Would you give your Social Security Number to the clerk at the grocery store? Of course not, right? Yet, if you’re like most people, you wouldn’t hesitate to give out a different, but equally important number to the same person.

Experts now say that your cellphone number may be more pivotal than any other personal information in the eyes of spammers (垃圾邮件发送者) and identity thieves. In other words, instead of handing it out, you should guard that cellphone number with your life.

Today, your cellphone number will likely be with you for a very long time. That means if spammers get your cellphone number, it will be much harder to get rid of them. It also means that over the years, your cellphone number will be linked to a lot of personal information—from contact lists（通讯录) to bank card numbers, all information that hackers（黑客）would love to get their hands on.

A few years ago, German security researcher Karsten Nohl showed what he could obtain using only a person’s cellphone number. California Congressman Ted Lieu was given a new cellphone for a day and Nohl was given that cellphone number. Using just that number, Nohl was able to find Lieu’s location and movements throughout Los Angeles, read his emails and text messages, and record phone calls between Lieu and his staff. And Nohl did all of this from his office in Berlin using just a cellphone number.

Still think it’s a good idea to post your number on a noticeboard?

It’s safe to assume that Nohl is an expert when it comes to hacking, but even the ordinary thief can use your cellphone number to cause harm to you. When you sign up for an account online, you usually provide your email address and a password (密码). But if you forget that password, many of these companies will send you a password retrieval code (检码）via your cellphone. Let’s say you post something for sale online and you include your name, email, and cellphone number. You’ve now given a potential thief everything he needs to hack into any of your online accounts. Therefore, it just makes sense to protect yourself by guarding that number as closely as you would guard any other personal information.

1.What does the underlined word “pivotal” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A.Accessible. B.Familiar.

C.Important. D.Manageable.

2.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A.Why people should protect their cellphone numbers.

B.Why people seldom change their cellphone numbers.

C.How to protect our personal information.

D.How to get rid of spammers.

3.What did Karsten Nohl’s show intend to prove?

A.Nohl is a real expert in hacking.

B.It’s necessary to fight against hackers.

C.Lieu’s new cellphone has powerful functions.

D.It’s easy to hack information via cellphone numbers.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.It’s a good idea to sell something online.

B.It’s necessary to register several accounts online.

C.It’s common for people to forget their passwords.

D.It’s risky to post your cellphone number online.

My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts. At one point, two women quarreled for several minutes after colliding in the freezer section.

Things got worse at the checkout line.The cashier scanned a man's discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting intentionally and began to argue.

Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who took him to customer service. Shaken , she moved to the next customer in line.

We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. My reaction when I see them is both personal and professional.　 I am a data analyst and sociologist who studies how and why people interact with one another--or why they choose not to. To me, the grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has faded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith — starting with just one person.

Therefore, my wife and I reached the disturbed cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. We learned her name was Beth.

“We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said.

Beth’s face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items.She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.

That is the balancing act, the moment of countering social and emotional pain with healing, that will add up to restore trust across the United States. You can start that pattern in someone else's life , even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.

1.By describing the arguments, the author wants to show__________.

A.the job as a cashier is not easy. B.people in the U.S are unfriendly.

C.arguments in public are very common. D.confidence in each other has worn off.

2.How did Beth probably feel when the couple gave her a bottle of water?

A.Sad and regretful. B.Sorry and wronged.

C.Cheerful and rewarded. D.Grateful and relieved.

3.What's author's attitude towards Americans' regaining trust?

A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic.

C.Uncaring D.Cautious

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.A Miserable Cashier. B.A Helping Hand.

C.Learning to Trust Again. D.Starting a new life.
