Have you ever seen lions dancing in the streets? The lions dance to the beat of a drum (鼓). Of course, they are not real lions. They are dancers in lion costumes (服饰). Lion dancing first started in China centuries ago. It is meant to bring good luck in the coming year.

Usually, a lion is made up of two dancers. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail.

“I think of it as a sport,” says Anthony Huang, aged 16. He is a member of the New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club. Anthony performs (表演) as the lion’s head. It can weigh 20 pounds. Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says.

In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. LionDanceMe is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together.

“Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl.

Lion dancing will continue to evolve. But a team’s sense of community will never change. “We call it a family,” Ananda says, “It’s really great, because we always have each other’s backs.”

(1). Why do people perform lion dancing?

A．	To sell lion-dancing costumes.	B．	To wish for a lucky new year.
C．	To protect the lions in the wild.	D．	To show skills of playing the drum.

(2). Which role does Anthony play in lion dancing?

The lion’s head.

The lion’s tail.

(4). What can we infer (推断) from Ananda’s words “We call it a family”?

C．	They live together in a big family.	D．	They support each other like a family.

Recently, many people think it’s risky to use credit (信用) card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack (攻击) is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing”.

Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing”, and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait (诱饵) in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and websites to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may make as many as 5% of the people believe and give away their personal information.

It’s really a big problem! Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only 5% of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.

Amy, 18, from California, received an email. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The “thief” used Amy’s Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money.

How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent (紧急的) requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false, statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is.

(1). Phishing is compared to ________ according to the passage.

making money

playing games

catching fish

writing emails

(2). Which writing skill is used in Para. 3?

Giving examples.

Listing numbers.

Raising questions.

Using sayings.

①to move from one place, school, job etc to another

②to connect the call of someone to someone else’s

③to move money from one account to another

④to change from one bus, plane etc to another

①

(4). Besides introducing what phishing is, the writer also tells us how to ________.

A．	help to catch phishers	B．	reply to urgent emails
C．	pay by credit card	D．	protect ourselves online

Katie’s father was at the airport waiting to meet her. She was going to spend a week with him, and usually she really enjoyed their visits. But this time was different: her dad was getting married, and Katie wasn’t at all sure if she liked the idea.

On the way from the airport to her dad’s house, Katie almost kept silent. Finally, her dad asked, “Do you want to talk about it, Katie?”

For a moment, Katie sat silently. Then she said, “I’m sorry, Dad. I just don’t think I want you to get married.”

“I thought you liked Celia,” Katie’s dad said.

“I do like Celia” Katie answered, “It’s not that at all. I just don’t know if I want her for a stepmother—that’s totally different.”

“It really is different,” her dad agreed, “But I hope you’ll get to like having Celia as a stepmother. She likes you a lot, you know, and I’ll bet Megan will, too.”

“Who’s Megan?” Katie asked. She hadn’t heard that name before.

“She’s Celia’s daughter,” her dad replied, “She is your age, actually, so maybe you’ll even have something in common.”

After dropping Katie’s luggage (行李) off at her dad’s house, Katie and her dad went to meet Celia and Megan at a restaurant. They were going to have dinner together. When they got to the restaurant, Celia and Megan were already there. Celia introduced Megan to Katie. At first, Katie didn’t know what to say to Megan. But then, Megan said, “Mom, don’t forget I have swimming practice tomorrow.”

“You like to swim?” Katie asked hopefully.

“I love it—I’m on our school swimming team,” Megan answered excitedly, “Do you swim?”

“I love to swim, too” Katie said with a smile. Maybe having Celia as a stepmother wasn’t going to be so bad after all.

(1). How did Katie feel about her dad’s getting married at the beginning of the story?
