11、e, many of the children said, No, that never happened to me.

34、mes from hard work.” But sadly, many of us dont get the real meaning of these lines: Dont waste food.News 1+1，a famous CCTV program, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.Do we have too much food? No. According to the UN World Food Pr

35、ogram, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

37、s food. Here are some tips: Dont order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

In order to remember them, people use simple things like their dogs name, their birth date, or the name of the current mon

42、th-anything that will give them a clue to remember what their password is.For the curious hacker (黑客) who has gained access to your online account, this is the same as locking your door and leaving the key under the doormat (门垫).To create a safe password that is easy to remember, follow these simple

43、 steps: You should never use personal information as part of your password. It is very easy for someone to guess things like your last name, pets name, childs birth date and other similar details. There are tools available to help attackers guess your password. With todays computing power, it doesnt

44、 take long to try every word in the dictionary and find your password, so it is best if you do not use real words for your password. You can make a password much safer by mixing different types of characters. Use some uppercase letters (大写字母) along with lowercase letters (小写字母), numbers and even spe

45、cial characters such as “&” or “%”. Rather than trying to remember a password that is created using various character types and is not a word from the dictionary, you can use a “passphrase”. Think of a sentence or a line from a song or poem that you like and create a password using the first letter

46、from each word.For example, rather than just having a password like “yr $ 1 Hes”, you could take a sentence such as “I like to read the About. Com Internet network security website” and convert it to a password like “il2rtA! nsws” by using the number “2” for the word “to” and using an exclamation po

47、int (感叹号) in place of the “I” for “Internet”. You can use a variety of character types and create a safe password that is hard to figure out, but much easier for you to remember. You should use a different username and password for each login youre trying to protect. That way, if someone figures out

48、 one of your passwords, the others are still safe. Another approach, which is less safe, but provides a fair balance between security and convenience, is to use one username and password for sites and applications that dont need the extra security, but use unique usernames and more safe passwords on

49、 sites that require more security, such as your banks website.1How is a password made up of ones dogs name or birthdate?AIt is safe and easy to remember.BIt can get hacked easily by attackers.CIt suits those who have a poor memory.DIt is the most commonly used type of password.2According to the arti

50、cle, what is a passphrase made up of?ADifferent character types.BA long dictionary word.CThe title of a song or a poem.DThe first letter from each word of a sentence.3Which of these passwords might be the safest according to the article?Ajessica208.Byr $ 1 Hes.CHERO&37.Dil2rtA!nsws.4Whats the articl

Do you know the following?Dont count your chicken befor

52、e they hatch.The expression “Dont count your chickens before they hatch” means “Dont expect that all your eggs, which have been laid, will hatch.” “Hatch” is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and comes out successfully. So the expression mainly means “Dont depend on t

53、hings working out just as you want them to.” This saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesops Fables.A chicken-and-egg situationIn history, philosophers（哲学家）and scientists have met this dilemma（困境）:Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and

54、 the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term “a chicken-and-egg situation” means a situation where it is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which cau

55、sed the other one.Dont be such a chickenThere seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe thats not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But “Dont be such a chicken” means “Dont be so scared and get a bit more courage.” So if

56、your friend is afraid to do something , you can say to him or her, “Dont be such a chicken. Just have a try!”1The underlined word “hatch” means “_” in Chinese.A孵化 B长大 C破碎 D出售2While discussing the idiom “A chicken-and-egg situation”, the writer mentions Aristotle and Stephen Hawking to show that _.AA

57、ristotles opinion was wrongBStephen Hawkings opinion is wrongCits impossible to find the right answer to this questionDphilosophers and scientists usually have the same answer to a question3We may use the idiom “Dont be such a chicken” in the situation when someone_.Ais not brave enough Benjoys coun

59、. Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he worked day after day to improve. Despite his efforts, they would

60、 always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.The young man wasnt going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it aw
