21、   The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is one of the best books I have read in years. This is a page turnerwith complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures.

On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story.

Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption, and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.

The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir's childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir's voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attracted by Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world.

I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs. For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish.

【1】The underlined words "a page turner" probably mean that the book is________.

A．abstract

B．difficult

C．ridiculous

D．exciting

【2】The greatest charm of The Kite Runner lies in________.

A．the beauty of language

B．the history of the Taliban

C．the culture of immigrants

D．the reflection of humanity

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A．The story is set in the September 11, 2001 attacks in America.

B．The author always feels sympathy for the main character, Amir.

C．The story can provide inspiration for readers of various cultures.

D．The secret helped Amir to grow up in a privileged place in society.

【4】What type of writing is the passage?

A．A review of a book.

B．An introduction to a book

C．A summary of a book.

D．An advertisement of a book.

23、   Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot(行李箱).

Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench(扳手)and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”

His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

24、Every year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there’s spyware on their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.

Don’t fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here’s how.

● Clean Your Computer and Smartphone

Before you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus(反病毒程序)program and taking the time to clear out any spy — or malware(恶意软件)that may have already infected your system. These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.

● Secure Your WiFi

It’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection —that’s why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.

● Use passwords

What you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.

● Check the shopping security

Take care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.

Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.

Don’t store information on any store’s website. It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked(非法侵入).

【1】This passage is mainly about ___________.

A．ways of avoiding identity theft

B．tips of freeing computers from viruses

C．measures to ensure network security

D．steps to keep track of passwords

【2】To put new security measures into place, we need to ___________.

A．clear out everything in the system

B．make a random selection of network

C．get rid of potential spyware

D．refresh the infected system

【3】According to the passage, the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be caused by _______.

A．the applications of antivirus programs

B．the practice of using public WiFi

C．the difficult access to passwords

D．the separate credit card for online shopping
