An increase incyber-attacks (网络攻击) makes the Internet seem like a scary place these days. How can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information? Here are several tips that can help you protect against cyber-attacks:

【1】

Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters. They should be at least eight characters in length. They should alsonotspell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pet's name or the name of a family member.

Change your password regularly

A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult. But no password is unbreakable. Hackers are better able to hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password. A password management service, like Dashlane or PasswordBox, can help you keep track of hard passwords. 【2】

Clear your browser (浏览器) history

This goes for all the devices you use in a day – your home computer, your work computer, or your friend's iPad. Internet browsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you've been and what you've done online. They keep records of every site you visited. 【3】 It is very easy for anyone who sees that information to steal a detailed record of your online activities.

Do not use free Wi-Fi

【4】 Often, a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks. These services might be useful, but they're also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device.

Use anti-virus protection

There are many anti-virus services available for users. 【5】 Some anti-virus services are even free. They are a great way to have a professional help keeping users one step ahead of hackers.

A. Be careful while using thumb drive.

B. These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.

C. Make your password harder to hack.

D. They can offer many different types of computer protection.

E. An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet.

F. Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks.

G. Unless you really need it, it is best not to use it.

The Olympic Games always start in bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held — the host country — marches in last.

The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.

The competition begins the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport — riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.

More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912, but it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.

Good morning, everyone,

I’m Li Hua from Xing Guan Middle school. The topic of my speech is “Let’s ride bicycles.”

For another , bicycles are environmental friendly because they won’t give off waste gas .What’s more , it is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our healthy .

Therefore, let’s take on the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us!

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think aboutthemselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior（自卑）.They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good, I know it's not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self respect. It is important for people to accepttheir weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.

【1】The first paragraph is mainly about______.

A. the cause of shyness B. the effect of shyness on people

C. the feelings of shy people D. the questions in the minds of shy people

【2】According to the writer, self-awareness is______.

A. harmful to people B. a weak point of shy people

C. the cause of unhappiness D. a good characteristic

【3】What is the shy people's reaction to praise?

A. They are pleased by it. B. They feel it is not true.

C. They are very sensitive to it. D. They feel they are worthy of it.

【4】We can learn from the passage that shyness can ______.

A. block our chances for a successful life

B. help us to live up to our full development

C. enable us to understand ourselves better
