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

从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Patricia Blues, 29, has a new aim in life: to keep drivers’ hands on their steering wheels and off their cell phones. On November 2, 2007, Blues lived through a horrible experience. A motorist dialing a cell phone drove through a stop sign at 45 miles per hour and ran into the side of Blues’ car. Blues’ 2-year-old daughter was killed immediately in the crash.

Blues has since devoted her time top pushing for laws that would prevent this type of tragedy from happening again.

Cell phones are not the only distractions(分神) that cause accidents. Eating, changing CDs, reading maps, talking to passengers, and just reaching for an object on the floor can be dangerous. Therefore, the emphasis should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions. However, talking on cell phones might be easier to regulate than eating or changing music. At least 34 states have already passed laws to restrict cell phone use in moving cars. No state has banned it yet, but several US. cities. Worldwide, 13 nations, including Australia, England, Germany, Japan and China have banned drivers’ use of cell phones in moving cars.

To date, no scientific evidence has been published showing that talking on the phone affects driving safety. But according to a test by some high school students, “driving while on the phone does affect safety and probably shouldn’t be done”.

1.What happened to Patricia Blues on November 2, 2007?

A. She was seriously injured in a car crash.

B. She lost her daughter in a road accident.

C. She broke the traffic rules at a bus stop

D. Her vehicle was destroyed by a motorbike.

2.The tragedy was caused by ________.

A. Blues’ lack of driving experience

B. the motorist’s failure of seeing the stop sign

C. Blues’ poor car conditions

D. the motorist’s absence of mind while driving

3.Patricia Blues’ new goal of life is to persuade the government ________.

A. to forbid the carrying of cell phones in cars

B. to educate drivers to avoid all distractions

C. to ban talking on cell phones while driving

D. to study harmful results of using cell phones

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Using cell phones while driving is easier to be controlled by law than other distractions

B. It is more important to make laws than educate drivers to be aware of driving safety.

C. Driving while on the cell phone is firmly against only by some students from high schools.

D. It is extremely urgent for the cities with a large population to restrict using cell phones
