A
My 9-year-old son spends a lot of time on the computer surfing the Internet and sending instant messages to his friends.But I worry about him getting into trouble with strangers online.What can I do to protect him?
—Brian
Simple surfing and instant messaging with friends are common activities for kids—and generally safe,if you’ve discussed some rules of use with them.Chatting with strangers,however,may be a different story.Although there’s no way to know the actual risk,the FBI (联邦调查局) warns that kids whose Internet activity isn’t monitored are most at the risk of being exploited (利用).
Keep the computer in a common room in the house rather than in your son’s bedroom.Take an interest in the sites your son is visiting and the people with whom he is chatting.Warn him never to give out his personal information (his phone number,name,address,school name,etc.),agree to meet in-person anyone he meets in a chat room,or share any photographs.
Urge your son to introduce you to any new“friends” he meets online and to tell you if he ever feels uncomfortable about conversations that take place.Most importantly,talk to him about the dangers of interacting with strangers online and remind him that people online often don’t tell the truth.The FBI also recommends that parents maintain access to young kids’ online accounts and often check their email.
Finally,you can use parental controls offered by your Internet service provider or through blocking and filtering (过滤) software.
1.How can the parents protect their children from strangers online?
A.Keep the computer in their children’s bedroom.
B.Allow children to give out their personal information.

2.What does the FBI suggest?
A.Forbid the children to chat online.
B.Avoid checking the children’s email.
C.Monitor the children’s online accounts.
D.Provide comfortable family environment.

A.answer how to protect children from strangers online
B.describe children’s problems on making friends online
C.advise parents to prevent children from cheating online
D.stress the importance of keeping children’s online safety

Letter One
Dear Editor,
After I finish my homework,I often go online and chat with my friends.Sometimes I play computer games.But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer.Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and computer games harm children.Once I went to a net bar (网吧) to play games after school.But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school.I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy.I feel bad about it.However,I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time.I really want my parents to understand that.Do foreign parents do the same to their children?Please help me.
Li Ping,Beijing
Letter Two
Dear Li Ping,
I don’t think it’s strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad.Foreign parents will do the same as your parents!They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time,or like your parents,they don’t want their children to play computer games.
Talk to your parents and be honest to them,I think.Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you.It’s never good to do things behind your parents.They aren’t fools as you think sometimes!Our parents seem to know what is the best for us.
Remember:to be honest is the best way.?
Good luck,
Rebecca

You don’t need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives,such as the way we shop.Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.
Try it on,virtually.Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses?You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you — use the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of eyewear you’re checking out on a picture of your face.But what if you want to buy something bigger?Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s motion tracking camera,you can cover clothes on your screen body.You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect,custom fit.Everyone’s body is shaped differently.To get a perfect fit,you sometimes have to get your clothes changed.But by using 3D scanning technology,all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using high-tech to get the most accurate measurements,so they can make special clothes just for you.
High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters.High-tech shopping carts could,in time,be a common sight in malls and supermarkets.Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test.The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道),controlled merely by your movement and your voice.In China,a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores’ aisles.
In the United States,several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.While it’s great not having to line up at a checkout counter,we wouldn’t mind it if the store used Toshiba’s new Object Recognition Scanner.The machine identifies a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color,even if it has no bar code.
8.According to Paragraph 2,the eBay Fashion iPhone app can .?
A.only make pictures of our faces
B.help us sell more clothes online
C.create a virtual dressing room for us
D.choose suitable eyeglasses for us

B.High-tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets.
C.“Scan It” cannot be used by buyers themselves.
D.The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true.
11.This passage mainly talks about .?
A.a new time-traveling machine
B.the influence of new technologies
C.some inventions to change habits
D.the ways for future shopping
D
Do you shop online with websites like Taobao?The money you pay doesn’t go directly to the seller.Instead,it goes through Alipay,which keeps your money for a while.After you receive your goods and click the “confirm receipt” button,Alipay then gives the money to the seller.
The process is called “third party online payment”.There is a transfer station,or a third account,between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe.Buyers don’t need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing.Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.
These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay,Tenpay and Yeepay.Among them,Alipay is the biggest in China.It has more than 270 million active users,according to Xinhua.
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system,banks are not very happy.That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks.Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money.Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.
But WeChat payment is not the same.WeChat doesn’t have its own account.When paying through WeChat,the buyers’ money goes directly to the sellers.That’s why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out “red envelopes” or gift money to their friends on WeChat.
Whether Alipay or WeChat payment,they are all trying to attract more users and make online shopping easier.These two companies are also promoting payments through fingerprints.New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too.
12.Paragraph 2 mainly wants to introduce how .?
A.Alipay works
B.to run a Taobao shop
C.to make your money safe
D.to make money by using Alipay
13.According to the passage,we can imagine in the future.?
A.real money will not be used
B.Alipay will take the place of banks
C.payment through fingerprints will be popular
D.third party online payment is sure to avoid all the risks in trade
14.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Some ways to pay in our daily life.
B.The advantage of third party online payment.
C.Using new technologies to do the shopping online.
D.It is convenient to do the shopping online using Alipay and WeChat.
15.How many ways to pay are mentioned in the passage?
A.2 B.3 C.4 D.5

Last weekend,I went to Mark’s new house nearby a forest for a little get-together.After lunch when I was talking with him and his wife Cody,he asked me,“Hey Thoran,have you ever been to a secret spot?” Before I could even finish saying no,Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on.And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera,a fishing net and a plastic bucket(桶).
We walked through the forest along a path by a small river.Breathing the fresh air,we three talked and laughed all the way.
“Hey!What are you guys doing?” Someone suddenly shouted from behind.Mark and Cody’s eyes immediately widened,and without a word they started running.I had no choice but to follow them,getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud.We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down.I stopped to catch my breath and asked,“Who was that?”
Mark replied,“The most annoying neighbor ever.If he catches up with us,there’s no telling what could happen.He is always making fun of us.I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes.Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes.“Wow!Amazing!” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement.The lake was large and the water was deep and blue,looking so peaceful with tall trees around it.

Looking around,we saw a boat floating by the shore.“How about going boating?” Mark asked.“Good idea.” I agreed.I was excited to find so many fishes in the lake.Before I could say a word,Mark had cast the fishing net into the water.“Look this way.Let me take a photo of you two.” Cody said,taking out the camera.Hearing that,I quickly approached Mark.But all of a sudden I lost my balance and fell into the water.
“Help!Help!Help!” I was so frightened and cried for help.However,none of us could swim.Mark and Cody tried to pull me up from the water but failed.Struggling in the water,I was almost exhausted when I felt myself lifted by someone.It was Mark’s neighbor,who followed us there and saw what had happened.Without hesitation,he jumped into the water and I was saved.
