About friendship

Section B

We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship.

Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends.But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality.Loyalty is the most important for friendship.No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them.

No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends.It is not based on bloodline.It relies on your intention.To you, some friends are fun-loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity.Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate.In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person.So friendship can benefit.

  If you have read the fairytale about the Italian boy Pinocchio, you will remember that every one knew when he lied because his nose grew.But did you know that your brain can also betray(出卖)you when you tell a lie?

  A study released last Monday showed that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those who are telling the truth.According to the US researchers, this finding could lead to creating a more accurate lie detector(测谎仪).

  “There may be separate areas in the brain involved in truth-telling and cheating that can be measured,” said Scott Faro, head of the research group.

  Faro and other scientists tested nine volunteers.Six of them were asked to shoot a toy gun and then lie and say they didn't do it.Three others who watched told the truth about what happened.

  The volunteers were connected to a special machine, which used a strong magnet(磁铁)to provide a real-time picture of brain activity.Clear differences were seen between the liars and the truth-tellers.A total of seven areas were active in the cheating group, but only four in the truth-telling team.

  “It seemed to take more brain effort to tell the lie than to tell the truth,” Faro said.

  The traditional lie-detector machine looks at sweat, skin, breathing and heart rate changes.

  Using such new technology as a lie detector would be expensive, but it might be worthwhile in some criminal cases.

(1)

At the beginning of the story, the author mentioned Pinocchio in order to ________.

[  ]

A.

introduce something funny about lying

B.

tell you that now in real life liars can be recognized

C.

inform you that criminals can no longer lie without being found out

D.

introduce you to a discovery that another part of your body can give a liar away

(2)

What did Faro and other scientists find?

[  ]

A.

Cheating and truth-telling involve totally different brain areas.

B.

More volunteers are needed to make sure that their technology is reliable.

C.

The differences in brain activities can show whether a person has told a lie.

D.

Telling the truth is much easier than telling a lie.

(3)

Which is the biggest disadvantage of the prospective(预期的)lie-detector?

[  ]

A.

It could only be used in criminal cases.

B.

Its cost would be very high.

C.

Compared to the traditional lie-detector, it still needs perfecting.

D.

Differences can be shown only in brain activities.

(4)

The main purpose of writing this story is to ________.

[  ]

A.

inform us that a new research suggests a new lie-detector is on the way

B.

warn liars of the possibility of being found out

C.

show that brain does not tell lies

D.

tell truth-teller some good news

“All men are created equal” is one idea that nearly every American would agree upon.  36 they sometimes betray the idea in their daily lives, they have a deep faith  37 in some fundamental way no one is born superior to anyone else.
In the early years of American history, because titles of nobility(贵族) were forbidden, no  38 class system developed in the United States. Firmly believing that being born into a lower class would not  39 them from success and they would have a better chance in America, thousands of immigrants   40 to leave the European societies, where their    41  in life was determined  42 by the social class into which they were born. It was because the dreams of many of there immigrants were   43 in their new country, though there might be  44 in some situations, that Americans came to believe in equality of opportunity.
Americans do not mean that everyone should be  45 equal when they say they believe in equality of opportunity.  46 , they do mean that each person should have an equal chance for success. Abraham Lincoln once said, “We wish to  47 the humblest(最微贱的) man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else. When one starts poor, free society is  48 that he knows he can   49 his condition.”
However, competition is the price to be   50  for his equality of opportunity. Americans match their energy and intelligence against that of others in a competitive contest for success, because they believe competition  51 the best in any person. Indeed, the pressure of competition causes an American to be   52 , but it also places a constant emotional stress on him. In fact, in a society that gives so much  53  to those “winners”,   54 does not compete successfully for whatever reason never  55 into it as well as those who do.

They may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.

Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.

Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting(加密)them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.

The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.

Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.

Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.

Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.

Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.

1.According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _______.

A.had most of their company data stolen

B.depended on wireless computer networks

C.were exposed to drive-by hacking

D.were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking

2.Whichof the following is NOT considered in the study?

A.The number of computer hacking incidents.

B.The number of wireless computer networks identified.

C.The way in which data are sent and received.

D.The way in which data are hacked and stolen.

3.Most wireless network technology has_________.

A.data encryption program                 B.password security programs

C.illegal-user detection                    D.firewall

4.Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves ________.

A.wireless signal administration              B.changes in user’s awareness

C.users’ psychological health              D.stronger physical walls

5.The passage is most likely to be seen in a __________

A.book review       B.science fiction      C.textbook          D.computer magazine
