The New York Civil Liberties Union (shortened as NYCLU) is disappointed in a new public Wi-Fi service. LinkNYC provides “super-fast, free” Internet connections to people throughout New York City, but as the NYCLU pointed out this week, it also retains the personal data of anyone who connects to the service. Even if you don’t live in New York City, the concerns are worth taking to heart as more urban centers roll out Wi-Fi services.“CityBridge, the company behind the LinkNYC kiosks that have begun replacing phone booths in Manhattan, retains a vast amount of information about users—often indefinitely—building a massive database that carries a risk of security breaches and unwarranted NYPD (New York Police Department) surveillance,” the NYCLU said Wednesday in a press release.The release mentions the recent trouble over Apple’s refusal to unlock an iPhone for the FBI. In a sense, the issues are similar: Should innocent people sacrifice privacy for the sake of security? You can imagine the argument. If a would-be terrorist is dumb enough to communicate via public Wi-Fi, shouldn’t the police be able to access that information if it helps stop a crime?Maybe, maybe not. In any case, the situations aren’t totally similar. IPhones are privately owned devices, and Apple argues that the FBI’s request would actually create more security risks for consumers. Public Wi-Fi, on the other hand, is just what it sounds like. One might reasonably expect that communications via such networks aren’t private.A representative for LinkNYC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Huffington Post about the NYCLU’s complaints. For now, though, take this as a reminder that “free” doesn’t necessarily mean “no strings attached.” If you’re worried about the government accessing your data, you should refrain from using government-backed Wi-Fi.Maybe it won’t always be this way. “Internet access is not a choice, it’s a modern-life necessity,” Mariko Hirose, senior staff attorney at the NYCLU, said in the press release. “The city’s public Wi-Fi network should set the bar for privacy and security to help ensure that New Yorkers do not have to sacrifice their rights and freedoms to sign online.”1. Why is NYCLU disappointed with a new public Wi-Fi service in New York?A) Because it keeps the users’ personal information. B) Because it fails to offer fast and free Internet services.C) Because it will launch Wi-Fi services first in other cities.D) Because it will cooperate with NYPD in the future.2. Which of the following is true about the second paragraph?A) CityBridge has been building phone booths in Manhattan.B) CityBridge has kept a great amount of users’ data. C) Phone booths in Manhattan are leaking out users’ data.D) Phone booths in Manhattan are under the police surveillance.3. Which of the following is true about public Wi-Fi according to the passage?A) Public Wi-Fi serves users without any information verification.B) Communications via public Wi-Fi are not private. C) It’s avoidable for the government to access data of those Wi-Fi users.D) Free pubic Wi-Fi allows you to use Wi-Fi without attached conditions.4. What can we learn from Mariko Hirose?A) The need of public Wi-Fi is a tendency in modern life. B) New Yorkers are advised to avoid using public Wi-Fi.C) New Yorkers should cooperate with the local government.D) The city’s network should make regulations to prevent terrorists.5. What is the passage mainly about?A) Apple’s refusal to cooperate with the FBI.B) How to use free public Wi-Fi in New York.C) The security of public network in New York. D) How to use public Wi-Fi to prevent terrorists.
From good readingwe can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good bookmay absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget oursurroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatestpleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, andlessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose inreading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment andsatisfaction.With a good bookin our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed aretaken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companionsand friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good ofall lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either becausethey resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they presentunfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our humanfriends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never wearyus with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without anyfear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books arealways ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of themost valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel farfrom home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead variedlives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seeminglydull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place,a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bankaccount to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train totransport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire. Throughbooks we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climblofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross thescorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit thestudios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Parisboulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or thekindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole worldis ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences arealmost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasuresof art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all opento the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.1.Why is it thatwe sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A. No one has cometo disturb you.B. Everything isso quiet and calm around you.C. The book youare reading is so interesting and attractive.D.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
