Five People You Meet in Heaven

When a lonely and elderly man dies in an accident, he awakens in an unfamiliar place called Heaven where five people, some strangers, some loved ones, take him on a clear journey through his life. Each soul has a story to tell, a secret to reveal, and a lesson to share. Through them Eddie learns “l(fā)essons”, finds out why certain events happened in his physical life, and understands the meaning of his own life. The book explores the unexpected mysteries of the afterlife by reminding us what really matters here on earth.

Marley&Me:Life and love with the world’s worst dog John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They brought home Marley, a yellow fur-ball of a dog. Life would never be the same.

He shared the couple’s joy and heartbreak. He was there whenever the couple needs help. Marley&Me is so much more than the story of a lovable dog; it’s the story of a family.

【題目】Microsoft Windows XP support ends: How to update? If you’re still running Windows XP what do you do now? This doesn’t mean that computers running the operating system will stop working, but it is likely that the computer will be attacked by hackers as the company stops providing security-updates and technical support for Windows XP.

Generally speaking, you have two new choices: Buy a new computer or update to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. If you’re not ready to make a change, there are things you should do if you’ll still be on XP over the next couple of months.

Firstly, make sure the software you have is as up-to-date as possible. That means having any security fixes you can’t get from Microsoft’s website and make sure that you’ve got some (non-Microsoft) antivirus software installed(安裝) from other websites. Of course, if you want to keep really safe then you’d better stay off the web altogether, though for many users this won’t even be a choice. Another choice is to change from using an administrator account to a limited account for tasks, like checking your e-mail. This means that if a hacker attacks your computer, at least they won’t have administrator-level access.

However, we have to stress that these steps are just temporary(臨時(shí)的) measures and aren’t enough to protect your computer in the long run. Whether you’re buying a new computer or simply updating your present operating system depends on yourself. You’ll have to choose between Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Whichever you go for, you’ll need to check that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for either system. For either Windows 7 or 8.1, you’ll need at least a computer with 1GB of RAM, 1GHz processor and 160GB of hard disk space. However, to run a better operating system, you’ll need a computer with over 4GB of RAM, a 2GHZ processor and 500GB of hard disk space. Buying a new computer with these functions, you may pay more than$500.

If you’re still planning on updating, Microsoft offers some great guides on their own website, meaning that you can download your new operating system and copy all your old files without leaving your computer. Windows 7 is certainly better than Windows XP, but you should be aware that it is also an ‘old’ operating system. Microsoft Company will add more updates to Windows 8.1 over time, while Windows 7 will also come to an end before long just like XP.

【1】‘Microsoft Windows XP support ends’ means that _________.

A. the operating system of Windows XP will stop working

B. Microsoft stops providing technical support for Windows XP

C. people must install other websites’ antivirus software for Windows 7.

D. people must buy a new computer and update to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1

【2】To prevent a hacker from attacking your computer, you’d better NOT_________.

A. update your computer

B. stay off the web altogether

C. use an administrator account

D. install some antivirus soft wares

【3】From the fourth paragraph, ___________is a better choice in the long run.

A. buying a new computer as Windows XP support ends

B. updating your present operating system to protect your computer

C. having a new computer with at least 1GB of RAM, 1GHz of hard disk space

D. choosing a new computer with over 4GB of RAM and 500GB of hard disk space

【4】From the passage we can conclude that __________.

A. hacker attacks will happen more often in the future

B. an operating system develops quickly as time goes by

C. a new computer will be more expensive than it used to be

D. people tend to use security fixes except Microsoft Company’s
