【题目】People have problems

People have to remember passwords for everything, from their email to online banking and internet shopping. 1 A leaked Yahoo database showed that the most popular passwords were still “123456” and “password”.2

These people are trying to make life easy for themselves. 3 Hackers(黑客) have gotten very good at what they do, with more capable tools than ever, and those tools can work so well because we are still really bad at choosing and remembering passwords.

Researchers from the UK’s Lancaster University, as well as the Peking and Fujian Normal universities in China, tested passwords. 4 They guessed passwords for more than 73 percent of ordinary users, accounts. Hackers could even guess a third of the harder passwords in 100 tries, reported the Daily Mail.

According to researchers from Bloomberg Businessweek, using upper and lower cases(大小写) in your password is a good way to make is safer. Adding numbers and/or symbols to your password can also be of great help. Choose a nine-letter password that includes numbers and/or symbols; this would take a hacker’s computer hundreds of years to break, Also, never use personal information as a password. 5 Experts suggest that a user should change his or her password every 90 days to keep hackers guessing.

A. Passwords were short.

B. Use different passwords for different accounts.

C. A password must be difficult to be guessed by others.

D. Many people used simple combinations of their name, age or birthday.

E. They tried to guess passwords based on people’s personal information.

F. But they are also making it easy for hackers to break into their accounts.

G. So it’s easy to understand why many of us would pick something simple and easy for our passwords.

【题目】Recently, online hike-sharing has become the new favorite in China. In major cities, bikes in, yellow, orange, blue, white and green, can be seen almost everywhere on the street. It seems that these bikes appeared suddenly, adding a new beautiful scenery to Chinese cities.

Both the market and the public welcome online bike-sharing, but is it really a promising business? Well, it depends. After all, online bike-sharing platforms can never get away with huge operating cost and uncertain government policy.

Some theorists might say that online bike-sharing platforms can earn a fortune simply through deposit. Since users will always need to rent bikes, their deposit will always be kept to online bike-sharing platforms.

However,although online bike-sharing platforms may be able to use the deposit for other purposes at the primary stage, they will have to set up a special account, so that the deposit shall be used specially for its designated (指定的) purpose. As the market gets increasingly mature, they will have to do so whether to be responsible for users or in consideration of possible government regulations.

Now that online hike-sharing platforms can,t make profit through deposit,how can they become profitable as fiercer market unfolds? Although Hu Weiwei, CEO of Mobike, stated in an article that she would take Mobike as charitable(慈善的) project if she failed, running a startup is absolutely different from managing a charity organization. After all , she has to pay back investors’ billions of investment(投资).

To make profit, online bike-sharing platforms might have toincrease rent fee for each trip, just as Didi did

From this aspect, it might be a really good business. If we consider full screen ads fee, recommendation fee for business owners, etc. , its annual income might reach at least RMB 15 billion. If we consider the huge operation cost, including bike repairs,bikes’ service life and labor cost, there might not be much net profit left. After all, offline operation cost has always been an unbearable burden for such internet plus mode-based startups.

1How does the author feel about the future of online bike-sharing platforms?

A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful.

C. Hopeful. D. Secure.

2How do some theorists think online bike-sharing platforms can make money?

A. Through advertisements. B. Through services.

C. Through deposit. D. Through investment.

3How should deposit be dealt with when the market is mature according to the author?

A. Used for other purposes. B. Kept in a special account.

C. Used for charity. D. Left aside to the users.

4What does the underlined word “unfolds” mean in the passage?

A. Shrinks. B. Spreads. C. Shows. D. Develops.

The American state of Colorado is considering a ban on smartphones for children younger than 13.
A Denver-based doctor - and father - is leading the effort. Tim Farnum is the founder of a group called ‘Parents Against Underage Smartphones.' His proposal would ban sales of smartphones to children under the age of 13. It would also ban sales to anyone who wishes to buy such a device for anyone younger than 13. The measure would also require sellers of smartphones to provide proof to the state government that they have asked buyers if the phone is for anyone under 13.
The measure now needs about 300,000 signatures in order to appear on Colorado's statewide ballot (投票权)next year. If it makes the ballot and is approved by voters, Colorado would become the first state to have such a ban.
Tim Farnum said he decided to push for the measure after watching his own children struggle with the mental effects of always having a smartphone around. "They would get the phones and lock themselves in the room and change who they were," he told The Coloradoan newspaper.
State Senator John Kefalas, a Democrat, said he understands the reasoning behind the proposed law. However, he told The Coloradoan that a child's smartphone usage is a "family matter" and not something the government should decide. "Ultimately, this comes down to parenting,” he said, “making sure their kids are not putting themselves at risk.”
Last year, the AAP (the American Academy of Pediatrics) released guidelines for media use by children. The group advised parents to limit time spent watching videos to no more than one hour a day of high-quality programming until age 6. After that, it said, parents should set reasonable time limits for their children and make sure electronic devices do not take time away from sleep or exercise.

A.It will be passed by the state of Colorado next year

(2)What's the driving force of Tim Farnum's proposal?

C.Smartphones' harm to children's health
D.The guidelines released by the AAp.
(3)What's the attitude of John Kefalas toward Tim Farnum's proposal?

D.Unconcerned
