1 . How to Avoid Identity Theft

Every year, a large quantity of personal information is leaked into the wrong hands.

Millions of people suffer the identity theft. Maybe there’s spyware on their computer, or a service they use has a security problem, leaving customers at risk of exposure. But there is no need to fear. It’s a lot easier than you might think to set up proper defenses.    1    

Here’s how.

Clean your computer and smart-phone

    2    before you put new security measures into place. This means fixing a good anti-virus program and taking the time to clear out any spyware that may have already infected your system.

Ensure your Wi-Fi safety

Now that your computer is clean, you should plug any holes in your home network. It’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection.     3    . Different routers (路由器) will have different setup pages, so the actual step-by-step will vary, but the end result will be the same. Here’s what to do: Enable basic password protection. You also need to change the password that allows you to access your router’s settings to begin with. Then change the original name of your wireless network. Don’t use any personal information here.

    4    

Everything you just finished could be for nothing if a thief has your existing passwords, so you need to change them for every service you use. What you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numbers, letters, and cases when possible.     5    , and there should be a different one for each website you use.

Doing this or keeping track of it all is pain, which is why people don’t do it and wind up with stolen identities. Try it, and there’s no need to worry about all those problems.

A．Dig deep with your passwords

B．They should be close to random

C．Use the passwords in the same way

D．In fact, you can easily do it all in a weekend

E．However, it is a challenge to set up a defense

F．Make sure your devices are as spotless as possible

G．That’s why you want to be careful when using public Wi-Fi

5 . On a farm in England, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level: they harvest trees which they grow into chairs.

The couple have a furniture（家具）farm in Derbyshire where they are growing 250 chairs, 100 lamps and 550 tables. It is their answer to what they see as the inefficient（无效率的）process of cutting down mature trees to create furniture.

"Instead of force-growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down and making it into smaller and smaller bits…the idea is to grow the tree into the shape that you want directly. It’s like a kind of 3D printing, "said Gavin.

Part of the inspiration for the idea came when Gavin was a young boy. He spotted an overgrown bonsai tree（盆栽） which looked like chair.

The 44-year-old began experimenting in 2006. In 2012, Gavin and Alice set up the company Full Grown. Within several years, the couple developed the most effective way to shape a tree without limiting its growth. They guided shoots（嫩枝）already heading in the right direction, rather than force them the wrong way against their natural growth.

The average chair takes six to nine years to grow-and another year to dry out. The labor and time involved in producing the organic pieces means they do not come cheap. Chairs sell for ￡10,000 each, lamps for ￡900 to ￡2,300 and tables for ￡2,500 to ￡12,500.

1. How could the couple grow trees into a shape they needed?

A．They used 3D printing.

B．They limited their growth.

C．They forced trees into different shapes.

D．They guided their shoots in the right direction.

2. When did Gavin get the idea of growing furniture?

A．When he was a child.	B．When they got married.
C．When they bought the farm.	D．When they began experimenting in 2006.

3. Which can best describe the furniture?

A．Big and eco-friendly.	B．Natural but expensive.
C．Hand-made and creative.	D．Traditional but organic.

4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．A Couple Grow Furniture	B．Expensive Grown Chairs
C．It’s A Good Try Of Sustainability	D．Grown Trees Gain Popularity
