Joe liked mangoes(芒果) very much.One day ,he decided to get some from the very top of a tree---mangoes which are exposed to the sun most are the sweetest.
So he climbed up to the top,where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits. However,when he was ready to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground.Fortunately,he caught the branch as he was falling,and remained helplessly hanging on the tree.He started to call for help.The nearly villagers immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but failed to help him.
Then a well-known sage(智者)arrived.People were very curious to see what he would do,as he was famous in solving almost all people’s problems in the area.
The sage kept silent at first, then he picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.
Everybody was surprised. The hanging man started to shout,”Are you crazy?”Do you want me to break my neck?”The sage said nothing,but took another stone and threw it at the man .Joe got angrier,”If I can just come down, I will shoot you!”Everybody was nervous, not knowing what would happen next !The sage just picked another stone and threw it again at Joe,ever more forcefully(猛烈地)! The helpless young man couldn’t be much angrier.
Now something unexpected(意料之外的)happened. That’s what everybody wanted--Joe began to use all his skills and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down for him. At that time ,he just set his mind to revenge(报复)on the sage.

Butterflies are common all over the world, but the ones in hotter countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries and there are more different kinds. Usually the male butterflies more brightly colored than the female.

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 dales, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers 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.
1.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 2015 more than 950 million records were protected D. there is no way to protect our private information
2.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
3.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
