Global warming threatens to hold back human progress, and make unachievable all UN targets to reduce poverty, according to some of the world’s leading international development groups.

In a report published today, Oxfam, Greenpeace, Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, WWF and 15 other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even “unbearable levels” of worldwide poverty.

“Food production, water supplies, public health and people’s living environment are already being damaged,” the report says. “The world must meet its promise to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change.”

The report, which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50 years, says poor countries will experience more flooding, declining food production, more disease and the worsening or disappearing of entire ecosystems on which many of the world’s poorest people depend.

“Climate change needs to be addressed now. The poor will bear the burden of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather conditions.”

Climate change will play havoc (浩劫) with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the proportion of the world’s population living in countries of great water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit — those countries already suffering from food shortage”.

Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political confusion, will displace millions of people and destabilize (不安定) many countries.

83. Who should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions?

A. International groups.       

B. Rich countries.

C. Poor countries.            

D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries.

84. Which of the following is not true according to the text?

A. Poverty and climate change are closely linked.

B. More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage.

C. What the poor countries need badly is high technology.

D. International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate.

85. What is the best title of the passage?

A. International Development Brings in Climate Change

B. Global Warming Is a Bigger Threat to the Poor

C. International Groups Work Together to Reduce Poverty

D. Worldwide Poverty Shall Be Avoided

It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies(欺負(fù)) go to make other kids a miserable school life, but a new study suggests that classrooms are another popular place.

The study, presented recently at the American public health association’s yearly meeting in Philadelphia, is based on the results of research from more than 10,000 middle-school students who answered questions online.

Of those researched,43% said they’d been physically bullied within the last month. A bit more than half said they’d been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names. About one-third said groups had excluded(排斥) them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings had been taken or broken; 21% said someone threatened to hurt them. According to the results, two-thirds of the students said they’d been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.

The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they’d missed school at least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied. 25% said they’d taken other actions, such as missing recess(課間)，not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of the school to escape from experiencing a bully.

It began as a game: high school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer gifts soon gained the nickname "hackers （黑客）".

Police arrested a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One hacker was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later used a prison phone to change a police officer's credit records to get back at （報復(fù)） the officer for arresting him. The hacker also used a computer to change his college records to give himself better grades.

As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one plan, a hacker instructed an airline's computer to give him free airplane tickets.

The U.S. government is worried hackers may break into its complex networks of defense computers. The government's classified secrets are vulnerable （脆弱的） because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can tap into.

In November 1988, a college student tapped into a non-classified U.S. Defense Department computer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected （輸入，注入） a computer program that left copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use each "virus " to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in （自首） to police and told them how to get his program out of the computer system. He was charged with a crime.

The incident attracted computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers.

The U.S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers. It fears a hacker could inject a virus into military computers that would clean up all the data during a war.

Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most brilliant minds in the U.S. will be working to ruin the efforts of computer hackers and spies.
