6.Parents,let this be a lesson:Don't leave your child unattended with your ipad.Seven-year-old Faisall Shugaa decided to get himself an early Christams presents in the form of Dino Bucks,which in addition to being an in-game currency of Jurassic World,are also linked to,you know,real money.The total?An unbelievable 5,000,all of which was spent between December 13 and 18.Needless to say,Faisall's father,Mohamed Shugaa,flew into a rage about the charges.As it turns out,the youngster tried his father's Apple ID and password,which surprisingly allowed him to make purchases,mostly to upgrade the dinosaurs available in the vedio game.In a six-day period,Faisall managed to make an impressive 65 transactions (交易),at one point spending some 2,000 over the course of a single hour.
Shugaa,a store owner in the United Kindom,discovered his son's many,many mistakes when he attemped to make a purchase from a supplier.After his own charge was decreased,he called his credit card company.He was put in touch with the fraud(诈骗) team,who asked if he"was aware 60-plus transactions had been made to itunes from December 13 to 18 totaling 3,911 pounds,"he told British newspaper The Metro."I didn't have a clue what they were talking about and I had to check my bank account online to understand what was going on."
After he figured it out,things didn't get much better.
"I was so mad.I'm 32 years old,why would Apple think I would be spending thousands of pounds on buying dinosaurs and upgrading a game?"he said
But don't worry-this story has a happy ending.Despite initially being told by an Apple Support team member that there was no possibility he could get a refund(退款),Shugaa eventually got all his money back,which is lucky for Faisall(considering he would've gotten zero presents and been in even more trouble otherwise).Shugaa,for his part,says that he hopes Apple does something to see to it that no other parents experience the same headache.
Apple,for its part,recommends that parents not share their password.Or at the very least,make sure that your child is using your iDevice under careful supervision(监管).

解答 29.B 细节理解题.根据文章第一段中的"Seven-year-old Faisall Shugaa decided to get himself an early Christams presents in the form of Dino Bucks,which in addition to being an in-game currency of Jurassic World"及"mostly to upgrade the dinosaurs available in the vedio game"可知,七岁的Faisall Shugaa为自己准备一份的圣诞礼物--恐龙币,一种侏罗纪世界的游戏货币,在电子游戏里来升级他的恐龙,因此B项中的"他成功地升级了游戏中的恐龙"是正确的,故选B.
30.B 细节理解题.根据第一段中的"the youngster tried his father's Apple ID and password,which surprisingly allowed him to make purchases"可知,这个孩子记住了爸爸的苹果账号和密码,这使他可以随心所欲的花钱,应该能知道手机和银行账户是捆绑的,因此C项"私自动用了爸爸的银行账户"符合,故选C.
31.B 词义猜测题. 根据第一段中的"The total?An unbelievable 5,000,all of which was spent between December 13 and 18"可知,花费总额高达5000美元,这些钱都是在12月13号至18号期间花的,面对整个事实,爸爸肯定是极为生气的.故选B.
32.A 推理判断题. 根据最后一段中的"Apple,for its part,recommends that parents not share their password.Or at the very least,make sure that your child is using your iDevice under careful supervision"可知,苹果公司建议父母不要分享自己的密码,或者至少保证孩子是在你严密的监督之下使用苹果产品,由此可推知,爸爸在这件事发生后应该是重新设置了新的密码.故选A.
