A There once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people. He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his shop to complete his daily routine. However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didnt have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch. One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop. The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. As planned, the shopkeeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch. Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan. The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shopkeeper felt that he had found the right man.56. What is the problem for the shopkeeper? A. Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day. B. He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch. C. He was too busy to have lunch every day. D. He couldnt find a person to work at the shop.57. Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.? A. Because he thought he would be asked to keep the shop. B. Because the shopkeeper invited him to lunch then. C. Because the shop was closed at that time. D. Because he want to buy cheap things then.58. When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found _. A. everything in his shop was stolen B. the thief became the new owner of the shop C. there was a fighting in his shop D. the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop59. From the passage, we can infer that _. A. once a thief, he will always be a thief B. an honest man will be responsible for his action C. you cant believe in a dishonest man forever D. trust can change a thief into an honest man B Is it wrong to use someone elses wireless (wi-fi) connection? Just recently a man was arrested (逮捕) for doing just that. At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop and using an unsecured（无安全保护措施的）wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic? Listen to the following different views on it. For a start, if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will affect your speed of access or download limit. Also, its bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally, just imagine this: what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity? I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.(罪犯) - by Sandra WilkinsBasically if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, whats the problem? Its just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book, or watching someone elses firework display. Its not stealing. Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault if someone else uses it. Just as you wouldnt leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open. By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it. Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器). And finally, havent the police got more important crimes to solve? Theyre always saying how they havent got the manpower to solve real issues. But this is just ridiculous. - by James Hoarley60. Why was the man mentioned in the first paragraph arrested? A. For stealing someones laptop. B. For surfing the Net in the street.C. For destroying others wireless connection D.

Internet service should be improved B. it is hard to secure ones wireless connection C. people should leave their wireless connection open D. using others Internet service is not stealing at all63. What would be the best title for the text? A. Wireless connection. B. Wireless worries C. Internet service D. Internet users CMany years ago, my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a serious heart disease. He was put on permanent disability, but he still wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local childrens hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He would talk to them and play with them and do arts with them. One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. I dont know the name of the disease, but I do know that it was very sad for a girl around eight or nine years old. She couldnt do anything, and she was very depressed.
