She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security （安全）. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.IntroductionA lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never founDYou can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.Basic SecurityDo not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles （车座）.LocksGet a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.MarkingSecurity marking your bike can act a deterrent to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.RegistrationThere are a number of companies who will security mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.FinallyKeep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.56Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?ALocks.BMarking.CRegistration.DBasic Security.57The underlined phrase “act as a deterrent to a thief” means _.Ahelp you recognize your bikeBhelp the police find your bicycleCstop someone stealing your bicycleDstop you worrying about your bike58The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle _.Ain the bike shop and your computerBin the police station and a security companyCin a security company and your universityDby yourself and in a security company59The main purpose of this article is _.Ato tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolenBto suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safeCto give you advice on where to buy a good lockDto say why you shouldnt keep your bicycle in a quiet placeBProfessor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact （互动） these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals （个体） and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to- person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say thats a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated （孤立） us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people at the same time!60The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people _.Astick to their own ways no matter what other people sayBhave the rights and freedom to do things of their own interestCdo things in their own ways and express opinions different from other peopleDare able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people61According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?ANetworks.BFriends.CPhones.DParents.62It can be inferred from the Pew study that _.Apeople have been separated from each other by using computersBthe Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonelyCthe Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communicationDa lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing63Which would be the best title for this passage?AWere Alone on the Internet.BWere Communicating on the Internet.CWere Alone Together on the Internet.DWere in the Imaginary World of the Internet.CExperience the newly opened Grand Canyon （大峡谷） West Skywalk in Colorado.

My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school walking on my own!When the Great Depression （大萧条） hit, my mom lost her joBThen I left school to support the b
