means anyone can be cheated unless they know what to look for.None of us likes to be cheated,and David Modic has done some researches on it.Its the personal passion that has convinced Modic to study the psychology of cheating.He s not alone:the field is thriving,and the information that researchers are uncovering is valuable to us all-from those single in search of love to the technology wizards（人才） in charge of the worlds online security.Modic is particularly interested in what makes people easy to fraud.Its common to imagine that only the foolish or poorly educated might fall victim-but even hard evidence suggests this is not the ease.Take Paul Frampton,an Oxbridge educated academic professor of physics for example.In 2012 Frampton was given almost 5 years in prison for drug smuggling in Argentina,after falling victim to an online dating frauds.And then theres John Worley.As a psychotherapist,Worley knows more than most of us about controlling lifes right ways.But in 2005 he was put on trial for bank fraud after becoming a victim of a fraud.This fraud sees people contacted by someone claiming to be a Nigerian government official appealing for help moving large sums of money out of the country who just requires a little money upfront （预付的）to release the fortune.Worley was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison.Intelligent and experience offer no protection against cheaters,says Modic.“If it did,then better educated people and older people would be less likely to fall for scams.And that is not supported by my research.”To look for answers to that question,Modic and Frank Stajano have quizzed thousands of people,asking them first whether they think various frauds are reasonableand whether they have fallen victim to them before asking them to perform a personality test.The research has identified a number of characteristics that people who are victims of frauds seem to in common.Some of these traitslike a lack of self-control we would probably recognize as dangerous.But othersa trust in authority,a desire to act in the same way as our friends,or a tendency to act in a consistent waywe might think of as good characteristics.58.According to the passage,the frauds may _.A.threaten the worlds online security B.play their tricks in a consistent wayC.receive much education of psychology D.have high intelligence to help cheating59.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that _.A.who and what makes people easy to fraudB.all walks of life would be likely to fall for scamsC.the poorly educated may be easier to be cheatedD.government officials should be responsible for frauds60.Modic and Frank Stajanos researches find out that the victims _.A.often follow friends actionsB.also share good characteristicsC.are considered to be dangerousD.shouldnt have a trust in authorityCElectronic sensors built into paper could be used in a range of ways from information storage to touch screens and more.Electronic sensors built into cartons（纸盒）may make it easier to tell when its time to throw out rotten milk or orange juice.And thats just the start.At least thats the goal for researchers working on putting electronics into paper.Theyre trying to figure out how to combine the flexibility,low-cost and recyclability of paper with the information-carrying ability of electronics.Daniel Torbjork,a physics graduate student in Finland,has been working on the problem.Hes published a review of the field in the the journal Advanced Materials.Much research has been focused in this area.While most electronic applications require patterned conducting（传导的） structures,conductive paper could be used in applications such as energy storage devices.sensors,electric heaters and others,according to Torbjork.“You could even have some interactive functions in magazines,” Torbjork said,“You could put a simple game in a package.If you want a touch screen,press a button and then something happen.Sensors in paper could tell us when something has gone bad.”Additional applications,such as information storage and security paper,have been suggested for magnetic papers containing magnetite.In Massachusetts,researchers have figured out how to post a video of such a device put into a paper airplane.German researchers have also put electronic chips in paper bank notes to defend counter-feiters（造伪币者）.Paper is a good material but printing electronics also requires low-cost manufacturing.As many US and European paper makers lose market share to cheaper paper from China,these big paper companies are looking for added value products.Thats where electronic paper devices could make a difference.“The major obstacles are papers large surface roughness and chemical impurities.”Torbjork says.But others in the field think that electronic sensors in paper are still far from the consumer marketplace.“I don t think it s going to happen.” said Roy Horgan.“You need a conductive surface.It could be 10 years out.What we are looking for are solutions that you can commercialize today.”Solar Print is partnering with Italian automaker Fiat to develop a unique auto-glass with tiny photostatic cells（光电）that can capture electricity from the sun.In the meantime,using paper to conduct electricity is still a “blue-sky” project.“I would love to See someone prove me wrong,because that means that its actually happening.” Horgan said.“If someone comes up with conductive paper,then thats a very interesting technology.”61.Putting electronics into paper will _.A.cut the cost and impurity of paperB.depend on flexible conductive structureC.help consume rotten milk or orange juiceD.combine the advantages of paper and electronics62.Paragraphs 4 to 7 mainly talk about the _ of the conductive paper.A.practical useB.theoriesC.structuresD.design process63.Some paper makers welcome the new technology probably because it will _.A.put an end to fake moneyB.make the paper smootherC.add more value to paperD.improve the printing technology64.From the passage,we know that Roy Horgan _.A.has a burning desire to make a great profitB.showed much interest in Solar Print industryC.is not confident about the conductive paperD.started a “blue-sky” project to study paperDLita CabEllut is one of Spains most successful artists,but the woman whose paintings now sell for six figure sums spent her early years living on the street.“My childhood was like that of thousands of street kids around the world.” says Lita.She used to wander the streets and slept in the open air.Lita was born in a village in Aragon,north-east Spain,in 1961.While she was a baby,Lita was left with her grandmotherbut in reality she spent most of her time out on the streets.“I ran after the walkers.They gave me money to buy packs of cigarettes or sandwiches,and I kept the change.” Looking back,she says.“Art,of course,was there because art is always around us.” But she was occupied with survival then.According to the 2014-2015 annual report,now her vivid portraits can sell for $100,000 or moreactors Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry,as well as chef,Gordon Ramsay,are each reported to own one,such as The Coco numero 4,Alam and Eddy Wenting and about 200 painting,drawings and more.Among the works and masters on exhibition the visitors will find the best pieces,most importantly Eddy Wenting.So what changed the course of Litas life so dramatically? Litas grandmother died when sh
