn sign language at an early age tend t perfrm better academically. This is partly due t their increased ability t cmmunicate with thse arund them. Hwever, it is als because sign language is nt, as many peple mistakenly think, a system f gestures representing wrds, but a cmplete and cmplex language system. Thus, children wh learn sign language have already learnt abut the way language wrks, which will help in future studies.
Again, fr nn-deaf children and adults wh learn sign language, the academic advantages spill ver int scial and cultural nes. Firstly, learning sign language allws the speaker t cmmunicate with a whle new cmmunity f peple and gain an understanding f hw they cmmunicate within their cmmunity. Secndly, learning a language gives rise t greater cnfidence fr that persn, as he is able t cmmunicate with smene wh may struggle t d s. And the skills f language learning can easily be applied t learning ther languages but als t ther academic pursuits.
There can be n dubt that learning sign language is a useful e ndeavur fr anyne — whether they are deaf themselves and live in a huse with ther deaf peple r whether they are nn-deaf and d nt knw anyne wh is. The scial, cultural and academic advantages f learning this cmplex language are diverse and shuld nt be taken lightly. And, especially with children, learning a language which helps peple with a disadvantage may encurage them in the future t d mre — vlunteering and ther such wrk. This means that the nn-deaf child can be given a sense f scial respnsibility at an early age and taught t embrace (接受) all peple — nt in spite f their differences but because f them.
What is sign language accrding t the authr?
A. It is a creative way f expressing ideas.B. It is a cmplete cmplex language system.
C. It is a primary language f disabled peple. D. It is a system f gestures representing wrds.
What des the underlined wrd “endeavur” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Attempt.B. Experiment.C. Incident.D. Feedback.
What quality can a nn-deaf child wh learns sign language acquire?
A. Being cmpetitive.B. Being curageus.
C. Being respnsible.D. Being psitive.
What cnclusin can we draw frm the text?
Learning sign language brings peple an advantage f finding a future jb.
The numerus advantages f learning sign language shuld be taken seriusly.
Nn-deaf children shuld learn sign language due t the differences f the deaf peple .
It’s unnecessary fr nn-deaf persn wh desn’t knw any deaf peple t learn sign language.

Seeing this, my mm held my hands tightly in hers. She even breathed n them as if she wanted t warm them up. Then she whispered in my ear, “Sweetie, take it easy. Just listen and enjy the music.”
I lked up and turned my attentin t the cmpetitr in the center f the stage fr the first time. A thin and tall by was sitting at the beautiful red pian. He lked calm and cnfident. His fingertips danced n the keybard. The sft and gentle sund f the pian flew in the air. Fr a mment, I ttally frgt my nervusness. 注意:
