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
14、program allows users to display alerts on the missing computers 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
15、 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 matte
16、r 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 laptops spe
17、aker 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 if they fe
18、ar 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
19、 offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out has been rising sharply. Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer. 31The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind”can be understood as “_”. Ato give
20、the thief an alert mindBto express the owners anger to the thiefCto remind the thief of this conscienceDto make the thief give up his mind32Different from other security software, Retriever can _. Arecord the stealing processBhelp recognize the lost laptopClock down the computer remotelyDsend a spok
21、en message33One function of the program is that it allows the owner to _ at a distance. Achange some access details for switching on the laptopBturn on the laptop by using the original passwordCoperate the laptop by means of alternative passwordDerase the information kept in the stolen laptop34Which
22、 of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?AWith no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year. BA new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft. CRetriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers. DA new program offers a communication platform with the
23、 thief. B Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal.Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or
24、 lesser degree.For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time on “small talk”， usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job.In many European countrieslike the UK or Francepeople fi
25、nd it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortabl
26、e silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europ
27、e, cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.Peopl
28、e from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.35In some countries, eating together at restaurants
29、may make it easier for people to_.Adevelop closer relations Bshare the same cultureCget to know each other Dkeep each other company36The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_.Athe English prefer to make long speechesBtoo many words are of no useCpeople from Thailand are quiet and
30、shy by natureDeven talk and silence can be culturally different37According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?ABy sharing different ways of life. BBy accepting different habits.CBy recognizing different values. DBy speaking each others languages.38What would be the best title for the text?AMulticultural Environment BCrossCultural DifferencesCHow to Understand Each Other DHow to Build Up a Relationship
