Mark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.

Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten most widely visited sites on the internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.

Many other companies have been rumored (谣传) to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He stands behind his dreams at the very beginning. He knows the value of the company could fall down; however, he is in this to build something unbelievable, not be bought out by another company.

Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies, like Microsoft or Google, want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15 billion dollars if Mark decides to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.

A. members B. advertisements

C. pictures D. students

2.Terry Semel was the CEO of ______.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took out full-page ads in British and American newspapers on Sunday to apologize for the Cambridge Analytica scandal（丑闻）, admitting the quiz app built by a university researcher that leaked（泄漏）Facebook data of millions of people was a “betrayal of trust”.

Since the scandal broke, the public has become more aware and concerned about how their online behavior may be used for purposes to which they have not agreed. It emphasizes the urgent need for better protection of personal information.

To better protect personal data privacy（隐私）, targeted laws are needed. More effective cooperation should be carried out to protect people’s privacy online as soon as possible.

Countries, such as the United States and China in particular, which are global leaders in the use of big data should accelerate legislation（立法）on how it can be collected and for what purposes it can be used.

At the same time, a closer watch should be kept on the world’s major internet companies, such as Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu to ensure they do not acquire unnecessary personal information or misuse the information they obtain. Despite the huge challenge such personal data protection may pose to their established profit-making models, these companies should know that the more powerful they are, the bigger responsibilities they shoulder.

Strengthened efforts for personal privacy protection do not mean that big data must not be used, but that it is used appropriately. Big data is like a mountain or gold, and overemphasis on its security at the expense of its use will undoubtedly waste a valuable resource. The key problem is how to promote its use while guaranteeing people’s privacy to be protected.

1.Why did Mark Zuckerberg make an apology in British and American newspapers?

A. Because he didn’t behave well.

B. Because Facebook data was sold.

C. Because users’ personal information was leaked.

D. Because university researchers used Facebook data.

2.What measures should government take to better protect personal data?

A. Make and pass laws.

B. Punish illegal behavior.

C. Promote communication.

D. Limit the use of data.

3.According to the last paragraph, which of the following may the author agree to?

A. It is difficult to protect data.

B. Big data should be used properly.

C. The use of big data should be banned.

D. People have strong awareness of data protection.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Facebook Scandal

B. Mark Zuckerberg’s Apology

C. Good, Bad and Ugly of Big Data

D. Big Data: an Important Fan of Our Life

5.Which section of a magazine is this passage probably taken from?

Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a-year-long and highly public battle with cancer. Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday. The Apple.com homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011".

A message on the site read, "Apple has lost an imaginary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring leader."

"His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."

"Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple." The Silicon Valley hero who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone had resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August, handing the position to current chief executive Tim Cook.

Two years before the iPhone that forever transformed the way people around the world access and use the Internet, Jobs talked about how a sense of his death was a major driver behind that vision.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever got to help me make the big choices in life," Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony in 2005. "Because almost everything－all others' expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure－these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

1.According to the passage, which statement of Steve Jobs is RIGHT?

A. Steve Jobs was the present CEO of Apple.

B. Steve Jobs was thought to have great talent.

C. Steve Jobs had no idea about his death before.

D. Steve Jobs fought against cancer for a year secretly.

2.What can we learn about iPhone from the passage?

A. People can use it to do anything they want.

B. It can teach people how to surf the Internet.

C. People can learn the spirit of Apple from it.

D. It can change the way people use the Internet.

3.In Jobs's speech in Stanford, we can learn that ________.

A. to make great achievements, you must lose everything

B. people should try to achieve everything regardless of death

C. people who will be dead soon must make big choices in life

D. in the face of death, nothing is truly important except to follow your dream

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Steve Jobs changed the world.

B. Steve Jobs died on Wednesday.

C. Who will be the next Steve Jobs?

D. Steve Jobs, the greatest American CEO.

Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the  greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56,  after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer. Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world.

Steve Jobs made technology fun. As tech leaders, they're really happy if they have one hit in their life. Steve Jobs has the Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.

Steve Jobs was a college dropout. He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant. They supported his early interest in electronics. He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer—now just called Apple—in 1976. They stayed at the company until 1985. That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.

Mr. Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer. He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT, He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today. However, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August, 2011 because of his health. He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement. Steve left behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

President Obama said in a statement: by building one of the planet's most successful companies from his garage, Steve Jobs showed the spirit of American ingenuity (独创性). By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible but intuitive (直觉的) and fun.

The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really astonishing. He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, so one of the greatest of all time. Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology, he also revolutionized American business. Steve Jobs was remembered as a " great visionary and leader" and a marketing genius.

1.What does the underlined word "dispute" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

2.According to Paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _____.

3.Which of the following statements about Steve Jobs is NOT TRUE?

4.How long did Steve Jobs work for Apple?
