A

Emily and Alex were happy when their family moved to a house with a very big garden. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds. Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise (碰撞声) on a window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass.

During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. “Why would they fly to the windows?” they wondered. Finally they found out the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection(反射) of the garden.

The family tried keeping curtains(窗帘)across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk. They made six hawks – one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away. After that, there were no more dead birds.

Teenagers and adults can learn a lot from volunteering. Here are some great places for them to volunteer.

Hospitals

Teens working in hospitals can get job experience in the medical field. They also have the chance to work with people and learn some social skills. Adults, especially retired adults, volunteering in hospitals can get the chance to stay healthy and spend their free time.

Nursing homes

For teens, volunteering in a nursing home can help them realize how they should respect the old. For working adults, it’s a chance to share work skills in a special way. There they can help teach computer classes, art or dance to keep the old happy and satisfied.

Museums

Museums are always looking for volunteers. They need office workers to serve the visitors or help clean the rooms. And they prefer museum docents (讲解员) who know a lot about how the museums work.

Remember wherever you volunteer, be willing to do anything without being asked. Then you can get the most out of volunteering.

第三节 回答问题 ( 5小题, 计10分) 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。

Nowadays, computers and Internet are playing an important part in our life. We usually need to set passwords(密码) when we use computers and Internet. In order to keep our accounts (账户)and personal information safe, we must learn how to set safe passwords.

Experts have some useful advice for you. You’d better remember them. First, make your password out of capital(大写的)letters. It only takes a hacker(黑客)10 minutes to work out a 6-letter password made of small letters. But the same password in capital letters takes 10 hours to work out. Second, add numbers or symbols to your password. It may be much safer. Third, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. At last, a user should change his or her passwords every 90 days. In this way, hackers won’t guess your passwords.

61. What do we usually need to do when we use computers and Internet?

62. Why must we learn how to set safe passwords?

63. How many pieces of advice are given to us by the experts?

64. Is it safe to use personal information for passwords?

65. How often should a user change his or her passwords?
