I was also crying uncontrollably. The day before yesterday, my uncle had _2
13、1_ me that I was never to speak to him, his wife, or my two cousins again. Earlier, I had made a silly, joking remark. It was never meant to _22_ my aunts feelings, but it did. I spent the evening in an ugly blue telephone booth (电话亭), _23_ as I spoke to a friend who lived in England. As a 22-year-o
14、ld _24_ had been raised to respect and trust adults, I believed my aunt and uncle when they said Id _25_ the relationship between themselves and family.When I left the phone booth, I went back to a _26_ house with three closed bedroom doors.

22、读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。ALooking up at the ceiling, Na He Jeon pours porridge into her mouth. She carefully dips the bowl forward, dropping the porridge directly down her throat, careful not to touch the 15 ulcers(溃疡) in her mouth. But it was the week before midterms, so s
23、he still had to study. Jeon was 1st out of 330 students on her exams that year. “Thank god I did,” she says. “If I hadnt done well I would have been regarded as a failure.” By the end of the week, 14-year-old Jeon weighed only 83.6 pounds.Like Jeon, there are countless numbers of first generation As
24、ian-Americans who make great efforts to go beyond at everything. Yet the children themselves cannot all be put to blame for their efforts. Typically, it is the parents who are designing a life which they see as perfect for their children. One such occurrence is when I was at my hotel in Beijing. It
25、was roughly around 8:00 p.m. when I decided to take a dip in the pool after dinner. I jumped into the pool that was already spotted with a few Chinese children and I hadnt realized what was going on until I took notice of the parents calling out orders and 4instructing their children. I saw various
26、children all under the age of 10 taking laps across the pool trying various styles. If a childs foot was too bent, her parent would demand that she straighten it. If a child was kicking too slowly, his parent would order that he go faster. I couldnt help but pity the children whose parents were taki
27、ng the opportunity to give a swimming lesson, rather than just let them enjoy their time during the holiday.Either because of their parents or their own desire, first-generation Asian-Americans put forth their 110% in order to be accepted into one of the best American colleges. Asian-American studen
28、ts want to see As, 100%s, and perfect scores. According to Jeon, Asians complain that students with a 4.0 GPA and 2400 SAT simply cannot be rejected from top schools. To their disappointment, however, they often are. The ethic(伦理) of this aggressive work also exhibits itself via sports and other aft
29、er-class activities. What sets Asian-Americans apart, however, is that they fight to be excellent in whatever it is that they do. Be it playing the piano or performing in math competitions, Asian-Americans look to be in first place. Although it may cause unnecessary stress, such a driven work ethic
30、is a commendable quality. Often blamed for lacking in creativity, Asian-Americans can actually make up for the absence of imagination with their determination. The average American can dream creative dreams, but that only matters if he or she can make it happen in reality. Asian-Americans, instead,
31、can gather creative ideas to produce something concrete. Yet with such a drive to succeed, Asian-Americans have somehow twisted their definition of success. Rather than looking at personal achievement, they refer to numbers, statistics and scores to rate their success. It seems as if desire and the
32、sense of free will are nonexistent in certain Asian-American students as they mercilessly drive themselves to an inevitable burnout. Their desire to be the most-talented is an impossible dream. In a fruitless attempt, they try to be the best in a world already full of winners.41. It can be inferred
33、from paragraph 1 that _.A. Na He Jeon had to give up the midterm test because of her illness.B. Na He Jeon complained about the heavy study pressure from parents.C. Na He Jeon was struggling hard to achieve academic success.D. Na He Jeon was worrying about negative comments from classmates.42. The w

35、ation to face the fierce competition 43. The word “commendable” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.A. complex B. admirable C. natural D. fundamental44. According to Asian-Americans, success lies in _.A. realizing imaginative and creative ideas B. achieving individual accomplishmentC. winning
36、scholarships to top schools D. rising to the top in scores at everything45. The writers purpose of writing this article is to _.A. express sympathy for Asian-American childrenB. advocate academic competition among students5C. stress that personal success means more than high scoresD. analyze the pro
37、blems in school educationBEVERY YEAR, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe theres spyware on their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach - as eBay did this year, leaving customers at risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is e
38、asy to guess: Security company SplashData reports that the most popular passwords in 2013 were 123456 and password.Fear not: It is a lot easier than you might think to set up proper defenses. In fact, you can easily do it all in a weekend. Heres how.Clean Your Computer And SmartphoneBefore you put n
39、ew security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy- or malware that may have already infected your system. Go with AVG Free Antivirus (free. Avg. com) or Avast! (avast. com) -eac
40、h is free. Run a full system scan. This can take over an hour, so start it before settling into other plans. When you return to your computer, clear out anything that shouldnt be there with a few simple steps (the program will guide you). These days, its also worth it to make sure your phone is safe
41、 from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app (lookout. com) to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.Security Your Wi-FiNow that your computer is clean, you should plug any holes in your home network. Its fa

For your home, the Federal Communications Commission recommends a few steps. Even though you put security measures into place a cou
43、ple of years ago, its a good idea to refresh your settings. You may have to refer to the instructions for your wireless router or call tech support for help. Different routers will have different setup pages, so the actual step-by-step will vary, but the end result will be the same.Dig Deep with You
44、r PasswordsEverything you just accomplished could be for nothing if a thief has your existing passwords, so you need to change them for every service you use. Try it when you find yourself on those sites anyway.What youve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals,
45、 letters, and cases when possible. They should be close to random, and there should be a different one for each website you use. Doing this, and keeping track of it all, is a pain - which is why people dont do it and wind up with stolen identities. Try Dashlane (), a password manager with powerful e
