How to Beat On-line Credit-card Thieves
The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale on an illegal web site.
Web sites offering cheap services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.
The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.
Computer hackers（黑客） have broken down security（安全） systems raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago, 25,000 customers of CD Universe, and on-line music retailer（批发商）, were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157,828 to get back the information.
Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Master-card is working on plans for Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
Ask about your credit-firm’s on-line rules. Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.
And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the web site offers advanced secure system. If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The web site address may also start https://--- the extra “s” stands for secure.
If you still have any doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.
Keep your password safe: Most on-line sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your password with care.

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions . It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away . The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make a decision—a matter of life or death .
Animals’ ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning” , which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species —animals of the same kind—as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning .
In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive .
40．The animal’s life will come to an end___________.
A．if the animal makes a wrong decision B．if the animal plays a dangerous game
C．when the animal attacks its enemy D．when the animal runs too slowly
41．Very few species depend entirely on genetic
learning because____________.
A．each generation has its
own way of learning
B．their environments
change all the time
C．they can act reasonably
on their own
D．it takes their whole
life to learn
42．When the
environment doesn’t change much , ______________.
A．animals cannot act in a
right way
B．genetic learning is
less important for animals
C．individual learning
plays a less important role
D．animals cannot get over
problems on their on their own
43．Animals’ living
on generation after generation depends on__________.
A．their natural action
pattern with their own experience
B．the lessons they have
learnt during their lifetime
C．their experience in
particular environments
D．the knowledge passed on
by their parents

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力) .With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence(自信心),according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City .The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
44. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Children‘s reading difficulties.
B. Advantages of raising dogs.
C. Service in a public library.
D. A special reading program.
45. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______.
A. dogs are young children’s best friends.
B. children can play with dogs while reading.
C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children.
D. children and dogs understand each other.
46. By saying“The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library_____.
A .uses dogs to attract children B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA
C. has opened a children’s department. D. has decided to train some dogs.
47. A “pawgraphed” book is most probably _____.
A. a book used in Saturday classes. B. a book written by the children.
C. a prize for the children D. a gift from parents.

Anthrax (炭疽) is a naturally occurring disease of plant-eating animals caused by the anthrax bacillus (杆菌)．It is an illness which has been recognized since ancient times．Anthrax Is common essentially in all areas where livestock (=animals kept on a farm, such as sheep and cattle) are raised．Intensive livestock immunization (免疫) programs have greatly reduced the occurrence of the disease among both animals and humans in much of the world．However, outbreaks occurred during the mid-1990’s in Haiti and the former Soviet Union．
Anthrax bacteria are named for the Greek word for coal-anthrax, because they cause coal-black injury when they infect the skin．Anthrax spores (孢子) can remain viable for several decades (a period of ten years) under suitable environmental conditions; thus, absence of cases does not equate to absence of risk．Humans can contract (=to get to have an illness) anthrax in three ways: through cuts or breaks in the skin resulting from contact with an infected animal, from breathing anthrax sores or eating infected meat．
One day in September, 2001, a 7-month-old son of an ABC producer in Manhattan spent time at the network offices．He developed a rash, and was hospitalized with an unknown illness soon after the visit．He was later diagnosed (诊断) anthrax．This was the beginning of the anthrax scare (=a sudden feeling of fear) created by terrorists throughout the USA and the rest of the world．
52．Where does anthrax come from?
A．Human beings． B．Wild animals．
C．Animals fed on plants． D．The ABC producer．
53．What does the underlined word “viable” mean?
A．Being able to be seen． B．Dead．
C．Being of great value． D．Alive
54．What will happen if livestock receive the immunization against anthrax?
A．There will be no anthrax disease in the world．
B．The occurrence of anthrax can be reduced among both animals and humans．
C．Anthrax can be prevented from occurring among animals．
D．Anthrax can be prevented from spreading among humans．
55．We can infer from the passage that _____．
A．the international terrorists might have scared the baby on purpose
B．people will never suffer from anthrax if they don’t eat the infected meat
C．the son of an ABC producer might have touched some infected meat
D．the son of an ABC producer might have breathed the anthrax spores

Hello, everyone!
I’m very pleased to know Beijing will hold the 2008 Olympics. This means both challenges to China and opportunities for all of us. As we all know, this is the first time we have won the chance to hold such important international games. So we must try our best to show the whole world that China is not only large in size but also strong in every field. By then we will be the right ages to be volunteers. Surely we will try our best to help the friends from all over the world and there is no doubt that they will have a good stay in China. Now it’s high time that we studied hard and got well- prepared.
That’s all. Thank you!
