Unit8Conflicts in the WorldPassage AReturn from the CageIt was the open space in Austin that initially overwhelmed me. I couldn't adjust to it. The ease with which I could get in a car and drive to any place left me bewildered and confused. Where were the military checkpoints? Where were the armed soldiers asking for my identification papers? Where were the barricades that would force me to turn back?I had just returned to the United States after an absence of 11 years, during which I lived in a refugee camp in Bethlehem, the town where Christ was born. I was not used to freedom of movement, nor to going more than a few miles without encountering military checkpoints.Getting comfortable with my sudden freedom in Austin was going to take time. I had to adjust to no longer feeling like an animal inside a cage. Most days, I felt utterly dazed. I would spend hours sitting on a stone bench at the University of Texas, staring at the squirrels and the birds. The green lawns brought tears to my eyes.My mind would drift to the refugee camp in Bethlehem, and to 3-year-old Marianna, my delightful ex-neighbor. Marianna has never seen a green lawn in her life and has never seen a squirrel. She lives confined to Bethlehem, forced to remain a prisoner behind the checkpoints and the military barricades. The distance between Marianna's house and Jerusalem is no further than the distance from my South Austin home to downtown. Yet Marianna has never been to Jerusalem and is unlikely to go there anytime in the near future, because no Palestinian can venture into the Holy City without a special Israeli-issued permit, and those permits are almost impossible to come by.But adjusting to my sudden freedom paled in comparison to overcoming my fears and my nightmares. When I left Bethlehem, the second Palestinian uprising against Israel's military occupation was already two months under way. The sound of bomb explosions, gunfire and Apache helicopters overhead lingered in my mind. Hard as I tried, I couldn't shake the sounds away. They were always there, ringing inside my head.Now, in Austin, there were nightmares. I would dream either of friends being shot dead, or see pools of blood spilling from human bodies, or that I myself was the target of gunfire. I would wake up in a sweat, terrified of going back to sleep. During the day, the sound of police or ambulance sirens made me jumpy. Helicoptersflying overhead made me uneasy. I had to constantly remind myself that these were most often civilian and not military helicopters. I had to remind myself that the ambulances were not rushing to the wounded demonstrators.I looked around me, and I wondered if anyone realized, or even knew, that the Apache helicopters being used by the Israeli military to shell innocent Palestinian civilians are actually made in this country! As a writer in Palestine, I had regularly visited bombed-out houses in search of stories. The home of a young nurse sticks out in my mind. A few miles away from the stable in Bethlehem where Christ is said to have been born, her house came under attack by Israeli tanks and was completely burned. I held the remains of some of the tank shells in my two bare hands and read the inscription: "Made in Mesa, Arizona."I wanted to stand on a chair and scream this information to everyone walking through the mall. The tear gas civilians inhale in the Palestinian Territories is made in Pennsylvania, and the helicopters and the F-16 fighter planes are also made in the USA. Yet here in this society, no one appears to care that their tax money funds armies that bring death and destruction to civilians, civilians who are no different from civilians in this country.And I worry about the indifference in this country. I worry because someday, young American men will find themselves fighting another Vietnam War - this time possibly in the Middle East - without a notion of what it is they are doing there. And we will have a repetition of history: Mothers will lose sons and wives will lose husbands in an unnecessary war. I have been repeating this warning in all the talks I have been giving in the past nine months. No one took me seriously. I couldn't understand why young Americans, with their whole futures ahead of them, should go to die in a war they will not understand.逃出牢笼刚回到奥斯丁的时候,使我感到无所适从的是这里的广阔自由天地。

剑桥雅思8-第三套试题-阅读部分-PASSAGE 1-阅读真题原文部分:READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13 which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.Striking Back at Lightning With LasersSeldom is the weather more dramatic than when thunderstorms strike. Their electrical fury inflicts death or serious injury on around 500 people each year in the United States alone. As the clouds roll in, a leisurely round of golf can become a terrifying dice with death - out in the open, a lone golfer may be a lightning bolt's most inviting target. And there is damage to property too. Lightning damage costs American power companies more than $100 million a year.But researchers in the United States and Japan are planning to hit back. Already in laboratory trials they have tested strategies for neutralising the power of thunderstorms, and this winter they will brave real storms, equipped with an armoury of lasers that they will be pointing towards the heavens to discharge thunderclouds before lightning can strike.The idea of forcing storm clouds to discharge their lightning on command is not new. In the early 1960s, researchers tried firing rockets trailing wires into thunderclouds to set up an easy discharge path for the huge electric charges that these clouds generate. The technique survives to this day at a test site in Florida run by the University of Florida, with support from the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), based in California. EPRI, which is funded by power companies, is looking at ways to protect the United States' power grid from lightning strikes. 'We can cause the lightning to strike where we want it to using rockets, ' says Ralph Bernstein, manager of lightning projects at EPRI. The rocket site is providing precise measurements of lightning voltages and allowing engineers to check how electrical equipment bears up.Bad behaviourBut while rockets are fine for research, they cannot provide the protection from lightning strikes that everyone is looking for. The rockets cost around $1, 200 each, can only be fired at a limited frequency and their failure rate is about 40 per cent. And even when they do trigger lightning, things still do not always go according to plan. 'Lightning is not perfectly well behaved, 'says Bernstein. 'Occasionally, it will take a branch and go someplace it wasn't supposed to go. ' And anyway, who would want to fire streams of rockets in a populated area? 'What goes up must come down, ' points out Jean-Claude Diels of the University of New Mexico. Diels is leading a project, which is backed by EPRI, to try to use lasers to discharge lightning safely - and safety is a basic requirement since no one wants to put themselves or their expensive equipment at risk. With around $500, 000 invested so far, a promising system is just emerging from the laboratory.The idea began some 20 years ago, when high-powered lasers were revealing their ability to extract electrons out of atoms and create ions. If a laser could generate a line of ionisation in the air all the way up to a storm cloud, this conducting path could be used to guide lightning to Earth, before the electric field becomes strong enough to break down the air in an uncontrollable surge. To stop the laser itself being struck, it would not be pointed straight at the clouds. Instead it would be directed at a mirror, and from there into the sky. The mirror would be protected by placing lightning conductors close by. Ideally, the cloud-zapper (gun)would be cheap enough to be installed around all key power installations, and portable enough to be taken to international sporting events to beam up at brewing storm clouds.A stumbling blockHowever, there is still a big stumbling block. The laser is no nifty portable: it's a monster that takes up a whole room. Diels is trying to cut down the size and says that a laser around the size of a small table is in the offing. He plans to test this more manageable system on live thunderclouds next summer.Bernstein says that Diels's system is attracting lots of interest from the power companies. But they have not yet come up with the $5 million that EPRI says will be needed to develop a commercial system, by making the lasers yet smaller and cheaper. 'I cannot say I have money yet, but I'm working on it, ' says Bernstein. He reckons that the forthcoming field tests will be the turning point - and he's hoping for good news. Bernstein predicts 'an avalanche of interest and support' if all goes well. He expects to see cloud-zappers eventually costing 100, 000 each.Other scientists could also benefit. With a lightning 'switch' at their fingertips, materials scientists could find out what happens when mighty currents meet matter. Diels also hopes to see the birth of 'interactive meteorology' - not just forecasting the weather but controlling it. 'If we could discharge clouds, we might affect the weather, ' he says.And perhaps, says Diels, we'll be able to confront some other meteorological menaces. 'We think we could prevent hail by inducing lightning, ' he says. Thunder, the shock wave that comes from a lightning flash, is thought to be the trigger for the torrential rain that is typical of storms. A laser thunder factory could shake the moisture out of clouds, perhaps preventing the formation of the giant hailstones that threaten crops. With luck, as the storm clouds gather this winter, laser-toting researchers could, for the first time, strike back.Questions 1-3Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.Write the correct letter in boxes 1-3 on your answer sheet.1 The main topic discussed in the text isA the damage caused to US golf courses and golf players by lightning strikes.B the effect of lightning on power supplies in the US and in Japan.C a variety of methods used in trying to control lightning strikes.D a laser technique used in trying to control lightning strikes.2 According to the text, every year lightningA does considerable damage to buildings during thunderstorms.B kills or injures mainly golfers in the United States.C kills or injures around 500 people throughout the world.D damages more than 100 American power companies.3 Researchers at the University of Florida and at the University of New MexicoA receive funds from the same source.B are using the same techniques.C are employed by commercial companies.D are in opposition to each other.Questions 4-6Complete the sentences below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 4-6 on your answer sheet.4 EPRI receives financial support from………………………….5 The advantage of the technique being developed by Diels is that it can be used……………….6 The main difficulty associated with using the laser equipment is related to its……………….Questions 7-10Complete the summary using the list of words, A-I, below.Write the correct letter, A-I, in boxes 7-10 on your answer sheet.In this method, a laser is used to create a line of ionisation by removing electrons from 7 ………………………….

大学创新英语综合教程 1 Unit 3课文翻译及翻译练习答案Passage 1阅读的乐趣我们会从图书世界里收获什么成果?书籍对于全人类,犹如记忆对于每个人。
书籍涵盖了我们人类的历史,记录了我们的发现,也积累了我们世世代代的知识和经验。
书籍为我们描绘了自然界的奇观和美景,书籍帮助我们摆脱了困境,在悲哀和困苦中给我们以安慰,在我们烦闷的时刻带来欢乐,给我们的脑海装进各种观念,使我们的脑海充满了美妙欢乐的思想,从而使我们能提升自我,超越自我。
东方有个这样的故事:从前有两个人,一个国王和一个乞丐。
国王每天夜里都会梦到自己成了一个乞丐;而乞丐每天夜里都会梦到自己成了一个王子,住进了王宫。
我不知道国王是否如愿以偿真正成了乞丐。
想象有时比现实更加生动逼真。
然而,不管怎么样,我们读书时,不仅可以成为国王(如果我们真这样想),住进王宫里。
而且更为奇妙的是,我们可以神驰群山,或畅游海滨。
我们也可遍访世上最美丽的地方,而无须经受任何劳顿,也没有什么不方便,更无须花费分文。
著名演员麦考利·卡尔金集财富、名望、地位和权势于一身,然而他在自传中告诉我们,他生活中最幸福的时刻还是在读书时。
在给一个小女孩的回信中,他写道,“感谢你那封有趣的来信,我很乐意让我的小女孩高兴快乐,而让我最开心的事莫过于看到她喜欢读书,因为当她到了我现在这个年纪,她会发现书籍比任何蛋糕、玩具、戏剧和风景都要好。
真要是有人拥戴我成为世上最显赫的国王,拥有宫殿花园、珍肴美餐、佳酿华辇、龙袍华衮,以及奴仆成群,但其拥立条件却是不让我读书,我则决不愿去做国王。
我宁愿做一个穷人,蜗居阁楼斗室,与众多书籍为伴,也不愿成为一个不爱读书的国王。
”事实上,书籍为我们构建了一个像是施了魔法的完整的思想宫殿。
简·保罗·理查曾说,从诗人的角度看景色,比坐在宝座上看视野更开阔。
从某种意义上说,书籍给我们的形象比真的现实的东西更生动,正如影像往往比真实的风景更美丽。
Unit 8 Computers and SecurityPassage A You Are the Weakest Link, Goodbye.Do you remember the good old days? Innocent times spent sharing documents and executable files without a care in the world. Okay, every month or so you might encounter a boot sector virus - but they were easy to deal with even if the anti-virus software didn't pick them up.But those long lazy summers disappeared too fast. Macro viruses made Information Technology (IT) administrators grow up fast as they realized there was a type of virus which could spread very quickly throughout an organization. It wasn't unusual to find hundreds of computers within personal company infected by viruses transmitted via email attachments. The IT staff were amongst the fittest departments in your company, running from Personal Computer (PC) to the next cleaning them up.There had to be a better way. Companies now realize that viruses aren't "urban myths", and can have a serious impact on their operations. They invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines.It sounds like companies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. But have they?Anti-virus software detects most of the viruses your users are likely to encounter - often without the user even knowing. However, the software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large company. Even then, a very new virus can infect your users. With the rapid transmission of files through networks and the Internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. Fortunately, only a few viruses ever do this but the likes of Melissa and the Love Bug can inflict serious damage before their progress is stopped. Whilst employees become suddenly aware during the ensuing media excitement, they soon forget about the virus threat as the stories disappear from the news headlines.This is the danger. Complacency can set in when there is no perceived "action" on the virus front with no global crisis, and the importance of being vigilant about viruses recedes in your users' minds. They forget what the big deal was in the first place - after all, the anti-virus software deals with the viruses, doesn't it? And isn't it the IT department's job to look after this sort of thing?Before you know it your users are opening unsolicited attachments once more, downloading unauthorized software, and putting your company's data and credibility at risk. All because the users think that they are working in a safe environment. Employeessee anti-virus software, firewalls and IT departments as guarantees that their computers will work and will be safe. Of course, there aren't any guarantees. Anti-virus software plays one, albeit important, part in the defense of your company from malicious attack but the security of your computer system is only as strong as the weakest link. And that, more often than not, is the human factor.No employer wants to come across as a killjoy or an ogre. Most will willingly accept that the happiest employees are those who feel that they are respected and trusted by their employer. Many companies accept that employees will send and receive a certain amount of personal email and make the odd personal telephone call.However, the worry comes when employees start risking company security in pursuit of personal amusement. Funny screensavers and games downloaded from the Internet can seem harmless enough but they could easily be harboring a dangerous virus.Software downloaded from the net is often unlicensed and unsupported, and may cause conflicts with existing software in use at your company. Unlicensed, pirated software is an ideal vector for a computer virus. Virus writers and hackers often use such software as the ideal "kick-start" for their virus distribution.It is vitally important that employees be educated about the virus threat but this cannot be a one-off event. The potential threat should always be in the back of an employee's mind and precautionary measures should be taken as a matter of course. There is no harm in reminding people about what could happen if they let their guard down. In the end, education is the key to a virus-free environment and this is a continual process. It may not be the most exciting thing on the agenda but it works.The lesson is simple. You can have the best software in the world protecting your company's defenses; you can even be the biggest IT company in the world; but without your users practicing safe computing they will always be the weakest link.PA 你是最薄弱的环节,再见还记得美好的往日时光吗?在那样的纯真年代,我们共享文档和可执行文件,根本没有半点顾虑。

无人可免
Introduction:
随着个人信息或敏感信息的外泄,数据泄露已经对人们的日常生活形成了严重的安全威胁。
数据泄露包括以下事件:由犯罪团伙做财力支持的黑客的广泛搜索和国家政府对旧的电脑配件及信息存储媒介的疏忽处理。
这样的事件有可能会造成身份(信息)盗窃、公司损失客户或其他严重后果。
如何避免数据泄露?或者数据泄露能否被完全根除?Bill Morrow正在努力解决这些问题。
正文:
2006年12月被报导出的TJX公司大量安全漏洞推动数据泄露成为热点新闻。
长久以来,每年会发生数以百计的数据泄露。
然而,大多数除却被攻击的消费者对日常信息泄露并不在意。
当敏感信息或个人信息(即社会安全账号、银行账号)被暴露在外界情报员时,数据泄露就发生了。
根据身份(信用)盗窃处理中心的统计,发生在2008年1月至8月的数据泄露比2007年全年发生的还多。
总体上,我国平均每月有57间泄露事件发生,11.4%发生在金融企业。
鉴于如此之高的发生率,所有银行拥有一套抵御及预防数据泄露的预案是十分重要的。
提高安全意识
在很多情况下,数据泄露不能被事前预防措施阻止。
事实上,银行可以采取很多手段来减少发生数据泄露的机会。
装有用户信息的手提电脑和其他数码媒介的丢失引起的21.6%的数据泄露,14%是意外上传消费者敏感信息造成的。
由于这些都是突发事件,因此很难防范。
然而,银行可以通过雇员培训来降低此类事件发生的可能性。
通过一共身份(信用)盗窃保护作为员工福利或仅仅提供更健全的安全教育课程,可以提升整个银行的信息安全意识及对欺诈和身份(信用)盗窃的注意。
依照这些主动行为,雇员将更加额外留意敏感信息,以及像管理层竟是不安全的信息业务。
从根本上讲,这建立起了一直监视安全问题的人工防火墙。
公司雇员窃取客户信息占数据泄露的15.6%。
由于不完善的背景筛查过程,每年大约200万信息盗贼通过使用投来的证明材料被雇佣。
通过使用无所不包的背景筛查过程来验证申请人的信息,包括他们的姓名、生日资料,以此在那些罪犯得到工作前阻止他们。
完整的检查也包括别名、化名的公共记录、犯罪记录和性犯罪记录。
另外,不间断的犯罪记录监测将确保雇员不会再受雇期间犯下新罪。
当你成功的从雇员和申请人中清除信息盗贼后,也要从分包商中清除信息盗贼。
2008年有16%的数据泄露被追查到分包商。
不要有雇员拥有整日接近你分部和客户信息的机会。
确保你知道是谁进入你的银行,无论是清洁工、垃圾回收员伙食邮件递送服务。
只与那些利用广泛背景审查制度防止信息盗贼被雇佣的厂商合作。
这个额外的预防措施将帮助你的客户和他们的个人信息周围只有已经审查清除的人。
提前行动做好准备
即使这些措施也许可以帮助防止你的银行的数据泄露,但它们并不足以防止泄露。
因此,你也需要准备一个预案从而能够在信息泄露发生时可以快速反应。
至少44个州,华盛顿特区和波多黎各都已经颁布了要求通知涉及个人信息的泄露的法律。
在德克萨斯州,商家被要求尽可能快的通知他们的客户关于个人信息的泄露,并且民事或刑事的罚款都可能导致商家破产从而导致商家会立即通知客户信息漏洞如。
如果泄露发
生时如何能够一步一步的按计划去着手处理是极其重要的。
这包括了在内部通知谁(如安全主管,CEO),在外部通知谁(如司法部长,FBI),以及如何修改用户的和公共关系的计划。
根据研究隐私和数据保护措施的波尼蒙研究所,31%的客户会在公司出现数据泄漏时放弃那家公司。
极少的商家可以再恢复将近三分之一的客户基础的丢失。
在顾客是否愿意继续在发生数据泄露的公司办理业务,如何处理数据的泄露扮演者很重要的角色。
许多受害的公司是因为他们的通知程序而失去客户的。
客户们都不想在新闻中听到他们的银行发生了信息泄露的事件。
确保客户从你那里得到信息,你可以利用位置服务来找的绝大多数的受害者的正确地址。
听起来好像十分简单,但许多商家都很让人失望,因为他们将信息泄露的通知发到了过期的地址,那也就意味着客户永远接受不到信息。
因此,一旦你已经通知了你的客户关于信息泄露的事,通过提供他们身份盗窃保护来帮助他们保护个人身份信息。
如今又可以使用非常多的身份盗窃的保护措施,但向客户显示是你优先考虑的事,你要选择一个高于基本信用监控的安全措施。
选择一个提供可以实时监控信用卡记录,法庭和公共场合记录,非信贷贷款记录,网络和性犯罪记录的安全措施,从而确保可以查清贷款和非贷款犯罪活动。
一个综合的服务也会提供身份盗窃的保险和身份恢复的服务,从而提供360度的防止身份盗窃的保护。
不要等待,现在就行动
今年早些时候,纽约梅隆银行因未加密的后备的计算机磁盘的丢失,而导致了将近一千两百万的客户的个人和财产信息丢失。
报道估计平均每份信息的泄露造成了197美元的损失。
因此,面对超过一千两百万的客户被影响的局面,纽约梅隆银行在即将到来的月份里面将面对极其艰难的战斗。
这个案例仅是另一个如今全球信息泄露事件频发的例子。
没有商家是免疫的。
因为有太多的因素会导致泄露的发生,在绝大数案件中泄漏发生只是时间问题。
当信息泄露事件发生是,人们将会依据你的反映来评判你。
积极做好准备。
要在信息泄露发生之前知道你的责任,从而确保你自己可以快速的有效的对情况做出回应,进而帮助保护你的公司,你的员工,你的顾客。
