5、Summers’ “intrinsic(本身的)difference” theory is biased(偏见)against women. He can’t be president because he has lost the support of many female, and male students.

       Summers should have realized the theory was controversial before he opened his mouth. As the leader of perhaps the world’s foremost research university, he should have known his opinions carry weight . If he didn’t realize that ,how could he be a leader of so many elites(精英)?

       Judging from what Summers has done over the past five years, he works like a CEO. But university presidents are not corporate CEOs. A CEO has the authority to implement a new agenda by ordering subordinates around-and firing those who resist .But in a university, bold vision is not enough .You have to build consensus(共识). Obviously Summers didn’t achieve that.

       The turbulent five years reign of Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was brought to a close last week when he said he would resign in three months.

       He embattled president was pressured in resignation, after controversy began last January.

       Lawrence angered many after stating at an academic conference that “intrinsic difference” between men and women might help explain why fewer women than men reach top-level careers in math and science. Amid international attention, he was accused of discrimination against women.

       However ,Summers also served Harvard with extraordinary vision and vitality(活力). He increased access to a Harvard with education with financial aid, boosted science programs ,and diversified the school’s faculty.

       The controversy is: Should Summers-a person with bold and sometimes offensive opinions, who at the same time brings something good to Harvard-be fined?

1.In Summers’ opinion,         .

       A.women are better than men in math and science

       B.women are equal to men in math and science

       C.fewer women are equal to men in math and science

       D.women and men are both good in math and science

2.From the passage, we can infer that         .

       A.a university president and a CEO have the same authority

       B.a university president should have bold vision and the same opinions with others

       C.a university president can fire anyone who resists

       D.a university president can order his or her subordinates to carry out a new agenda

4、Latin cultures don’t have formal or traditional ceremonies surrounding gift giving .However, business relationships are developed as personal relationships. And in order to build a strong and lasting friendship, gifts are a thoughtful way to make a good first impression, and socially continue showing generosity, appreciation, and kindness.

       Because relationships become personal, find out about your Brazilian counterpart or client’s lifestyle. Then using these details, select gifts that will reflect how important this person is . Always have the gift wrapped in a quality paper ,as this is a subtle detail that can express the value of the friendship. If you’re a man giving a business gift to a female, in order for the gift not to be construed as a romantic overture, tell her you’re delivering the gift to her on behalf of your wife, or your secretary.

       Small electronic items are often appreciated .Good choices include scientific calculators, electronic address books , pocket CD players and pocket radios. Tapes and CDs of popular entertainers make prized gifts. Inexpensive cameras and name-brand pens can also be good choices. When invited to a home bring candy, a fine wine, champagne, or scotch .Bring small gifts for any children who may be present .Good choices can include university and sports team T-shirts.

       Symbolism in this culture will influence the choices you make for gifts and wrapping paper. Black or purple paper isn’t used because it’s used during Holy Week. Items associated with death or funerals that shouldn’t be used include handkerchiefs, and yellow, red or white flowers. Gifts of knives, scissors ,or letter openers are interpreted as the severing of a close bond. Avoid practical gifts, since they may be perceived as too personal. For example ,do not give items such as wallets ,key chains ,ties ,sunglasses, jewelry and perfume.

3、Typing your password or credit card number into a computer is a moment’s work. But if you think your personal details disappear as soon as you hit the Return key, think again: they can sit on the computer’s hard disk for years waiting for a hacker to rip them off.

       As people spend more time on the web and hackers become more sophisticated, the dangers of storing personal information on computers are growing by the day, security experts say. There are some safeguards, such as never allowing your computer to store your passwords. But even that is no guarantee of security.

       When you type in a password ,it is stored in random access memory(RAM), where it is held temporarily until other data overwrites it or the computer is switched off.

       But every so often ,the computer copies the contents of its RAM onto hard disk ,where it is easy prey for a hacker ,who can read it directly or design a worm to e-mail it back. The longer sensitive data stays in RAM ,the more likely it is to be copied onto the disk ,where it stays until it is overwritten—which might not happen for years.

       Tal Garfinkel and colleagues from Stanford University have created a software tool which simulates the workings of a complete computer system. Within the simulation, sensitive data can be tagged and then tracked as it passes through the system. Next ,Garfinkel and his team simulated computers running common software that regularly handles passwords or confidential personal information, such as Internet Explorer ,the Windows login script and Apache server software.

       In a paper to be presented, they conclude that the programs took virtually no measures to limit the length of time the information is retained .Some of the tested software even copied the sensitive information ,apparently without restraint.

       This is the first time anyone has tried to measure the extent of this problem, says Rebecca Wright, a security expert at Stevens Institute of Technology. Garfinkel hopes the results will arouse software developers to take action.

       C.Your password will be safe if you have some safeguards.

       D.Never allowing your computer to store your passwords will be safe.

2.Which of the following is NOT the reason for the unsafely of a password?

       A.It will be stored in RAM.

       B.It will be copied onto hard disk.

       C.It might not be overwritten.

       D.It will disappear as soon as you hit the return key.

3.Tal Garfinkel and his team measured the extent of security of        .

       A.simulating the working of a complete computer system

       B.tagging sensitive data

       C.passing through the system
