In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor(辅导员) at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied,“No, I really don’t want to do this.”I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.

At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when 1 saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy’s name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.

In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said:“Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”

At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own“boy under the tree”.

四、任务型阅读。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）

It’s important to teach children to create strong passwords(密码), and to remind them that passwords mustn’t be shared with anyone, not even the best friends.

A strong password is a word that is as difficult as possible to guess because it looks like a set of random characters(随机的字符).

It’s wise to use the whole key board to mix a password with letters, numbers and symbols. A password of 14 characters or more may be much safer.

The following tips will tell you how to create a strong and safe password:

Tip 1: Think of a sentence that is easy to remember, but difficult to guess. For example: “My son Peter is five years old and my daughter Tina is one year old.” The whole sentence is so long that it can’t be a password, so what you can do is to use the first letter of each word to make a new password that seems to be meaningless. That is “mspifyoamdtioyo”.

Tip 2: Make the password more difficult to guess by mixing big and small letters. One way to do this is to use big and small letters one after another. In this way this new password will be “MsPiFyOaMdTiOyO”.

Tip 3: Still using the sentence above, you can also add numbers that are meaningful to you. As a result, the new password will be “MsPi5yOaMdTi1YO”.

Tip 4: Add punctuation (标点) and symbols to make the password much stronger. You may use symbols, numbers and punctuation to replace some letters which look similar. For example : “MsPi5y0@MdTi!y0”. (o=0,a=@, 1=!)

第1题补全句子，第2-4题为回答问题，第5小题为翻译句子。
