26、One of the problems with passwords (密码) is that users forget them. In an effort to remember them, people use simple things like their dog’s names and their birth dates — anything that will give them a clue to remember what their passwords are. But for a hacker(黑客), this is the same as locking your door and leaving the key under the doormat(门口地垫).
To create a safe password that is easy to remember, follow these simple 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 and your pet’s name.
With the help of today’s computing power, it doesn’t take long to try every word in the dictionary and find your password, so you’d better not use real words for your password.
You can make a password much safer by mixing different types of characters. Use some capital letters along with small letters, numbers and even special characters such as & and %.
In order not to create a password using different character types that is hard to remember or using a word from the dictionary, you can use a “passphrase(代码)”. Think of a sentence from a song or a poem that you like and create a password using the first letters from each word. For example, instead of just setting a password like “yr$1Hes”, you can take a sentence such as “I like to read the about.com Internet network security website” and make it a password like “il2rta!nsw” by using the number “2” for the word “to” and using “!” in place of “Internet”. You can use may characters types and create a safe password that is hard to guess, but much easier for you to remember.
【1】The underlined word “clue” in the passage is similar to “_____” in meaning.
A.an explanation
B.a condition
C.a conclusion
D.a piece of information
【2】According to the passage, a passphrase is made up of _________.
A.different capital letters
B.long English words from the dictionary
C.sentences from a song or a poem
D.the first letters from each word of a sentence
【3】Which of the following passwords might be the best according to the passage?
A.jessica208.
B.19890703.
C.il2rta!nsw.
D.3About&5.
【4】What is the best title for this passage?
A.How to use you passwords correctly.
B.How to keep others away from your computers.
C.How to protect your private information online.
D.How to make you passwords safer and easier to remember.

28、 Families will be rewarded for the first time for putting out less rubbish under new plans to significantly promote recycling, especially of valuable materials like glass.
The new plan for collecting waste in England will scrap fines (罚款) for putting plastic in the wrong recycling bin. Instead, families will be offered rewards for recycling more rubbish measured by a microchip (芯片) in the rubbish bin. Caroline Spelman, an Environment Secretary, said, “It is better to use a plan that offers people rewards, rather than punishing them. We want to help those people who want to do the right thing by reducing waste and recycling at home. This means making sure communities are getting the collection services they want and not punishing hard-working families who make mistakes by putting bins out on the wrong day or leaving the waste in the wrong recycling bin.”
Though the punishment for putting waste in the wrong recycling bin has been given up, plans to try and remove the unpopular twice-a-week bin collections have largely failed despite the efforts of Eric Pickles, a Communities Secretary. Although Mrs. Spelman made it clear that communities will be supported in efforts to increase the times of collections, and the Conservative Party will not force local authorities to return to weekly collections. Most communities expect the introduction of weekly rubbish collections, as this will solve some of the problems about environment.
“We will continue to help local communities develop local solutions to collecting and dealing with family waste and will work with communities to meet families’ reasonable expectations for weekly collections, particularly of smelly waste.” said Mrs. Spelman.
【1】What will families be rewarded for in future?
A.Producing less rubbish. B.Putting bins out on the right day.
C.Throwing rubbish into the bin. D.Leaving rubbish in the wrong recycling bin.

C.Local solutions to collecting family waste will be stopped.
D.People will not be punished for putting rubbish wrongly.
【4】Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?

The Safe (保险箱)
----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich
Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.
The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect!

32、阅读下面的短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Why You Should Never Cross Your Legs
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate(循环). This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it's best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it's not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic (骨盆的) bones to move. Since your pelvic bone supports your back and neck: this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
Leg crossing has long been linked to manners. In some countries and cultures leg crossing is looked on as casual, disrespectful, and altogether lower class. For the same reasons, many religions frown upon leg crossing in church. And what's good for the soul should be good for the feet as well. But respect aside, your health is affected in the long run if you are accustomed to crossing legs although you might not feel its immediate effects. The problem is really caused by siting in the first place. Don't make yourself comfortable--- get up and get moving.
