34、r is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents point of view, the only cause of t

36、 first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.

48、 Christopher Columbus Museum.D “Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable（便携式的）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（警报）on
49、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 laptop missing by visiting to a website,
50、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.
51、“One customer sent a message saying, You are being tracked. I am right at your door,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive (主管) of the company which produces the program, Retriever. In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptops speakers will say: “Help, this laptop
52、 is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, please report me now.” The Retriever software package(软件包), which costs $29.95 (21) but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thi
53、ef 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 w
54、ith 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（删除）data remotely or lock down the computer.67. The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” can be understood as “_”. A. to giv
55、e the thief an alert mind B. to express the owners anger to the thiefC. to remind the thief of his conscience D. to make the thief give up his mind68. Different from other security software, Retriever can _. A. record the stealing process B. help recognize the lost laptop C. lock down the computer r
56、emotely D. send a spoken message69. 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 inform
57、ation kept in the stolen laptop70. 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
