Smartphone Security Blankets

Security—for the information on your smartphone, 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 (application program) from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your (lost, stolen or misplaced) phone on a 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, 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 WiFi network. Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on（窥视）people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data. Lookout’s apps will caution you when you’ve logged on to an unsecure 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 V.P.N. This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across the Starbucks. It also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you’re traveling, allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries.

If you have an iPhone, the simplest V.P.N. 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 V.P.N. apps that require you to start them up manually. This matters, because even if you decide you want a V.P.N. 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 drives you crazy, then it is probably best to stay away from a V.P.N. app. But if you’re the type who can’t resist checking your bank balance from your corner bar, the hassle may be preferable to the risk.                       

64. Which of the following can warn you against the unsecure network? 

A. Android.              B. V.P.N.                     C. Lookout.                D. Find My iPhone.

65. By using V.P.N., users can _______. 

A. find their lost phone on the Internet

B. erase all the data from the phone remotely

C. check their bank balance now and then

D. save their browsing from being tracked   

66. The underlined word “that” in Para. 6 refers to the fact that _____. 

A. a V.P.N. app kicks in automatically

B. the user starts V.P.N. apps manually

C. the app takes a while to connect

D. users spend no time thinking about it

完形填空(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)

The Americans are desperate, and with good reason, they have successfully kept the U.S. economy in__21__ after the financial crisis, but the problem is far from over. Despite a moderate recovery, the lack of job creation is serious. Many U.S. leaders rightly see jobs as the key to their country’s __22__and avoiding a second dip. The lack of a solution is fast becoming a political one as the November elections approach. Recent __23__ to get tough with China are gaining momentum（势头）in various quarters. The charge that China is the __24__of the U.S.-led financial crisis in the West looks ridiculous in the East. But we should at least give it a proper response.

The logic goes like __25__: China is the cause of America’s cheap money, and cheap money is the cause of the crisis. This is like saying a kid is corrupt(挥霍无度) __26__ he has a rich father who makes his wild spending possible; to cure the kid’s problem, you have to rein in（鞭笞）the father. This is not a very good parallel. But the United States is spending the money it borrowed from China.

There is a big gap between cheap money and wild spending on one side and irresponsible lending on __27__. You can pay down your mortgage faster and spend only what you have left, or you can take out a second mortgage to have an expensive vacation and buy a new S.U.V. Many Americans  __28__ the latter path. But who is __29__? The banks? Yes! But China?

The West must recognize that its problem — and its solution — come from within. What China did or did not do did not create the financial crisis. What China will do or not do would not solve their problems. But China can help and it is willing. And you are not going to get it by getting __30__ with China.

21. A. time          B. balance          C. calm          D. result

22. A. recovery       B. crisis            C. door          D. election

23. A. talks          B. calls             C. speaking      D. saying

24. A. reason         B. source           C. cause         D. supply

25. A. it             B. that             C. this           D. which

26. A. because        B. so              C. why           D. but

27. A. another        B. other            C. others         D. the other

28. A. picked up      B. selected          C. chose          D. elected

29. A. blame         B. blamed           C. blaming       D. to blame

30. A. along          B. away            C. tough          D. well

I. Putting Ideas into Words （EL991-1A ） Here’s a challenge: what if writing could be more than just throwing words on a page?

High School as a Social Laboratory: An Introduction to Sociology （SO902-3B） In this class, we’ll learn about broad sociological theories, but we’ll discuss those theories in relation to what sociologists have done before studying American high schools and youngsters．We’ll explore the issues such as gender, race, class, and violence in society at large, and the ways in which American high schools reflect those social issues．We’ll watch films and documentaries, such as “Mean Girls” and “Bowling for Columbine”, that make these connections, and you’ll write papers making these connections for yourself based on your own experiences．
C	D
II.
