Nowadays, many people post their original*pictures on the Internet to share their life but that may tell more than you think.

Pictures often have information left by digital* cameras or smartphones. This kind of information, called Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF), can tell small facts you can’t get from pictures directly*. It tells exactly when and where the picture was taken, what kind of camera or phone and which picture apps you used.

For example, if you take a picture from your window and post it online, it means that you are showing your location* to some people you don’t know. They can successfully deduce where your home is from EXIF. Maybe they will post something strange to your home or even come to your door!

Here is some advice for you to keep personal information safe when sharing pictures. On computers, edit* pictures with Photoshop before sharing them. What’s more, you can send the pictures to a computer first, open the data* documents of pictures,and click on “No EXIF data” While on smartphones, when you have to send pictures on the Internet, do not click “original pictures”. And you can also turn off location services* for the camera before you take pictures. There’s one more thing you can do-take pictures with a traditional camera that can’t connect to the Internet.

Next time you post your pictures, please make 100% sure of your online safety. Just try to follow the ways to keep away from showing your personal information on the Internet.

34.According to the passage, EXIF can tell______.

A. the camera you use      B. the picture you like 

C.the computer you have     D. the document you send 

35. The underlined word “deduce” means_________.

A. guess   B. teach   C. correct   D. send 

36. How can we protect personal information when sharing pictures?

A. Use cameras with Internet connection .

B. Turn on location services on smartphones.

C. Click on “No EXIF data” on smartphones.

D. Edit photos with photo editing apps on computers.

37.The best title for the passage might be_______.

A. The Danger of Smartphones     B.Stop Sharing Pictures 

C. Be Careful with Your Pictures     D. The Information on Smartphones

Every day, someone would knock on our door and ask for food.i didn't want to share my food with them because after these “guests*” finished the meal, only little food would be left. Everyone called them “askers,” but not Grandma. She always told me, “If your dad didn’t get the job in Florida, he could be someone like them.”

Not my dad! He would never be untidy like that.

Ray was the one to knock on our door today. The days were getting harder because we hadn’t got money from Dad for months. But Grandma still offered Ray the best food.

After lunch, Ray made a wooden cat and handed it to me as a gift. He smiled, “You can also

Find a sign* of a cat on your mailbox. It means the family would be pleased to help.

That’s why so many askers knocked on our door! I came up with an idea. What’s the sign that will make people stay away?” I asked.

Ray drew three lines in the air. “It means it’s not a safe place.”

After Ray left, I checked the mailbox.I washed the sign of the cat away and drew the symbol Ray showed me.

That night, Grandma and I ate alone.I had much food,trying not to think about askers going

hungry.

“Chet.”Suddenly, I heard someone’s voice. I looked up and found it was my dad. “Dad! You're back!”I cried.

“Yes. I lost my job in Florida .It was a long and difficult journey for me to get back home.”

Then Dad noticed Ray’s wooden cat. I told him all about the sign of the cat.

Dad nodded, “I kept looking for those signs, too. These signs helped me a lot.”

Looking at him in dirty clothes, I kept thinking about how many doors he had knocked on and what I had done to askers like Ray! I couldn’t say a word.

When the sun came up, I ran out of the door and did what I knew I had to do. Soon the sign of the cat again showed a kind lady’s welcome. And this time, mine, too.

38. How did Chet feel about the guests at first?

A. Unhappy.   B. Afraid.   C. Interested.   D. Confident. 

39.People drew the sign of the cat on mailboxes to_______.

A. ask for food       B. welcome their family 

C. offer others help       D. stop askers from visiting 

40.Chet couldn’t say anything because he_____.

A. hurt the asker Ray badly    B. saw his dad again after a long time

六、书面表达

Dear Mr Smith,

I’m writing to share my idea about the use of the Students Activity Room.I think wed better make it a playroom.

Students may feel sad and helpless when meeting troubles in life. If these problems aren’t solved well, they may bring serious results. So, it is important to for them to have a playroom to have fun.

To make it a better playroom, I have following advice. First, they can play enjoyable games such as playing chess as well as playing card games. Students can release pressure through games so that they can be happier. What’s more, creating a movie corner also helps students relax themselves. They can indulge themselves in movies and chat with friends.

I can’t wait to have a playroom in our school. I believe students are looking forward to it as well!

Yours,

Li Hua
