Cybersecurity: Navigating the Digital World Safely
In today's digital age, the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, especially for high school students like us. From online learning to social media, the internet offers endless opportunities. However, with these benefits, there also come risks. Cybersecurity is crucial in protecting our personal information and ensuring a safe online experience.
Passwords: Your First Line of Defense
A strong password is your first defense against cyber threats. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or names. Instead, create a complex password that includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Remember to update your passwords regularly and never share them with others.
Phishing: Be Alert!
Phishing scams are common and can be very convincing. These scammers often send emails or messages pretending to be from legitimate sources, asking for personal information or login credentials. Be cautious and verify the authenticity of the request before responding.
Public Wi-Fi: Use with Caution
Public Wi-Fi networks can be convenient, but they are also prime targets for hackers. Avoid conducting sensitive activities like online banking or accessing personal accounts on public Wi-Fi. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or your mobile data if necessary to keep your connection secure.
Social Media Privacy
Be mindful of what you share on social media. Adjust your privacy settings to control who can see your posts and personal information. Remember, once something is posted online, it can be difficult to remove completely.
21.What makes a strong password?
A.It includes only lowercase letters.
B. It's easily guessable, like a birthday.
C. It's short and simple.
D. It includes uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
22.What should you do if you receive a suspicious email asking for your personal information?
A.Immediately reply and provide the information.
B. Forward the email to your friends for advice.
C.Ignore it or verify the authenticity of the request.
D.Click on any links provided in the email to confirm your identity.
23.Why should you avoid conducting sensitive activities on public Wi-Fi?
A.It's slower than personal Wi-Fi.
B.It's expensive to use.
C.It's less secure and can be targeted by hackers.
D.It's not allowed in many places.
B
It's no secret that Auckland (the largest city in New Zealand) is a diverse city full of different cultures and new research has shown exactly how it and the rest of the country are changing.
More than 200 ethnic (种族的) groups are recorded as living here and Auckland is considered to have a wider variety of cultural groups than London or Sydney, with 40 percent of its population made up of different ethnicities.
The changing makeup of the country's population is featured in the latest NZ Geographic magazine, which focuses on ethnic diversity, age, wealth and attitudes, drawn from the latest census (人口普查) figures.
Massey University humanities and social sciences research director Professor Paul Spoonley said Auckland's multiculturalism today is way beyond what experts believed likely a few years ago.
Asian communities, in particular, in New Zealand have almost doubled since 2001, when 6. 6 percent of the Kiwi people(New Zealanders) were Asian. The proportion (比例) in Auckland was 14.6 percent. By 2006, 18.9 percent of the citizens in the city were Asian and today 23 percent identify themselves as Asian.
Nationally, the census showed 11.8 percent of the population was Asian-and that figure was increasing.
“The figures are higher than I would have thought a few years back,” Mr. Spoonley said. “And the healthcare system is attracting Asian workers.”
The article also showed that Kiwis had overall become more accepting of migrant communities and particularly of Asian peoples. That had been a hugely noticeable change, Mr. Spoonley said.
An Asian community leader Kai Luey in Auckland said there were a number of things that attracted Asians to New Zealand and particularly to Auckland. “The environment is clean, there's fresh air and there's safety of food...There's a good education system here in New Zealand...”
New Zealand was also considered to be a much safer place than many other countries, such as America, Canada and Australia.
24.What change has taken place in Auckland?
A.It has been developing at a higher speed. B.It has started to control its population.
C.It has begun to value ethnic cultures. D.It has become a more diverse city.
25.What is the proportion of Asians in Auckland now?
A.About onetenth. B.Below onefifth.
C.Nearly onefourth. D.More than twofifths.
26.Why do many Asians migrate to New Zealand according to Spoonley?
A.They need a better education. B.They want to live in a safe place.
C.They love the clean environment. D.They hope to get better healthcare.
27.What do most New Zealanders think of Asian migrants?
A.They are part of the society. B.They are a small ethnic group.
C.They are very likely to change. D.They are a threat to the country.

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that have an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
Historians have recorded that there was a tradition to celebrate a day for fathers even thousands of years ago. Their study says that 4,000 years ago in Babylon a son called Elmesu carved a father's day message on a clay card. In his message Elmesu wished his father a long and healthy life.
However, in modern times the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
The noble idea of celebrating Father's Day became quite popular in the US so much so that President Woodrow Wilson approved of the festival in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge too supported the idea but it was President Lyndon Johnson who signed a Presidential
the third Sunday of June as Father's Day in 1966.
Most commonly, children give Father's Day cards and flowers to their father. Neckties are a popular gift on the occasion of Father's Day. Due to the tradition of giving gifts, cards makers, florists and gift sellers campaign for Father's Day Festival in a big way and cash in on the sentiments of the people.

A recent report from a United Nations group warns that using technology in classes may not help as much as many people believe. It says that technology can be helpful, but it shouldn’t be the focus. Instead, technology should be used to support learning. “Too much attention on technology in education usually comes at a high cost, ” the report says.
Technology changes so fast that it’s hard to study how it really influences students.The new report says that many of the studies showing that technology helps students come from rich countries and that some of the studies supporting technology come from companies that sell technology to schools.
As classes moved online, the use of technology in education grew even more quickly. Many students were forced to study at home, using video calls to communicate with their teachers. But the report points out that around 500 million students were unable to take part in online classes. That’s a larger problem. People and countries with less money are often left out.
It is true that technology can help in many ways, like allowing students to learn in more interesting ways, helping teachers explain difficult ideas and helping students with special needs.But it can also be very distracting (分散注意力的). When students use phones in class, it can disturb (扰乱) their learning. One study that was carried out in 14 countries showed that even just having a smartphone nearby can be distracting. Even so, only less than 25% of the world’s countries don’t allow students to use phones in schools.
The report suggests that the best way to learn is still to work closely with teachers.Working with other classmates also helps students learn.Most schools should spend more money on things like books, classrooms, and teachers.
32.What is the goal of the new UN report?
A.To stress the importance of digital technology. B.To improve how technology is used in education.
C.To encourage more schools to use technology in class.
D.To pay more attention to the development of technology.
33.What is a relatively bigger problem for online class?
A.Students cannot fully focus their attention. B.The Internet speed is much slower in many homes.
C.Schools have to spend extra money on the Internet. D.The advantages of technology fail to be shared fairly.
34.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A.A recent UN report says that technology should not be used in classrooms.
B.One study showed that over a quarter of the world’s countries mustn’t use phones in schools.
C.The UN report says that the best way to learn is working with teachers instead of working with classmates.
D.Technology can have influence both in good and bad ways.
35.What is the best title of the text?
A.A UN Group Calls for Limit on Technology in Schools B.Countries Work Together to Improve Education
C.Technology Plays an Important Role in Our Life D.Smartphones Help Students a Lot in Online Learning
