Microchip Research Center CreatedA research center has been 1 in this Far Eastern country to develop advanced microchip production technology. The center, which will start out with about US $14 million, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.The center will make use of its research skills and 2 to develop new technology for 3 chip plants. The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the 4 that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country"s flagship chipmaker. 5 , chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don"t allow them to 6 the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for 7 purposes. Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology providers are also an important 8 for their decision of self-reliance.As mainstream chip production technology 9 from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with 10 equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be 11 by the maker.More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of US dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment 12 and technology owners—mainly 13 Japan and Singapore.Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits the US $14 million investment is still rather small. This country is developing 14 technologies. Most of the investment will be spent on setting 15 with technology and intellectual property owners.

Earth Angels1 Joying Brescia was 8 years old when she noticed that cigarette butts (烟头) were littering her hometown beach in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. When she learned that it takes five years for the remains of a cigarette to disintegrate (解体), she decided to take action. Joying launched a "No Butts on the Beach" campaign. She raised money and awareness about the need to keep the beaches clean. With the help of others, Joying also bought or received donations of gallon-size plastic ice-cream buckets. The buckets were filled with sand, and placed at all public-access areas of the beach. The buckets allowed people to dispose of their cigarettes before hitting the beach. Two years later, Joying says the buckets are full and the beach is nearly free of cigarette debris (残片).2 People who live in or visit Steamboat Springs, Colorado, have Carter Dunham to thank for a new state wildlife refuge that preserves 20 acres of marshland and many species of wildlife. Carter and other students wrote a management plan for the area around the Yampa River. The plan was part of a class project when Carter was a freshman at Steamboat Springs High School. Working with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Carter and his classmates mapped the area and species of animals living there. They also made decisions about, among other things, where fences and parking areas should be built.3 Barbara Brown and her friends collect oil. It started as a project for their 4H Club after one of the girls noticed her father using motor oil to kill weeds on their farm in Victoria, Texas. They did some research and discovered that oil can contaminate ground water—a real danger, in rural areas, where people live off the water on their land. The girls researched ways to recycle oil and worked with a local oil-recycling company on the issue. Now, the "Don"t Be Crude" program runs oil-collection sites—tanks that hold up to 460 gallons—where people in the community can dispose of their oil.4 Five years ago, 11-year-old Ryan Hreljac was a little boy with a big dream for all the people in Africa to have clean drinking water. His dream began in the first grade when he learned that people were dying because they didn"t have clean water, and that as little as $70 could build a well. "We really take water for granted," says Ryan, of Kemptville, Ontario, in Canada. "In other countries, you have to plan for it." Ryan earned the first $70 by doing extra chores (零工), but with the help of others, he has since raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. His efforts led to the start of the Ryan"s Well Foundation, which raises money for clean water and health-related services for people in African countries and developing countries. Joying placed the buckets at all public-access areas to ______. A. make new materials B. preserve wetland and animals C. have clean air D. have clean water E. collect cigarette butts F. collect disposed oil

HackThe first big-name hackers included Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds, all now highly recognizable names behind many of the computer technologies used today. These early hackers had a love of technology and a compelling need to know how it all worked, and their goal was to push programs beyond what they were designed to do. Back then, the word hacker didn"t have the negative connotation it has today. The original hacker ethic, rooted out of simple curiosity and a need to be challenged, appears to be dead.The objectives of early hackers are a far cry from the goals of today"s hackers. The motivation of the new breed of hackers appears not to be curiosity, or a hunger for knowledge, as it used to be. Instead, most of today"s hackers are driven by greed, power, revenge, or some other malicious intent, treating hacking as a game or sport, employing the tools that are readily available via the Internet.The rate of security attacks is actually outpacing the growth of the internet. This means that something besides the growth of the Internet is driving the rise in security attacks. Here are some realities you should know about: Operating systems and applications will never be secure. New vulnerabilities will be introduced into your environment every day. And even if you ever do get one operating system secure, there will be new operating systems with new vulnerabilities—phones, wireless devices, and network appliances. Employees will never keep up with security policies and awareness. It doesn"t matter how much you train and educate your employees. If your employees disregard warnings about the hazards of opening questionable e-mail attachments, how are you going to educate them about properly configuring firewalls and intrusion detection systems for their PCs Managers have more responsibility than ever. And on top of the realities listed above, security managers are being asked to support increasing degrees of network availability and access. There are some good security measures you can take: Employ a layer 7, full-inspection firewall. Automatically update your anti-virus at the gateway, server and client. Keep all of your systems and applications updated. Hackers commonly break into a website through known security holes, so make sure your servers and applications are patched and up to date. Turn off unnecessary network services. Eliminate all unneeded programs. Scan network for common backdoor services—use intrusion detection systems, vulnerability scans, anti-rims protection. Which of the following is NOT in accord with the passage
A. New vulnerabilities will be introduced into your environment every day.
B. If employees disregard warnings about the hazards of opening questionable e-mail attachments, the manager should educate them about properly configuring firewalls and intrusion detection systems for their PCs.
C. Managers have more responsibility than ever.
D. Security managers are asked to support increasing degrees of network availability and access.
