How can you make your computer and Internet passwords safe? Experts have some tips for you. You’d better remember the tips and they are useful. Here are the tips.

Second, add numbers or symbols to your password. It may be much safer. Sometimes such password is not easy to remember, but it is really safe.

Third, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. Experts say that a user should change his or her passwords every 90 days. In this way, hackers won’t guess your passwords.

When we have small cuts in the skin (皮膚), something strange may happen. The cuts are able to heal (痊愈) themselves in a couple of days. How does this happen? Read on, and you will find out the secret.

Every living thing on the earth is made up of cells (細胞). Cells grow and make new cells. Most cells are very tiny and we can’t see them with our eyes. Different cells have different uses. Our skin cells are special ones. The cells on the surface (表面) of our skin are old dead cells. New skin cells are right under the surface. These are the living skin cells. They do work for our bodies. They help protect our bodies and heal cuts. 

Our bodies make skin cells all the time. As the old cells fall off, new cells grow in the same place. Each person makes about 18 kg of skin cells during his or her life. Surface skin cells fit together closely with no gaps between them. When you cut or burn yourself, you can harm your skin cells. A small cut will not do much harm. Your skin will quickly heal itself by making new skin cells. How do skin cells work? First, the cells near the cut get bigger and move into the gap. Next, these bigger cells meet in the middle. They form a new layer (層) of skin cells. Finally, new cells will grow until the gap disappears completely. In this way, your skin can grow and get well itself.

How amazing the tiny cells are! Next time you have a cut, don’t worry about it. Maybe in a few days, you will be surprised to find it healed.

A. .突起 B. 條紋 C. 縫隙 D. 代溝

2.Skin cells heal cuts in three steps. _________is the right order.

One morning on my way to school, I had just seated myself on the bus when suddenly a few peasant-workers got on the bus with big bags, they rushed and shouted to seek the empty seats. One of them just sat next to me, putting his bag on the ground of the bus. The dirty bag touched my new white shoes. I stood up at once and kept me away from those peasant-workers and their big bags.

After class I told my unpleasant experience to my friends, they almost held the same feeling that even in the streets they would keep away from those peasant-workers and their big bags. Then some of us raised a question why they always carried big bags over their shoulders while a little amount of money could buy many cheap things that they needed.

What on earth were there in their big bags? We could only keep our curiosity but had no chance to see inside.

Then one day a chance came when I passed a building site with my friends after school, we saw a group of peasant -workers rushed out the half -finished building to a small bus, they all carried big bags as usual. Suddenly, an old peasant -worker fell on the ground. His bag flew off and hit the ground. The bag broke due to its weight and poor quality, and what were inside the bag separated everywhere. The sight drew the passengers’ attention at once especially ours. We gathered over to see the incident, regardless of the embarrass feeling of the old man.

The poor old man caught a big colorful sharpener（卷筆刀）the first time and sat on the ground, his legs were too weak to support his body because he had fallen down heavily, but he cleaned the sharpener carefully with his clothes, checking whether there was something wrong with it. It was clear that the beautiful sharpener was bought for his grandchild. We were a little moved and we couldn’t help picking up other things on the ground for the old man. A few clothes caught our eyes. They had been washed clean and folded neatly though they were a little old. We quickly gathered all his belongs and took them to the small bus with him.

On our way back, I suddenly imaged the scene when the old peasant-worker got home, his family rushed out to welcome him. Now it is clear what’s in the peasants’ big bags. They carry the worry, miss and warmth out but bring the great hope back.

1.How did the writer feel when he stood up on the bus?

A. unhappy B. satisfied C. interested D. worried

2.Why did the old man catch the sharpener first?

A. Because it was the most expensive. B. Because it was very close to him.

We are all asked to make a speech at some point in life，but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives us some advice on how to give a good speech.

So, you have to give a speech and you’re afraid. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, and you talk too long, and you get your audience (聽眾) less interested. Later you think,“Thank Goodness！It's over. I'm just not good at public speaking. I hope I will never have to do that again.”

Cheer up！It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the reason for your speech. What is the reason? Why are you speaking? Then collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend a great deal of time organizing your speech so that it is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts (圖表) if they help make your points clearer. Never forget your audience. Treat your audience with respect(尊重) .They will like listening to you more.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject ,your audience and the reason. Be easy and short. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person communication with your audience.

If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches！You don’t believe that? Give it a try and see what happens.
