阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

　　When I was 11 years old and living under the Israeli occupation, I took a chance and after curfew(宵禁)I ran to visit my grandmother who lived two blocks away from us．On the road, I had to hide under a truck to avoid soldiers coming my way．For 20 minutes I lay there in utter fear watching their boots walk back and forth in front of the truck．My heart was pounding so fast and loud that I was afraid one of the soldiers would hear it and I would be killed instantly．

　　To calm myself, I started begging God to take mercy on me and save me from these men and their guns．I remembered the words of my mother after Israeli soldiers beat my father．She told us to put our fear and anger aside and pray for the poor soldiers, who were also afraid because they were away from their homes in Israel．

　　I began to feel bad for the soldiers．I wondered：Where do they sleep and are they afraid of little children like me? What kind of food do they eat? Do they have big or small families? My fear eased a bit as I pictured the soldiers as people I knew．Although my 20 minutes under the truck seemed like an eternity, I believe that shedding my fear literally saved my life．

　　Thirty－six years later I look around and see another kind of devastation created by fear．After Sept．11, the Arab and Muslim community segregated themselves because of the level of suspicion directed at them from others．Fear of association because of ethnicity led many to retreat www．gkxx．com within themselves and their community．They stopped socializing with non－Arab/Muslim colleagues and neighbors．Once again, we allow differences to separate us because of fear．

　　I believe it is fear we should be fighting not the “other” ．We all belong to the same human tribe; that kinship supersedes our differences．We are all soldiers patrolling the road, and we’ re all little children hiding under the truck．

A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking（搭便车）on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road．The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him．Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop．The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel（方向盘）!

The car started to move very slowly．The man looked at the road and saw a curve （拐弯处）coming his way．Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life．He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel．The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve．Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky car．Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town．In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky．

In our life, we will have a lot of time to feel low. If there’s one thing that ruins us, which   48  us from doing what we’re   49  capable of and prevents us from achieving our dreams, it is fear of   50 .

What if you had given up on   52  to talk, walk, read, ride a bike, or any other achievements before you were even five years old? How   53  would your life have turned out if you’d given up instead of    54  with them?

“Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft (the crime of stealing): a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.

The program allows users to display alerts (warning) on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.

Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version of the software, users can also send a spoken message.

The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a message saying, ‘You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.

In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”

The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely (远程地) switch to an alternative (可替换的) password immediately if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access (进入, 使用) details.

If a thief accesses the Internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the Internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.

Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.

Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.

1.The underlined expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” in Paragraph 2 can be understood as “_______”.

A．to give the thief an alert mind

B．to express the owners’ anger to the thief

C．to remind the thief of his conscience (良心)

D．to make the thief give up his mind

2.Different from other security software, Retriever can _______.

A．record the stealing process

B．help recognize the lost laptop

C．lock down the computer remotely

D．send a spoken message

3.One function of the program is that it allows the owner to _______ at a distance.

A．change some access details for switching on the laptop

B．turn on the laptop by using the original password

C．operate the laptop by means of an alternative password

D．erase the information kept in the stolen laptop

4.Which of the following can best sum up the main idea of the passage?

A．With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.

B．A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.

C．Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.

D．A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.

5.What does the word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．the alert message B．the computer

C．the program D．the laptop
