All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.
Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.
So next time,when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks,please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.
42.Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network?
A.Because it can provide useful information.
B.Because the owner of the network is polite.
C.Because it is free.
D.Because it is safe.
43.We can learn from the passage that
A.not all the public WiFi networks are safe
B.none of the public WiFi networks is safe
C.in 2015more than 950million records were protected
D.there is no way to protect our private information
44.Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.
A.our birth dates
B.our passwords
C.our phone numbers
D.our smartphones
45.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.Don't Use Public WiFi Networks
B.Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible Danger
C.We Needn't Protect Our Private Information
D.Why Hackers Break into the Operating System.

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou,Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits.But some parents are strongly against the idea.They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂亊).They think that the school should provide students with a proper education,not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact,parents,schools and society play an equally (同等地)important role in developing the character of students.It is good for schools to give students such tasks,because few of the students will do them at home.Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years,some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools.Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management.As a result,many primary schools,especially those in big cities,do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks,fearing that they might get hurt.This is bad for the development of students'best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising.Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students'minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork.Also,it can make students'in﹣school experiences more meaningful.

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 1saw 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.1found 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".

Clouds
On a beautiful spring afternoon,
I relax﹣and lie down
On the soft green grass.
Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around.
My attention is taken up to the clouds.
For up there in the bright blue sky
Is a fluffy white world of cotton candy animals
And castles built with marshmallow bricks
But I must be creative and take the time
To bring this world into focus,
So I take a breath.
And squint my eyes just a little bit.
And before I know it﹣there they are﹣A big bear
Soft as a pillow, quietly curls up to sleep.
As a tiny, cotton ball mouse
Jumps out from a lion's house.
What a real to spend my afternoon
With these newly found friends moving by !

Alice in Wonderland
Chapter 2
Alice was not hurt, so she jumped to her feet in a moment. She looked up, and found the White Rabbit was still in sight. She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen. She found herself in a long, low hall.

key, and Alice's first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.
But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second

Education is very close in my heart. My father grew up in a very small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read. With his help, many people learned to write their own names; with his help, many people learned to read newspaper for the first time; with his help, many women were able to teach their children how to read. As his daughter, I know what education means to the people, especially those without it. After generations(几代人)of hard work, China has come a long way in education. I am a beneficiary(受益者)of that progress. Otherwise I would never become a singer and a professor of music.
Education is about women and the girls. It is important for girls to go to school because they will become their children's first teacher someday. In China, Spring Bud Education Program(春蕾计划) has helped over 3 million girls go back to school. Many of them have finished university education and they are doing well at work.
Education is about equality. In poor countries and regions(地区) the number of school dropouts(辍学) is astonishing. We call for more educational resources to these places.
Education is about the young people. Young people are the future. Education is important because it not only gives young people knowledge and skills but also helps them become responsible citizens.
Many years ago my father made a small difference in his village. Together we can make a big difference in the world. I was once asked about my Chinese dream. I said I hope all children especially girls can have chances to get good education. This is my Chinese dream. I believe one day education first will no longer be a dream, it will be a reality enjoyed by every young woman on this planet.
