Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless (Wi-Fi) connection? Just recently, a man was arrested for doing just that. At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便携式电脑) and using an unsecured(无安全保护措施) wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic? Listen to the following different views on it.
For a start, if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will affect your speed of access or download limit. Also, it’s bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally, just imagine this: what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity? I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.
— by Sandra Wilkins
Basically, if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, what’s the problem? It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book, or watching someone else’s firework display. It’s not stealing.
Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault(过错) if someone else uses it. Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open. By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it. Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器). And finally, haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve? They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues. But this is just ridiculous(荒谬的).

五.任务型阅读（10分）
Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, powerlines and wi-fi (路由器) could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumours.
For example, Camilla Rees, 48, a former investment banker in the US, moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation coming from next door. Rees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her ability to think clearly. “I would wake up dizzy in the morning. I’d fall to the floor. I had to leave to escape that nightmare,” she said. Since then, she’s been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields, or EMFs（低频电磁场）.
And she’s not alone. Millions of people say they suffer from headaches, depression, nausea and rashes when they’re too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs.
Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat, governments are still concerned. In fact, last April, the European Parliament called for countries to take steps to reduce exposure to EMFs. The city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones.
If these fears are reasonable, then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi-fi hotpots.
Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia. Also there’s a greater than 90% chance that cellphones can cause brain tumours.
But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia (猜疑). Dr Martha Linet, the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” said Linet. “We don't have the evidence that there’s much danger.”
Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness — so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group.
According to Robert Park, a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US, the magnetic waves aren’t nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA, which is how known threats, such as UV rays and X-rays, cause cancer.
Perhaps it’s just psychological. Some experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similar to chemical sensitivity syndrome, which is a condition that’s considered to be psychological.
Whether EMFs are harmful or not, a break in the countryside, without the cellphone, would probably be good for all of us.

Internet access and power outlets available in most cafes in the．developed world might reduce your productivity．
A typical tale from store managers is of customers who buy a single cup of coffee or tea and occupy a four-seat table for eight or more hours．A store full of these people turns the shop into a silence broken only by the tapping of keyboard keys．In others, however, customers use the network briefly, and the turnover is high．
Cafe owners have talked about their discomfort for years．Some cafes founders started turning off Wi-Fi （无线网络） on the weekends．The experiment led to success, they said．People who otherwise avoided the cafe came in, and the place became crowded on Saturdays and Sundays．In the years since, hundreds of articles have appeared about similar cases in which a coffee shop turns off the signal, and sometimes blocks electrical outlets．
Nick Bilton, the New York Times" Bits blog editor, was banned from reading an electronic book a few days ago．The Actual Cafe in Oakland opened last year with lapton-free weekends．The owner, Sal Bednarz, wrote in an email, "I think it's fascinating that we've allowed technology to enter so much of our lives that it can feel like an affront （冒犯） when someone asks us to step away
from it for a short while．"
Dan Drozdenko, the owner of the Downbeat Cafe in Los Angeles, says, “People come here because we don't offer it．They know they can get their work done and concentrated．"
For tasks that don't require constant monitoring of live date—such as stock management or minding server operations—productivity seems to soar when the constant bright shiny ball of the Internet is nowhere to be seen．
People often leave the house or office to free themselves of conditions that reduce productivity, only to walk into a venue that lets them surf, and otherwise avoid focus．Could the offer of single-tasking and quiet thinking be a selling point when drinking coffee or tea? A moment's relief from the Blackbgerry buzz, the iphone alert, the Android annoyance? Only if one remembers to turn off one's 3G connection, too．
72．What's the disadvantage for a cafe owner if the customers use the Internet long?
A．It makes the turnover slow and affects the business．
B．It makes the cafe silent and is bad for its atmosphere．
C．The owner is disturbed by the tapping of keyboard keys．
D．It costs a lot to offer Internet access to customers．
73．What happened after Wi-Fi was turned off in the cafe on the weekends?
A．It added much inconvenience to people
B．Customers stayed in the cafe longer than before．
C．The environment in the cafe was improved．
D．There were more customers in the cafe．
74．What can be inferred from the words of Dan Drozdenko?
A．If people don't get their work done, they shouldn't go to a coffee shop．
B．If people go to a coffee shop, they would concentrate more on their work．
C．If people do their work while surfing the Internet in a coffee shop, they can't concentrate．
D．If people can't surf the Internet in a coffee shop, they would be unwilling to come,
75．The underlined word "soar" in Paragraph 6 is the closest in meaning to "__"．
A．exist B．maintain
C．rise D．change．
