26、While there are still many people who don’t feel comfortable using a credit card to buy over the Internet, e-commerce is absolutely here to stay. If you take a few precautions, buying over the Internet can actually be safer than using your credit card in a restaurant.
Just as you should notice your surroundings and suspicious-looking people when withdrawing (提取) money from an ATM, you should know how to recognize the warning signs of Internet tricks and take steps to avoid being a victim (受害者) when shopping online. Here are some good tips to remember when shopping online:
Before submitting your personal information to a site, try to find out how the information may be used and whether it will be sold to or shared with other businesses. If you don’t like what you read, shop somewhere else.

Use a credit card, not a debit card (借记卡) for shopping on the Internet. Debit cards don’t have the same protection as credit cards.
Carefully review your credit card and bank statement each month for unknown charges and inform your credit card company or bank immediately if you notice any charges you didn’t know about.

27、 When you’re looking forward to taking a holiday in Egypt, you’re certainly not short of choices. The country has so many to see that you’ll probably not want to limit yourself to just one city.
Hurghada-A Water Sports Paradise
With 250 hotels ranking from comfortable 3-star hotels up to 5 - star accommodation, the main attraction of staying here is the activities in and on the warm waters. It has become an intemational centre for water sports, allowing visitors to take part in surfing, sailing and deep-sea fishing. The waters are also home to a huge variety of coral and fish, making it a dream spot for diving. If all that isn’t enough, Hurghada is home to some of the world’s finest underwater gardens.
Luxor-An Open-air Museum of Ancient History
For those with an interest in egyptian history, Luxor is an excellent place to stay and is built upon the site of the ancient egyptian city of Thebes. If you make this the base for your Egypt holiday, you’re basically staying in an open-air museum! The modern city of Luxor has the ruins of Karnak. Across the Nile lie many more monuments, temples and tombs including the Valley of the Kings and the Queens. The Nile sailing is necessary for those with an interest in the country’s ancient history.
Cairo-The Capital City
Finally, of course, there’s Cairo. It’s definitely a starting point for most of Egypt holidaymakers. Cairo offers an excellent mix of culture, art, cooking and sightseeing chances. With the famous pyramids, various temples and some fascinating museums, Cairo is a fantastic choice if you can come to the city.

28、 One feature of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to push into new territory (领域). Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-ignored factor that allows them to focus on the future: empathy(共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others is the force that moves business forward.
Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept a traditional workplace—competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people around.
Some may think they can achieve their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point-often sooner rather than later—everyone needs to depend on their relationships and build personal and professional connections. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us forward our goals.
Effectively understanding empathy involves regarding it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace. A biological principle(原理) known as co-evolution (共同进化)explains that the adaptation of an organism (有机体)is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, business and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations.
To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A significant part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and adopt another person’s point of view rather forcing your own.
【1】The author thinks that to achieve success, a company must ________.
A.frequently develop in new areas
B.always stay powerful enough
C.focus on its future development
D.have thought for its employees
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Never giving up is the key to success
B.Few business leaders experience success
C.Support from others helps people achieve goals
D.Competitive seldom exists in traditional workplaces.
【3】Which of the following is the best example of co-evolution principle?
A.The principal is good at judging teachers’ points of view.
B.The CEO allows the engineers full freedom to choose their working hours.
C.The boss ignores the fact that his employees’ salary is below the average.
D.The manager refuses to reduce production despite the falling market demand.
29、 TV, iPads, and computers are fun and sometimes educational, but many people think the technology is bad. My parents let me watch one or two shows or play a game on the iPad for an hour, but then make me find thing else to do, like read or draw a picture. They say that too much screen time won’t help me become smarter.
I think that it is okay to watch TV, but not too much. And some of my friends agree.
"A tiny bit of screen time is okay,” Mateo J., 7, said. "But too much of it is not good for your brain.”
Though my friends and I sometimes complain(抱怨), we think that it's good our parents limit our screen time.
“Our parents should limit our technology time because otherwise you might get carried away and not even know that you’ve stayed inside all day watching TV, " Naomi J.,9, said.
The American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP) used to recommend(推荐) that parents let kids have about two hours of screen time per day, but in 2016, they started recommending that parents of kids 6 and older decide for themselves how much time is okay, as long as the shows and games are appropriate. The AAP still says that kids 2-5 years old should have only about one hour of screen time per day, and kids under 2 no screen time at all. The AAP says that media you’ve stayed inside all day in all forms, including TV, computers, and smartphones, can affect how children feel, learn, think, and behave. However, parents are still the most important influence.
I think TV shows like Brain Games and Cupcake Wars are inspiring. I’ve even learned some magic while watching Brain Games! Video games can be educational, as some TV shows are about nature, and other shows have useful messages. But some games and shows have bad things in them, like smoking.
You can play outside instead of watching TV. Find other things to do. You don t have to be or screens all day.
【1】How much screen time do the author’s parents allow him every day?
A. No screen time. B. Half an hour.
C. Only one hour. D. About two hours
【2】What does Naomi J. think of his parents limiting his technology time?
A. It is acceptable. B. It is unfair to him.
C. It makes no sense. D. It goes against the law.
【3】Which of the following does the AAP probably agree with?
A. Two hours of screen time is good for kids 2-5 years old.
B. Kids who spend much time on screens often behave badly.
C. The younger the kids are, the less screen time they should have.
D. Parents should not encourage kids to watch TV or play video games.
【4】What does the author advise you to do?
A. Avoid playing video games. B. Learn from different games.
C. Form a good habit of learning. D. Cut down on your screen time.

In Times of Crists, We Need Classical Music
It’s still lying in front of me on my desk. The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒) , was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官) Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and 【1】 as it is now.”
But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团) ?
A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) 【2】 role right now.
We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary 【3】. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力) is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.
But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) 【4】 to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to 【5】 ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.
They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲) of well-being.” They are timeless compositions that 【6】 all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is why there is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to 【7】 people forward.
Classic music 【8】 our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It 【9】 to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知) of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.
【10】 to explain this powerful impact of music will always remain unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的) experiences can transform people.
