You might have heard about identity theft: it’s what can happen when a thief gets enough of someone’s information to commit fraud(诈骗). Why should people care about it? Because recovering a stolen identity can be a time—consuming and expensive process. Imagine that someone pretends to be you: they use your name; they even convince businesses that they’re you and they open a credit card in your name, get a cell phone in your name, or buy things using a credit card that has your name on it. ID thieves can be creative about getting your information. There are some low—tech ways they get it: sometimes they steal garbage, going through it to find personal information» or they steal mail. There are high—tech ways, too: ID thieves might put software onto your computer without you knowing it—it can happen when you open an email attachment, click on a pop—up (弹出窗口) advertisement, or download some music files. Some software lets a thief see everything on your computer, and record everything you type on your computer. Unfortunately, even if you’re really careful with your personal information, thieves can still get it. Sometimes, they hack (入侵) into computer systems at stores or schools, hospitals or businesses. They look for personal information to use or sell to other thieves. It’s pretty easy for you and your family to make it harder for a thief to steal your identity. You can start with the low—tech defenses: being careful with your mail and garbage. Tear anything that has personal information on it before you throw it away. And be sure to take care with your purse, your wallet, or your backpack. Practice some routine higher-tech defensive plays, too: protect your computer by installing (安装) and turning on an up-to-date firewall along with anti-spyware and anti-virus software. Once you are online, be careful with your personal information. Some sites might ask for a credit card number, stop and check if they really need that number. When you get email or pop—ups on your computer, don’t respond automatically. Emails that ask you to reply or click a link could be thieves trying to trick you into giving them your personal information. It’s a technique called “phishing”, because the thieves are fishing for your information. Stop and think before you click. 25. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers that .

It was the first day of school. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a little old lady smiling at me. She said. “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty—seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed, enthusiastically responding, “of course!” And she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked. “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then retire and travel.” “No, seriously.” “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she took great delight in the attention given to her from the other students, she was living it up. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet (宴会) and I’ll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed, she simply said, “I’m sorry. This whiskey (威士忌酒) is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know. ”As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began: “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You have got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

How Do You Practice Patience Patience may be a virtue, but I’m not very good at it—and I’m probably not alone. The following advice may help you practice patience. Try to figure out why you are in a hurry We tend to lose our patience when we’re multi—tasking or, when we’re on a tight schedule. If you’re stretching yourself too thin, you should reconsider your to-do list before you attempt to change your natural reaction to an overwhelming (压倒性的) situation. 36 Remind yourself that things take time People who are impatient are people who insist on getting things done now and don’t like to waste time. 37 Think about your happiest memories. Chances are, they were instances when your patience paid off, like when you worked steadily towards a goal that wasn’t immediately satisfying. Almost anything really good in life takes effort, and if you’re impatient, you’re more likely to give up on relationships, goals, and other things that are important to you. Expect the unexpected Yes, you have plans, but things don’t always work out as planned. 38 This applies not only to circumstances, but also the behavior of those around you. If you yourself blowing up over your spouse (配偶) accidentally forgetting to take out the trash(垃圾), you’re not in touch with the fact that people aren’t perfect. Even if the occasion is not an isolated incident but is instead caused by their repeated carelessness, losing your patience isn’t going to make it any better. Give yourself a break 39 Just sit quietly and think. Don’t watch television; don’t even read. It may be hard at first, and you may even feel pretty impatient after a minute or two, but by taking some time out you can slow your world down, and that’s important to develop the attitude necessary to develop patience. Second, stop holding yourself and the world around you to unreachable standards. Remember what is valuable 40 Move the world toward peace by being kind, generous in forgiveness of others, being grateful for what is, and taking full advantage of what matters most. When other unimportant things fuel our impatience, taking time to remember any one of these items reduces our tendency to want something different right now. A. Make plans carefully. B. Accept the turns in life gracefully. C. However, some things just can’t be rushed. D. First, take a few minutes to do nothing. E. People think that it is not easy to gain patience. F. Not focusing on what matters most in this life fuels impatience. G. Try to spread out your tasks so that you’re doing only one thing at a time.
