33、essful way of training the elephant.CImprove Cloud SecuritySensitive customer data has constantly been found exposed on cloud servers without password protection. To ease the problem, database software makers have been trying to make security easier for cloud database managers. At the Enigma Confere

34、nce in San Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB, will describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud.Field level encryption works by scramblinqdata before its sent to a cloud database and rearranging it in order when t

35、he data is needed for use. The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it.MongoDBs new feature comes as more and more companies move user data to cloud servers, rather than runtheir own costly data centers. It was predicted that cloud computing

36、would be a $214 billion industry by the end of 2019. That would be up more than 17% from 2018, when it was $182 billion.Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security consequences. Many companies have left countless databases exposed, revealing personal data. A

37、 database containing details about who lives in 80 million US households was left unprotected in 2019, just like the data on Facebook users.Database managers want to store their data in an unreadable form, but they also want to be able to find specific pieces of information in the database with a si

38、mple search term. For example, someone might want to look up health care patients by their Social Security numbers, even if those numbers are stored as random characters. To make this possible, field level encryption lets database managers encrypt a search term on their machine and send it to the da

39、tabase as a query. The database matches the encrypted version of the search term with the record ifs storing and then sends it back to you.This approach only works with specific kinds of data. For example, field level encryption isnt useful fbr long text entries, like notes in a patients medical cha

40、rt, because you cant search fbr individual words.Still, for data like account numbers, passwords and government ID numbers, field level encryption protects data and maintains a usable database.Most importantly, White said, its simple to set up. Database managers turn it on with a one-time configurat

41、ion change when they set up the database. Thats really powerful,“ he said in an interview.8. The underlined word “scrambling in paragraph 2 probably meansA. mixingB. collectingC. hidingD. storing9. What can field level encryption do?A Secure the safety of Internet pages.B. Protect files with a uniqu

42、e style of storage.C. Stop bad guys from accessing the database.D. Enable companies to store files on the cloud.10. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Companies should move user data to cloud servers.B. Cloud computing achieved a 17% increase in 2019.C. Companies may be unaware of the risks of

43、 the cloud.D. No companies were willing to run their own data centers.11. The author wrote the passage mainly toA. present some factsB. offer security adviceC. introduce a techniqueD. recommend a productMigraine（偏头痛）is a disease that has a number of symptoms, including head pain that can stick aroun

44、d from four hours to several days. While migraines can happen partly because of genetic problems, attacks may happen by chance, set off by a cause in the environment.One common cause is food, and some common dietary causes include alcohol, salt, sugar, chocolate, and caffeine. But there are many oth

45、ers, and scientists continue to identify more. Last year, for instance, a Brazilian study found that watermelons brought on a headache within minutes in about 30 percent of the participants.Some new researches are looking at which foods and what kinds of diets can prevent or lessen migraines. A new

46、study published last year by a team of researchers found that a diet higher in fish oils rather than vegetable oils helped people ease their headaches. In the study, those on a diet lower in vegetable oil and higher in fatty fish had a 30 to 40 percent reduction in total headache hours per day, seri

47、ous headache hours per day, and overall headache days per month compared to the control group.Tanya Kamka had suffered weekly migraines for most of her life. Then, in her 50s, she joined the NIH diet experiment and increased her intake of fish. After only a few months,“ havent had a migraine, not ev

48、en a mild one, in over two years. she says.For others, the solution comes from plants, not fish. A 60-year-old man joined a study on the food-migraine link and turned to a diet, which includes a lot of dark, leafy greens. After two months he was experiencing only one migraine a month instead of the 18 to 24 a month hed suffered before.Clearly, people with migraines react to food in very different ways. What works for one person may not work for another.12
