Three months after the government stopped issuing(發(fā)放) or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security (安全) concerns, some café owners are having financial(經(jīng)濟(jì)的) concerns of their own.

The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the . government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhigh­way, but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.

“I handed in a request to open up an Internet cafe and received the conditions. ” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45, 000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SRI 00,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes. ”

Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop with­out coffee. "I’m avoiding closing the place, but it's been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is,” Obeidallah said “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”

The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet ca­fe, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.

“I did all that was asked and rented a place . And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me , saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can't even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80,000, "Al-Harbi added.

As for the government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way, but security concerns come before profit (盈利).

Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cochran, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School, did something unforgettable. On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.

The kids came into the first period. They walked in, and there were no desks. They looked around and said, "Ms Cochran, where are our desks?" And she said, “You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.”

They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades.”

"No," she said.

"Maybe it's our behavior."

And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior."

Second period, the same thing. Third period... By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochran’s class to find out about this crazy teacher.

The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom." she said, "Now I'm going to tell you."

Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And when they finished placing those desks, those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks.

Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it!"

1.Why did Cochran take all the desks out of the classroom?

A. Because she wanted to punish the kids.

B. Because she wanted to let kids know how they earned the desks.

C. Because kids didn't need any desks at her classes.

D. Because the desks were all broken.

2.Who get kids to have a chance to get education?

A. Teachers. B. The headmaster.

C. Kids themselves. D. Kids’ parents.

3.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?

A. Kids finally understood what their teacher meant by themselves.

B. The headmaster supported Ms. Cochran’s idea.

C. Kids studied without desks on the first day.

D. Kids' parents earned the desks for them.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015屆福建清流第一中學(xué)高三上第一次階段英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

One day I was walking home along the street with my iPod on, when suddenly my headphones(耳機(jī)) were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck, saying “Just be quiet.” I was being attacked, and this man’s arm was gripping (緊夾) onto me! I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying: “Be quiet.”

My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying: “Come on now, I know you are stronger than that!” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.

I have never had any self-defense(自衛(wèi)) training, but I went for it—I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(脛骨)! He let go of me and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me, I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby drugstore.

I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs. “I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home, two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.

After my experience, I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better, but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.

The fear isn’t totally gone—after all, the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.

1. How did the author get rid of the man?

A. Her great-grandmother came and helped.

B. She used all her strength to pull him off her.

C. Her loud scream scared the attacker and people came to help.

D. Her great-grandmother’s words gave her the strength to defend herself.

2. After the author escaped from the man, _________.

A. she called the police

B. she called her mother

C. she screamed to get more attention

D. she looked back to remember his appearance

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The accident left no influence on the author now.

B. The attack made the author more confident in a way.

C. The author Suddenly remembered some self-defense moves.

D. The author was so frightened that she did nothing to fight back.

4. What might be the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To show the importance of self-defense training.

B. To warn teenagers of possible dangers on the way to school.

C. To show how brave she was while she was being attacked at that time.

D. To share her experience and tell us that we are perhaps not as weak as we thought we were.
