There is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster than others and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.

That product is foreign words.

Gairaigo — words that come from outside － have been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers.

But in the last few years the trickle (涓涓流水) of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional Japanese.

“The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new,”says University Lecturer and Writer Takashi Saito.”By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media to pick up.”

“Experts often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers,” said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute.”Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese.”

Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saito’s Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers’ shelves.

“We were expecting to sell the books to young people,” said the writer, ”but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of Japanese.”

What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms?

A. The ideas expressed in foreign words sound new.

B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements.

C. Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand.

D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.

In the opinion of Takashi Saito, Japanese people ______.

A. are good at learning foreign languages B. are willing to learn about new things

C. trust the media D. respect experts

Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words?

A. The media and government papers. B. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.

C. The interest of young Japanese. D. Foreign products and experts.

The book Japanese to Be Read Aloud ______.

A.sells very well in Japan

B.is supported by the government

C.is questioned by the old generation

D.causes misunderstanding among the readers

The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all aroud you and that it proves down upon you．Air pressure is a wonderful force．When you swim underwater, you can feel water push down your body．The air all around you does the same．However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this ．The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere．This layer surrounds the Earth , extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface．

The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home．But make sure that you are supervised , because you will need to use matches．Now for the experiment！

What you need

·A hard-boiled egg without the shell

·A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg

·A piece of paper

·A match

Metheod

1) Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle．

2) Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle．

3) Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle．

4) Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle．

Result

Astonishingly,the egg will be sucked into the bottle．Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment．But be careful when you handle matches．

Why it happened

As the paper burns,it needs oxyen and uses up the oxygen(air) in the bottle．The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle,so no more air can get inside ．This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle．The air pressure must equalize,so more air from outside must enter the bottle．The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle!The proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it．

When you do the experiment, why need you a person beside you?

A．You couldn’t place the egg on the bottle by yourself．

B．The egg needs to be shelled．

C．You need to use matches．

D．The bottle can’t sit firmly on the desk．

The purpose of doing this experiment is to prove ______．

A．air pressure is a wonderful force

B．water can push down your body when you swim underwater

C．the air pressure is not equalized around us

D．the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere

How did the egg put into the bottle？

A．The oxygen inside the bottle suckde the egg in．

B．It became solt without the shell．

C．The neck of the bottle was wide enough．

D．The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle．

The passage is ______．

A．an experiment report B．a scientific story

C．a research report D．an interesting novel

Many years ago, Dad worked as a farmhand (农场工人). At that time, he had a horse. Every Saturday he __31 to the town after dinner and spent a few hours on social 32 with other farmhands, such as drinking, chatting, and playing cards in the café. On Saturday evenings, the café was 33 because many farmhands were there. Before midnight Dad returned home on his horse, quite satisfied with his 34 . In his words, he 35 thought of changing his job.

They may be just passing your office, computer bag slung (悬挂) over one shoulder. Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.

Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.

Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密）them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely downloaded from the Internet.

The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.

Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of measures to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated (激活) in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.

Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.

Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.

Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.
