Chuquicamata,my host community,is a mining camp. When I arrived there,I was scared. It was so
different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets,and there was no downtown,few smoothly paved streets,and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often,earthquakes and
windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn"t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from
increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲)．I was required to overcome all
difficulties.
As time passed,everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and
love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math,physics,chemistry,biology,Spanish,art,and philosophy.
But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in
another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
B. experiencing Chilean life as a teacher
C. studying Chilean culture as a college student
D. studying knowledge as an exchange student
B. Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.
C. Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.
D. Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.
B. had some friends to have a chat with
C. couldn"t communicate with people
D. couldn"t express his thoughts in English
B. Difficult but meaningful.
C. Difficult and meaningless.
D. Boring and disappointing.
B. It is a developing country without foreign students.
C. It seldom rains and natural disasters often happen.
D. Most Chileans are not friendly to foreigners.

| "Get your hands off me, I have been stolen, " the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken. The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer"s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind. Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow "lost or stolen" sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本) of the software, users can also send a spoken message. The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. "One customer sent a message saying, "You are being tracked. I am right at your door", " said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever. In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop"s speakers will say, "Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now." The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password prompt if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details. If a thief accesses the Internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the Internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location. Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply. Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer. 1. The expression "to give the thief a piece of their mind" can be understood as "________". A. to give the thief an alert mind B. to express the owners" anger to the thief C. to remind the thief of his conscience D. to make the thief give up his mind 2. Different from other security software, Retriever can ________. A. record the stealing process B. help recognize the lost laptop C. lock down the computer remotely D. send a spoken message 3. One function of the program is that it allows the owner to ________ at a distance. A. change some access details for switching on the laptop B. turn on the laptop by using the original password C. operate the laptop by means of an alternative password D. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop 4. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage? A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year. B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft. C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers. D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief. 5. What does the word "it" in Para. 4 refer to? A. The alert message. B. The computer. C. The program. D. The laptop. | |||
