The President Goes to School

Students in schools across the country also tuned in to watch the President's speech on TV. He stressed the importance of trying new things，working hard and believing in yourself.

Here are some tips on how to keep you，your belongings and your money safe during traveling. After all，it'd be a shame to spend all that time finding the best price for your trip，only to lose your cash and credit cards to a thief.
Don't let others know that you are new here.
You're a tourist. You know that，but you don't want anybody else to know that. Don't unfold your big map on a busy corner. Don't ask strangers on the street for directions. Learn your route ahead of time，and step into a business for directions whenever possible. Avoid flashing your Lonely Planet guidebook around，or publicly referring to your language dictionary when traveling abroad.
Keep your friends close and your money closer.
A lone traveler equals easy pickings for a seasoned criminal. If you are traveling alone，try to hide that fact. Stick with groups whenever possible and keep information sharing with chatty cab drivers and the like to a minimum.
Another thing you don't want to advertise：where you keep your money. A fanny pack(腰包) may be convenient，but it means “I'm not from around here！” If you have a purse，keep it close to your body，preferably under an item of clothing like a jacket or a sweater so that thieves can't steal it. Be sure that your wallet is in a securely fastened pocket. Or go like 007 with a hidden money belt. How cool is that?
Be careful，even in your hotel room.
Never blindly answer a knock at your door. If the knocker identifies himself as a hotel employee，call the front desk to confirm. Always make sure your hotel door completely closes when entering or exiting.
Don't leave your valuables lying around when you leave for the day. That hotel safe is there for a reason!
1.Why shouldn't tourists wear a fanny pack?
A．Because it shows that you are not a person around here.
B．Because it is not convenient.
C．Because it can't be hidden under your jacket.
D．Because it can't hide money.
2.Why does the author mention 007's money belt?
A．To persuade readers to learn from 007.
B．To persuade readers to buy the belt worn by 007.
C．To persuade tourists to hide money in their belt.
D．To persuade tourists not to show others where you keep your money.
3.Who is this passage written for?
A．Locals.B．Tourists.C．Hotel owners.D．Thieves.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. When traveling abroad, you shouldn't open your language dictionary in public areas.
B. Try your best to travel alone.
C. If you hear a knock at your hotel door，go to open it.
D. You can leave your money at the hotel when traveling.
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior，but when you are asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't quite sure of yourself.
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment，but you don't raise your hope too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up，you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive(防卫的). You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. You're usually careful. You trust yourself. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry.
1.According to the passage，a person，who is not willing to change his mind probably sleeps ________.
A．on his sideB．on his back
C．curled upD．on his stomach
2.If a person prefers to sleep curled up rather than on his back，he maybe want to ________.
A．do things personallyB．stay alone
C．keep things secretD．trust others easily

A．one's sleeping position has something to do with one's character
B．everyone has got both real and secret personalities
C．the position in which one goes to sleep is the most important one
D．when awake，one does not show one's secret personality
During a career planning class, Brenda Fabian asked how many students use Facebook, a popular online networking community for college students. Almost everyone in the room raised a hand.“Then I asked how many knew that employers are reviewing Facebook for hiring purposes，”says Fabian，director for Center for Career Services at Susquehanna University.“No hands were raised, and their faces revealed the students' surprise.”
Although some parents do keep track of their teen's online activities，most teenagers don't realize that websites may be monitored by schools，prospective(未来的) employers or anyone else who might be interested in the teenager's lifestyle not just today but anytime in the future.
Most of us don't realize that the information that gets posted on the Internet may be deleted，but it doesn't disappear permanently.“The stuff is there forever，”says Jamie Riehle，director of Web Publishing at Lycos.“It is backed up (备份) on servers and doesn't go away.”
As company recruiters，college admission officers，law enforcement personnel and parents become more Web savvy (有见识的)，it becomes even more vital for teenagers to be cautious when posting any information on their websites. Even though sites that are private can be seen only by a preselected list of friends，there are companies that，for a fee，can dig deeper into cyberspace(网络空间) and find anything. Even government officials who thought that deleting email would exonerate(宣布……无罪) them from wrongdoing are discovering that，on the Web，there is no such thing as private or gone forever.
Steven Rothenberg，president and founder of College-Recruiter.com，suggests that teenagers think of their Web posts as tattoos（纹身）. “Inherently(内在地)，there is nothing wrong with them if they are private，”he says.“But if they are visible or offensive, it can affect the way others see you.”
1.The information posted on the Internet ________.
A．can be deleted easily
B．can't be deleted completely
C．usually falls in the hands of employers
D．remains for a long time
2.What do we know about sites that are private?
A．They are owned by some companies.
B．They charge people for viewing them.
C．They can keep the information a secret.
D．They are not so private as supposed.
3.The second paragraph implies that ________.
A．one who posts negative things may have their employment affected
B．a teenager should not write about his lifestyle online
C．it's hard for parents to keep track of their teen's online activities
D．the Internet is becoming more insecure
4.Steven Rothenberg believes that ________.
A．teenagers should not be allowed to post anything online
B．teenagers should keep their information private online
C．teenagers should be cautious about their posts online
D．teenagers should be monitored online
