Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless (Wi-Fi) connection? Just recently, a man was arrested for doing just that. At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便攜式電腦) and using an unsecured(無安全保護措施) wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic? Listen to the following different views on it.
For a start, if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will affect your speed of access or download limit. Also, it’s bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally, just imagine this: what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity? I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.
— by Sandra Wilkins
Basically, if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, what’s the problem? It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book, or watching someone else’s firework display. It’s not stealing.
Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault(過錯) if someone else uses it. Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open. By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it. Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器). And finally, haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve? They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues. But this is just ridiculous(荒謬的).

Once again, rumors are spreading．Judgement Day, this time, is set to happen on December 21st, 2012．The date originated from the Mayan calendar, but actually gained popularity through the hit movie, "2012"．
How will the world end? And how do we know the exact date? There are many theories: A meteoroid from outer space; a solar storm; a shift in the earth's poles; bla bla bla．They all supposedly pointed to the date of December 21st, 2012．Unfortunately, none of it is true．
Zhu Jin, director of Beijing Planetarium, said, "For earth itself, the end will be billions of years away from now．And for us humans, there is a very small chance that we may be affected by some astronomical factors．However, we don't have the ability to foresee such events so far．So when someone tells you the world is going to end on an exact date, it must be fake．"
But the truth hasn't stopped people from believing．In the sci-fi movie "2012", the director imagined the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar．The film earned nearly 770 million US dollars worldwide. Ning Hong, Hebei Province, said．"The movie 2012 did get one thing right．There are arks eing made in China, But they're not being built secretly inside the mountains．They are constructed here in
the courtyard of a factory．"
In April, Liu Qiyuan quit his furniture business and devoted himself to developing these huge round balls．He doesn't believe the end is near, but he wants to be prepared just in case．
Liu Qiyuan, the "Ark" builder, said, "The concept originated twenty years ago．The Tangshan earthquake had flattened our house, so I wanted to build a shelter that wouldn't fall．Then in 2004, I saw the tsunami in Indonesia that killed so many people．Then I realized it should be something that could withstand the earthquake and float on water．"
Liu is hoping to use his invention as a life boat on the sea．He's planning to test his product on the water next year．
It turns out that rumour, though false, is good for business．Doomsday discounts and products are hot on many online stores．While it's surely attracted attention, many complain that it misleads consumers．
Their purpose is to promote products．If they believe the world is going to end．who would buy things? Money would be useless, too．
41．The purpose of the movie "2012" was .
A．to popularize scientific knowledge for the viewers
B．to make a profit from the viewers
C． to tell the viewers an interesting factual story
D．to warn the viewers of a disastrous event
42．The word "fake" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ．
A．a(chǎn) joke B．a(chǎn) lie C．untrue D．terrifying
43．Liu Qiyuan quit his job and built his "ark" because _________．
A．he believed that the world was going to end on Dec．21,2012
B．he was tired of making money from his furniture business
C．he was almost killed in Indonesia in 2004
D．he wanted to make preparations for destructive natural disasters
44．Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Ruinous were created by businessmen to promote their products．
B．The movie "2012" was very popular and a great many people watched it．
C．One theory said that the earth was to shift its two poles on Dec．21,2012．
D．Liu Qiyuan's ark was intended to survive earthquakes and terrible floods．
45．We can infer from the passage that _________．
A．Tune and time again people spread rumours about the world's end for one reason or another．
B．The Maya's prediction about the world's end has failed．
C．In the movie 2012 big arks were built secretly inside the mountains
D．Liu Qiyuan was bom before 1976 and is at least 36 years old．
