Stealing? I guess we were stealing. But in our 13-year-old brains the matter of ownership _________ occurred to us. We just wanted to _________ some strawberries in Mr Jordan’s backyard. So we went _________ into his backyard.
When we started _________ his strawberries, all of a sudden Mr Jordan came outside.
“What are you boys doing out here?” he _________ and tried to grab one or two as my friends rushed past him, but they were too _________ for the older gentleman to seize, and all the boys except me disappeared within seconds.
Speed was never my _________. So I could just stand there and _________ whatever punishment would surely come my way from Mr Jordan.
He marched me to my house and my mother criticized me. My friends gathered to celebrate their _________and observe my capture. They _________ me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain to my father about how _________ it was.
“I don’t think so,” Dad said. “You got the punishment you _________.”
“But what about other guys?” I asked.
Dad said, “You can’t _________what happens to other people. You can only _________ what happens to you. You picked Mr Jordan’s strawberries that night, and you were punished for it. To me, that is completely fair.”
Then I couldn’t _________my father’s words. _________through the years I knew what he talked about. We didn’t come to earth with a _________ that life would treat us fairly.

Security—for the information on your smart phone, as well as for the phone itself—is a hot topic these days.The truth is that you're packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone, and you should keep it safe.
When it comes to physical security, iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone, a free app from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your (lost, stolen or misplaced) phone on the map.You can then sound an alarm, send a message that will pop up on its screen, lock the phone or erase all your data.
Android does not have an exact equivalent(等价物), but there are plenty of alternatives. A free app called Lookout offers the find?my?phone feature.The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your phone remotely.
Then there is your coffee shop's Wi?Fi network.Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on(窥视) people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data. Lookout will caution you when you've logged on to an insecure network, but cannot protect you once you're there.
In order to protect yourself on such networks, you can use a virtual private network, or VPN. This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across Starbucks. It also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you're travelling, allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries.
If you have an iPhone, the simplest VPN app is probably Hotspot Shield, whose distinguishing feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing (浏览), as opposed to other VPN apps that require you to start them up manually(手动地)．This matters, because even if you decide you want a VPN app, you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it. For the most part, that was true of Hotspot Shield, though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost connection without warning. I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes, which involved setting my phone constantly.
If even reading about the settings on your phone drive you crazy, then it is probably best to stay away from a VPN app. But if you're the type who can't resist checking your bank balance from your corner bar, the hassle(麻烦) may be preferable to the risk.
1.Which of the following can warn you against the insecure network?
A. Android. B. VPN.
C. Lookout. D. Find My iPhone.
2.By using VPN, users can ________．
A. find their lost phones on the Internet
B. remove all the data from the phone remotely
C. check the bank balance now and then
D. save their browsing from being tracked
3.The underlined word “that” in Para.6 refers to the fact that ________.
A. a VPN app kicks in automatically
B. the users start VPN apps manually
C. the app takes a while to connect
D. users spend no time thinking about it

Europe’s deadly outbreak of a rare form of E. coli bacteria (大肠杆菌) has brought new attention to food safety issues. One of the problems when people get sick from food is that the simplest question is often difficult or even impossible to answer. Just what did the people eat that made them sick?
Of course, one way to avoid these medical mysteries is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply. This is easier said than done, but scientists keep looking for new ways.
Scientists in the United States have developed an experimental system that uses a high-tech optical scanner. The system is designed to identify the presence of contaminants(致污物) like soil or animal waste on fresh produce. These can be sources of E. coli. E. coli bacteria naturally live in the intestines (肠) of humans and many animals. Most kinds of E. coli are harmless but some can make people sick.
The new scanner can also show damage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers.
Scientists designed the system at a Department of Agriculture research center in Beltsville, Maryland. Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team.
MOON KIM: “We were requested, we were asked, to develop a method to detect contamination in produce. So we started with the apple as the model sample.”
The scanner uses a high-speed camera placed over the conveyer belt that moves the produce along. As the apples move along the belt, the scanner captures images of each piece of fruit.
Moon Kim says the team hopes the system will be available before long.
MOON KIM: “We are targeting for development in commercial plants for the next several years.”
The scanner can direct a sorting machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones. The system is currently able to show the surface of only half the apple as it speeds by. The inventers hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface.
1.What is the main topic of the text?
A. Bacteria B. A high-tech scanner
C. A camera D. Food safety
2.E. coli bacteria ________.
A. broke out all over the world
B. comes from soil or animal waste
C. is extremely harmful to health
D. does not cause illness
3.The high-tech scanner ________.
A. can help to sort out different fruits
B. make the produce appeal to shoppers
C. can only capture images of the whole apple
D. can identify the presence of contaminants
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A. The scanner needs to be improved.
B. The scanner will be available in the next several years.
C. Moon Kim is unwilling to develop the scanner.
D. The scanner is connected to a sorting machine.

Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.
“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others,” said Professor Michel Claes, the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the other hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”
Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose French?Canadians because they share the same language as France, and originally came from France and share certain values．Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.
The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.
Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.
Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.
“North America has its own educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission.” he said.
Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.
“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”
1.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy ________.
A．have the same family spirit
B．have some similar cultural traditions
C．have experienced some similar social changes
D．have experienced similar cultural developments
2.How did the researchers carry out the study?
A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada, France and Italy.
B．By collecting answers of children from Canada, France and Italy.
C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.
D．By questioning children from French?Canadian families.
3.According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parent?children relationships among Canada, France and Italy?
A．Educational opportunities.
B．Traditional ideas.
C．Educational values.
D．Historical events.

阅读下面的文章，从每题后面所给的四个选项中选出正确的一项。
A developer edition of Sony’s augmented reality smart glasses will go on sale in ten countries next month, the tech giant has announced.
Pre-orders for the SmartEyeglass, costing $840 (£620), are now being taken in the UK and Germany, with Japan and the US to follow shortly. The black-framed glasses are compatible (兼容的) with recent Android operating systems. Last month Google announced that it was withdrawing its smart glasses for redevelopment. Sony’s initial model will come with a software development kit to encourage people to design apps for it, the company said.
The glasses, which weigh 77g, contain an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, image and brightness sensors, 3-megapixel camera and a microphone. They also come with a controller, designed to be attached to clothing, which contains a speaker, touch sensor and the device’s battery. Text is displayed in front of the wearer in monochrome green.
Apple chief executive Tim Cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device. “We always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them,” he told the New Yorker. “They were intrusive (闯入的), instead of pushing technology to the background, as we’ve always believed.”
Stuart Miles, founder of tech site Pocket-lint, said: “I think [Sony is] wasting their time, energy and effort.”
“Google Glass obviously needed a complete rethink... I can’t see how something thick-rimmed and more invasive-looking than Google Glass is going to catch on.
“People are keen on wearables like fitness bands and watches, but they care about their faces. Wearing something on your head is a lot stronger than wearing something on your arm,” he added. “The industry keeps pushing it but consumers just don’t want it.”
1. In which countries people can get the SmartEyeglass first?
A. The US and Japan. B. The US and the UK.
C. The UK and Japan. D. Germany and the UK.
2.The purpose of this passage is to __________.
A. introduce an accelerometer developed by the Google company
B. tell the people that the SmartEyeglass will go on sale
C. people like the glasses very much
D. the SmartEyeglass is less than 840 yuan
3.What can be inferred from what Stuart Miles said?
A. He supports Sony’s efforts to develop the SmartEyeglass.
B. He cares more about his clothes and face.
C. He dislikes the SmartEyeglass.
D. He really wants to wear them.
