We all love to take photographs. It's great to look back through your photo albums and share your memories with friends. This hasn't really changed since the invention of photography in the 1830s. But one thing that has changed, is the equipment we use.
For many years, we have used traditional cameras to take our pictures with. Our images were captured onto camera film and photos were printed. But the biggest change has come with the development of digital technology. This has made taking photos quicker and easier. It enabled us to take a snap and review our pictures instantly. We've been able to manipulate them in post-production, using software on our computer. And of course, we've been able to share them like never before – particularly on social media. Now we have the smartphone – a phone that is smart because it can take photos and sometimes very good quality ones, and we can share them easily.
The growth of the smartphone means more and more of us are taking photos and it opens our eyes to the creative possibilities it can provide. And for some, it can be a first step into getting into serious photography and pushing their creative skills. But whatever camera viewfinder we use, it's important to remember the basics of focusing, good lighting and framing - and getting your subject to say 'cheese!'

Many of us spend plenty of our time at work, but rarely give much thought to how our environment might be affecting us.
Open offices could be making you unproductive and unhappy. A 2011 review of studies examined the effects of various types of office environments. It found that open offices can have a negative impact on workers when it comes to focus, efficiency, creativity and job satisfaction. However, a 2013 study found that employees with private offices were more satisfied at work.
Your working environment could be upping your stress levels. A recent Monster.com poll found that 42 percent of U.S. workers have left a job due to stressful environment. It also found that 61 percent of American workers believe that work stress has been a cause of illness.
A noisy workspace could be killing your concentration because of phones ringing and colleagues chatting, typing and moving around. These noises are the “enemy of focus”, and meaningful time is lost. Too much time sitting down without any physical exercise increases your risk of disease. We’ve all heard that “sitting is the new smoking”. Your desk job could almost be killing you. Sitting at a desk all day can also contribute to aches and pains, while staring at a computer screen for hours can cause vision problems and headaches.
A sedentary lifestyle increases your risk of disease. We’ve all heard that “sitting is the new smoking”. Your desk job could almost be killing you. Sitting at a desk all day can also contribute to aches and pains, while staring at a computer screen for hours can cause vision problems and headaches.
It’s no exaggeration that your working environment is killing you. Be alert!

An argument is raging about whether companies should report cyber attacks. Security experts warn that US retailers, hotels and airports have gaping holes in their online security. Researchers say flaws could allow hackers to swipe credit card details from retailers, run technology in hotel rooms by remote control and trick airport security into believing someone is drug-free
Dan Geer is chief information security officer for In-Q-Tel. He says the threat of cyber attack is so serious that companies should declare important security failures. “Not only has cyber security reached the highest levels of attention, it has spread into nearly every corner,” he said.
Laws about what kind of attacks companies must report vary depending on the country or industry. But many focus on the loss of consumer data. The number of companies reporting cyber security has more than doubled in the past two years.
Mr.Geer has called for “a public health system” for the Internet. He says the US government should pay to fix public holes in software. But Kevin Mandia, chief operating officer of cyber security company FireEye, thinks differently. He says companies are right to fear being forced to report attacks. Doctors are not being blamed for not having cured cancer and the threat from cyber crime is similarly here to stay, he has added.
(1)What can hackers do through the gaping holes?
单选题 （难易度: 中）
A.
They can report cyber attacks.

Americans like to give names to generations. We call those who lived through World War II the “Greatest Generation”; those who came of age reading the beatnik poets of the 1950s the “Beat Generation”. But we can’t agree on a name for the millions of young people today, who are flooding the Internet with their own stories, music, films and art.
A survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that 44 percent of Internet users are generating creative content and posting it on the web. The survey found that young people spend much of their free, waking hours on the Internet or using hand-held devices, blogging, texting or posting their original work.
Some people call these do-it-yourselfers “Generation C” for the creative content they post. Or C for “citizen media”, which means they’re common people sharing their opinions with the world. Another name for them is “Generation E” for “entitled” because these folks feel they have just as much right as those famous writers or musicians or filmmakers to be heard.
Donnie Deutsch, the host of a cable TV show, says Generation C or E is not an age group. It’s a mindset. “This is the first generation that’s saying, ‘You know what? We count.’ ‘My opinion is as good as anyone else’s, and my ability to create music is as good as any musician’s.’” Donnie says, “It’s kind of a crazy, brave new world.”
In short, easy-to-use technology is giving a voice to what “Generation E” may really stand for: everyday people.

Read the passage and decide if the following statements are True (T) or false (F).
I am a courier. Many people today are glad to see us because they expect to receive what they have bought on the Internet. When I see their eager faces, I feel that my job is valuable. I am proud of my job. Why did I choose to be a courier?
The first benefit is, I think, couriers can usually deliver an item faster than it would have taken if sent by other means. For example, a person may need to send a document to someone else. He could do this by sending it through the mail. If the two parties are in the same city, this transaction is likely to take at least one day. Couriers, however, usually can make it happen within hours.
Secondly, couriers generally offer a receipt for the delivery and that can make their clients feel more secure. Postal services generally are not as efficient in this regard. Even text messages and e-mails may not be comparable. In many cases, without delivery confirmation, the sender knows that something was sent, but there is no confirmation as to whether it was received or when it was received.
Most importantly, the Internet has changed people’s shopping habits. More and more people tend to shop on the Internet. The goods bought on the Internet have to be delivered by couriers. So a courier can make more money if he wants to work longer hours.
That’s why I have chosen to work as a courier. Well, that’s about my job. Time is money. I have to send packages to the next place now. Talk to you later.
(1) People are glad to see couriers because they can bring people good luck.

Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers are threatening the future of printed books. But reading itself may get a boost from the devices. For example, a study found that the kids felt better about reading after a course in which they used Amazon Kindles. The research is in the International Journal of Applied Science and Technology.
For two months, 199 middle-school students in a reading improvement class in Texas had 15 to 25 minutes every day when they were free to read on the Kindle. In general, the students felt the device improved their reading ability. And they tended to enjoy using an e-reader.
However, some low-level readers may feel somewhat embarrassed when they are seen with a simple book. Because they can never use fake book covers as in the past to keep their peers in the dark.

If you hear a friend or co-worker chatting about SOHO, don’t assume that they are talking about New York or some big shopping center in Beijing. In today’s business world SOHO refers to “Small Office / Home Office,” a trendy development worldwide. The home-based business model has been born out of necessity.
Where do you place the home office? If you have the space, I highly suggest a room to itself. This allows you to close the door and separate your personal life from business. A corner in the living room, bedroom or attic is preferable if you do not have a separate room for your business.
You need to have the best professional atmosphere. It is very important if you have people working with you. Your employees don’t want to become a part of your family issues. It is fine to have employees in your home but just make sure you supply them with the best working atmosphere possible. Also, you may have to meet one or two clients who may come to your “office” in the lifetime of your business. You don’t want them to find a messy house with clothes and dishes and other things everywhere, do you?
So, be a boss of your own and be a happy SOHO. Are you ready?
(1) SOHO is actually the home-based business model.
