Major League Baseball (MLB) had a problem that was hard to deal with this week,as word spread that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice are investigating the St Louis Cardinals. Employees of the team may have hacked(非法侵入) into the computer database of the Houston Astros. If the investigation proves that the Cardinals did do the act,it will be considered not only unsportsmanlike but also illegal.
In a statement,the MLB said it is aaware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegsd act of the Houston Astros' baseball operations database.The organization added,“Once the investigative process has been completed by federal law enforcement officials,we will judge the next steps and will make decisions immediately.w The investigation began after the Astros* internal trade talks were posted anonymously（匿名地） on the Internet last year. People wanted to know who was responsible for making the private information public.
The two major-league teams had been competitors for a long time,but things became even worse when the Astros hired Jeff Luhnow as their general manager in 2011. Luhnow had previously worked for the Cardinals as head of their player development department. Investigators think the Cardinals may have been able to get inside the Astros’ database using Luhnow's old passwords from when he was working for the St. Louis team.
This is the first known case of a professional sports team hacking another team's network,but some cybersecurity(网络安全) experts say other teams may have done it before without getting caught. Craig Newman,chairman of the privacy and data security practice of the New York law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler,told The AssociatedPress that it would be “irresponsible” to assume this is the first incident of hacking in the world of professional sports.

A few days before his eighth birthday,in February 1817,Abraham Lincoln shot a wild turkey. He hoped the kill would impress his father. Instead,the sight of the dead bird left the future president traumatized. Lincoln later wrote that he never again pulled a trigger (扳机) on any other animal.
On the frontier,animals were seen as sources of labor,food,or amusement. It was a time when ripping (撕) the heads off live geese was entertainment like late-night TV. But Lincoln wasn’t shy about sticking up for animals. As a youngster,he saved a turtle when some boys tried to pour hot coals on the animal's back; he also warned his friends that “an ant's life -was to it as sweet as ours to us." The role animals played in Lincoln's life has been largely overlooked. But it's not an unimportant part of his life. As biographer Michael Burlingame writes, “Lincoln's anger at the mistreatment of animals foreshadowed his anger at the cruelties of slavery."
Lincoln,s White House was full of cats,rabbits,goats,and horses. And once,he noticed three kittens on the floor of a telegrapher's tent, “moving about pitifUlly." Hearing that the kittens’ mother had died,Lincoln ordered an officer to see that the cats were cared for. Before leaving,he returned to play with them — three times.
But there was one animal he adored above all. Around 1855,Lincoln adopted a lost yellow dog he named Fido (from fidelis,Latin for faithfur') , Fido lived up to his name,accompanying Lincoln everywhere. But after the election of 1860,Lincoln feared the trip to Washington would be too stressful,and left the dog behind with friends. He even left behind Fido's favorite horsehair sofa to keep him comfortable.
When the president died,Fido returned his love,standing guard as thousands of mourners filed through Lincoln's home to pay their respects.

2. On the frontier,people amused themselves .

C. by training animals D. by keeping animals
3. According to Michael Burlingame,the way Lincoln treated animals had something to do with.
A. his family background
B. his academic experience
C. his interests and hobbies
D. his political performance
4. What can we infer about Lincoln from Paragraph 3 ?
A. He enjoyed playing games.
B. He was interested in animal stories.
C. He felt great sympathy for the weak.
D. He dreamed of becoming an animal doctor.
5. Which word can best describe Fido?

Whatever we do,let's not forget the burbot (江鲟) , a dark,mysterious,unusual creature which lives down deep in the bottom of deep lakes.
The fish is “fat looking and a little bit soft”. With large flat heads,small eyes,downtumed mouths full of sharp teeth,they are not exactly pretty. They are also extremely slimy(粘糊糊的) and under the chin is a single long,fleshy barbel(鱼的触须) ，
giving the impression of a goatee(山羊胡子). These characteristics are important.

For several months a year burbot can be trapped under ice 一 they need cold temperatures to lay eggs and all that unpleasant thick ice provides excellent protection.
Although still present throughout the rest of Europe and North America,the only burbot in England today can be found in the rooms of the Natural History Museum in London, preserved in jars. The Angling Times offered a reward of £100 to anyone who found one in the UK,but that money lies unclaimed.
