Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like?
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students.When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather rent than buy them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough.When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.
A. Every student is given a locker.
B. Each day, students take six or seven classes.
C. Sometimes their parents drive them to school.
D. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.
E. This is because each teacher has their own classroom.
F. The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon.
G. This article will describe a typical American high school and its students.

【题目】Thanks to expensive data fees, you might be tempted to log onto that free public Wi-Fi service while you’re out and about. 1

“Think about the cost of being connected all the time. Nothing is free,” David Lee, a product manager for Norton, told CNBC. “2” The Harvard Business Review agrees: “You’re taking a risk every time you log on to a free network in a coffee shop, hotel lobby, or airport lounge.”

3 According to a survey by the company Symantic, 87 percent of U.S. consumers have used a public internet connection. And it was found that over 70 percent of them checked their personal email through public Wi-Fi, while 11 percent logged onto their online banking account.

No matter how safe the Wi-Fi connection seems to be, using it leaves your computer or smart phone easy to be attacked by hackers and data thieves. You don’t really know who owns and monitors that router, nor who has access to the data that posses through it. Not to mention, hackers have dozens of ways to compromise public Wi-Fi accounts, from creating a network that appears legal to creating pop-ups that trick the user into downloading malware (恶意软件) onto their computers.4

To protect yourself against hackers, experts say your best defense is a virtual private network (VPN), which encrypts (加密) your online activity. You can download your very own VPN through an app for Apple or Android devices, or by using the free encryption service CyberGhost.5 But before you even start browsing, use this website to make a password that keeps you safe from hackers.

A. These are all of the tricks hackers use to hack your Internet security.

B. That can save you a lot of trouble.

C. The biggest threat is that your data and identity could be completely exposed.

D. Don’t let convenience outweigh the consequences, though.

E. Setting up firewalls and antivirus software will also defend your computer against hackers.

F. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of the dangers.

G Hackers usually steal data in this way.

【题目】请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.
Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don't take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.
Let's use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.
What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.
So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn't built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on.
Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.

Title

Focus on the present

To reach our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.

Common

◆We do not focus on our present situations.
◆Most of us see our present situations as a stepping stone to our destination.
◆We do not spend the time truly where we are today and what we already have in our lives.

Example—our job

◆Forget the thought of getting What we should do is our best to do our current job.
◆To be the best in our current job, we should get further education, work harder than stop complaining and ourselves to our job.

If we are grateful for what we have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can, we can not onlyin the future, but also enjoy our life every day.
