When asked what his father did fr a living, my sn explained t his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it’s O.K. because he gets paid t d it.”
He wasn’t wrng.
I’m a hacker (黑客), and I run a team f hackers. We spend ur days discvering ways t break int anything that can cnnect t the Internet, t access infrmatin never meant t be seen. If we get t it befre a criminal des, then we’ve dne ur jb.
I’m prud f what I d fr a living, just like dctrs r lawyers are prud f the wrk they d. In Hllywd, hackers are ften described as hded ( 戴 着 兜 帽 的 ) figures in dark rms invlved in illegal activity while tapping keybards. Actually, hackers are expert at prgramming and prblem-slving with cmputers. Cmpanies hire hackers t find their breaking pint befre criminals d.
Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity frm a crime is permissin. Drivers are free t drive, but they d nt have permissin t drive 150 miles per hur—that’s illegal. Bankers can transfer their clients’ mney, but if they d s withut permissin, that’s illegal.
Hacking isn’t an inherently( 本 质 上 )criminal activity. Smene wh invlves in the illegal use f hacking
shuld nt be called a “bad hacker” but a “threat actr”. Hackers are peple like me and my team at IBM—security prfessinals.
Hackers play a critical rle in keeping cmpanies and peple safe. At IBM, ne thing my team des is hack autnmus vehicles, planes and trains t make sure that every pssible security weakness is fund and crrected befre each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things culd happen withut us.

Children may learn new wrds better when they learn them in the cntext f ther wrds they are just learning
— accrding t a new research frm the University f East Anglia.
Researchers investigated hw 18-24-mnth-lds learn new wrds — in the cntext f wrds they already knw well and thse they are just learning. The findings help explain hw children learn new wrds and suggest a new way that parents and carers culd help bst language develpment.
Previus research suggests that when children hear a wrd they d nt knw and see an bject they have never seen in the cntext f sme bjects that they can already name, such as a ty r a ball, they guess that the new wrd refers t the new thing.
Dr. Larissa Samuelsn wanted t knw if the strength f a child's knwledge f familiar things—hw well they knw what "cars" r "balls" are, fr example — mattered fr learning new wrds and remembering them. They asked 82 children t take part in the study and carry ut tw experiments amng them. And then they gt sme really surprising findings.
"We had expected that a strnger knwledge f familiar wrds wuld be better fr learning new wrds, but we fund the ppsite was true." Dr Samuelsn said. "This new study suggests anther way we might be able t help bst children's ability t remember new wrd-bject links by teaching them in the cntext f ther things that they are just learning."
It seems cunterintuitive, but it is perhaps because the less well-knwn items dn't cmpete with the new wrds as much. If they learn new wrds in the cntext f playing with well-knwn items such as a ball r bk, they dn't prcess the new wrd as much.
What is the purpse f the new research?
T challenge the findings f previus studies.
T bserve the prcess f children's learning.
T better understand children's wrd learning.
T cmpare children's different learning styles.
What can be inferred frm Dr. Samuelsn's wrds?
Their findings are ut f expectatin.
Their research shuld fcus n children.
We shuld be mre patient with children.
We need t prvide guidance n learning.
What des the underlined wrd "cunterintuitive" mean in the last paragraph?
A. Persevering.B. Encuraging.C. Impractical.D. Unreasnable.
What des the text mainly tell us?
Less familiar wrds help children learn better.
Wrd-bject links cntribute t better learning.
New research finds the secrets f raising children.
Children learn better with the help f their parents.
D
A bat and a ball cst $1.10 in ttal. The bat csts $1.00 mre than the ball. Hw much des the ball cst? If yu answered 10 cents, yu’re nt alne. Mst peple give the same answer (the crrect answer is 5 cents.)
It’s an example f hw we ften rely n instinctive (直觉的) answers we feel are true. Peple give answers
that pp int their mind, says cgnitive (认知的) scientist Steven Slman. We dn’t spend much time reflecting and checking whether the answer is right r wrng.
The bat and ball questin helps explain why we ften believe in fake news. It is part f human nature t believe, says Slman. But “the trick with fake news is t knw t verify” — in ther wrds, t stp and questin what yu knw.
In ne experiment, Slman and a clleague invented a discvery called helium rain. They tld a grup f vlunteers abut it, but admitted they culd nt fully explain what it was. They then asked the vlunteers t rate their wn understanding f helium rain. Mst vlunteers rated themselves 1 ut f 7, meaning they did nt understand the cncept. The researchers then tld anther grup f vlunteers abut the discvery. This time, they said that scientists culd fully explain hw it wrks. When asked t rate their understanding, the vlunteers gave an average answer f 2. The scientists’ cnfidence gave the vlunteers an increased sense f their wn understanding. Accrding t Slman, studies shw that knwledge spreads like a virus.
Anther explanatin fr the spread f fake news is “mtivated reasning”, writes Adam Waytz, a management prfessr at the Kellgg Schl. We are naturally mre likely t believe things that cnfirm ur existing pinins.
S, in a wrld where misleading infrmatin is cmmn, is there a way t prtect urselves? “Thugh it’s impssible t verify everything that peple encunter, training peple t care abut fact-checking is imprtant, especially in nline cmmunities.” says Slman, “Develp an atmsphere where we shuld check things and nt just take them at face value. Verify it befre yu believe.”
The authr uses the example f the bat and ball questin t shw that .
peple ften frget skills that they learned at schl
there is ften mre than ne pssible answer t a questin
many peple give quick respnses withut thinking carefully
it is easy t make mistakes when ding math questins
In paragraph 3, what des the underlined wrd mean?
A. T make sure smething is true.B. T think abut smething fr lng.
C. T express an pinin abut smething. D. T change smething int a different ne.
Vlunteers thught they culd understand helium rain better when .
sme f the vlunteers explained it t them
Slman and his clleagues shwed them hw it wrks
they feel mre cnfident abut their wn ability
they believed that scientists fully understd it
What wuld be the best title fr the reading?
A. Helium Rain: A Great DiscveryB. Stp, Questin, and Check
C. Scial Media and Hw t Use ItD. Fake news and Hw t Spread It

Writing is enjyable and rewarding and it can be a hbby, a field f study, and even a career.
16 All it takes is a little creativity, sme strng ideas, a cmmand f yur written language, and an understanding f hw literature is typically structured. Fllw the tips belw, and sn yu’ll be ready t put yur wrk ut there fr the wrld t see.
17Reading helps yu develp a firm grasp n hw stries are structured. When yu read a bk, yu shuld split yur attentin between the actual events in the bk and the way the authr cmpsed that piece f literature. By reading, yu’re als studying hw published authrs use language in creative and inspiring ways and hw a skilled writer handles a certain subject.
Jurnals are a writer’s best friend. 18When yu’re ut in a bar, r riding public transprtatin, yu will witness all kinds f fascinating displays f humanity. If yu keep a detailed jurnal, it’s much easier t jump int writing during yur writing time. Yu’ll have ideas, cnversatins yu’ve verheard, r thughts that came t mind and yu may be able t turn thse items int stries r pems.
If readers recgnize the cnnectin between yur stry and smething frm everyday life, they will be mre likely t appreciate yur stry. 19Newspapers, news magazines, r news websites can prvide yu with a steady stream f stry ideas in the frm f news events.
If yu’ve been writing fr a while, chances are gd that yu keep getting drawn back t a particular style r tpic. Practicing a favrite type f writing is a great way t keep yurself mtivated, but make an effrt t vary yur writing exercises nce in a while. If yur writing prjects all sund similar, try a different style, r think f a tpic that culd never fit int yur usual writing prject. 20

N dubt anyne can be a creative writer.
They can help yu better yurself.

When I was ten years ld, I ften accmpanied my mther t the A& P Supermarket t buy gds. My mther had t shp very carefully, as the mney she earned culd nly raise the family.
One day, while we were waiting in line t pay fr the gds, a prmtinal ( 促 销 的 ) display fr the Wrld Bk“ Encyclpedia (百科全书)” caught my eye. It was beautifully cream-clred and all I culd think f while shpping was the bk. As my mther was cunting ut the mney, I smehw fund the curage t ask fr the encyclpedia. “Culd we get ne?” I said, shwing her the bk. Hwever, she didn't have enugh mney fr it. I fllwed her hme, upset.
The next Saturday, my mther gave me a dllar and sent me t the A&P Supermarket alne. Tw bttles f milk and a laf f bread--that’s what a dllar in 1957. I went straight t the Wrld Bk display. There was nly ne encyclpedia left, and I started t read it. A lt f time went by and I knew I had t leave, but I culdn’t bear t part with the bk. With n security guard in sight, I quickly put it inside my shirt and zipped (扣上拉链) up my jacket.
My heart beating rapidly, I headed t check ut. I paid the dllar fr the three items and was abut t leave when I felt a heavy tap n my shulder. “Yu stle smething. Yu will be searched.” a big security guard annunced. Frightened, I tk the bk ut frm the shirt and handed it ver. “An encyclpedia?” he asked, smewhat surprised. “Yes.” I whispered, trembling. “Why didn’t yu ask yur parents t buy it?” “I did, but they didn’t have the mney.” With a sigh, he let me leave.
