　　yourself up to receive all kinds of blessings and good things in life. You can receive almost everything you want

　　. If you want recovery soon, start by feeling grateful that you are still

　　[2016·惠州市二调]Every year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there's spyware on their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.

　　Don't fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here's how.

　　● Clean Your Computer and Smartphone

　　Before you put new 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. These days, it's also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.

　　● Secure Your WiFi

　　It's fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they're able to share your connection — that's why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it's a good idea to refresh your settings.

　　● Use passwords

　　What you've heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.

　　● Check the shopping security

　　Take care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密)

　　is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random e­mail and start shopping online.

　　Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.

　　Don't store information on any store's website. It may be convenient but it's also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.

　　[2016·河南开封摸底考试]Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coming in, more and more people are sitting around a table, enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.

　　Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience. It's a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.

　　Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening's entertainment， and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many Westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.

　　A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.

　　For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me it's like a dinner party where my taste buds (味蕾) and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.

　　本文阐述的是为什么吃火锅在中国如此受欢迎，并对中西方的饮食作了简单的对比。

　　5．What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China?

　　A．It has a history of over 1,000 years.

　　B．It is a fun social experience.

　　C．It serves people with many kinds of foods.

　　D．It keeps people very warm in winter.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第一段的各种反问以及第二段首句“火锅的设计不仅仅是用来取暖的，而且它也是一种social experience”可知。

　　6．We can conclude from the article that British people generally

　　.

　　A．enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants

　　B．prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot

　　C．don't like sharing food with others in restaurants

　　D．don't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据第三段“When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although...”可知答案选C。

　　7．How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal?

　　A．More than four hours.

　　B．Over one hour.

　　C．About three hours.

　　D．All the evening.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours.”可知。

　　8．What is the author's attitude to hot pot?

　　A．Serious. B．Tired.

　　C．Humorous. D．Appreciative.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。综合作者对火锅的描述“a lot of fun, evening's entertainment, my appetite are equally satisfied...”可判断，答案是D。

　　1．traditional adj. 传统的

　　2.social adj. 社会的

　　3．entertainment n.

　　娱乐

　　4.similar adj. 相似的

　　5．appetite n. 胃口；食欲

　　1．put off 推迟

　　2.sit around 闲坐着；无所事事

　　原文：This allows people to have their meat done however they want.(have＋宾语＋宾补)

　　译文：这就允许人们想怎么做肉就怎么去做。
