Unit-8-Computers-and-Security课文翻译大学体验英语二
Unit 8 Computers and SecurityPassage A You Are the Weakest Link, Goodbye.Do you remember the good old days? Innocent times spent sharing documents and executable files without a care in the world. Okay, every month or so you might encounter a boot sector virus - but they were easy to deal with even if the anti-virus software didn't pick them up.But those long lazy summers disappeared too fast. Macro viruses made Information Technology (IT) administrators grow up fast as they realized there was a type of virus which could spread very quickly throughout an organization. It wasn't unusual to find hundreds of computers within personal company infected by viruses transmitted via email attachments. The IT staff were amongst the fittest departments in your company, running from Personal Computer (PC) to the next cleaning them up.There had to be a better way. Companies now realize that viruses aren't "urban myths", and can have a serious impact on their operations. They invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines.It sounds like companies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. But have they?Anti-virus software detects most of the viruses your users are likely to encounter - often without the user even knowing. However, the software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large company. Even then, a very new virus can infect your users. With the rapid transmission of files through networks and the Internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. Fortunately, only a few viruses ever do this but the likes of Melissa and the Love Bug can inflict serious damage before their progress is stopped. Whilst employees become suddenly aware during the ensuing media excitement, they soon forget about the virus threat as the stories disappear from the news headlines.This is the danger. Complacency can set in when there is no perceived "action" on the virus front with no global crisis, and the importance of being vigilant about viruses recedes in your users' minds. They forget what the big deal was in the first place - after all, the anti-virus software deals with the viruses, doesn't it? And isn't it the IT department's job to look after this sort of thing?Before you know it your users are opening unsolicited attachments once more, downloading unauthorized software, and putting your company's data and credibility at risk. All because the users think that they are working in a safe environment. Employeessee anti-virus software, firewalls and IT departments as guarantees that their computers will work and will be safe. Of course, there aren't any guarantees. Anti-virus software plays one, albeit important, part in the defense of your company from malicious attack but the security of your computer system is only as strong as the weakest link. And that, more often than not, is the human factor.No employer wants to come across as a killjoy or an ogre. Most will willingly accept that the happiest employees are those who feel that they are respected and trusted by their employer. Many companies accept that employees will send and receive a certain amount of personal email and make the odd personal telephone call.However, the worry comes when employees start risking company security in pursuit of personal amusement. Funny screensavers and games downloaded from the Internet can seem harmless enough but they could easily be harboring a dangerous virus.Software downloaded from the net is often unlicensed and unsupported, and may cause conflicts with existing software in use at your company. Unlicensed, pirated software is an ideal vector for a computer virus. Virus writers and hackers often use such software as the ideal "kick-start" for their virus distribution.It is vitally important that employees be educated about the virus threat but this cannot be a one-off event. The potential threat should always be in the back of an employee's mind and precautionary measures should be taken as a matter of course. There is no harm in reminding people about what could happen if they let their guard down. In the end, education is the key to a virus-free environment and this is a continual process. It may not be the most exciting thing on the agenda but it works.The lesson is simple. You can have the best software in the world protecting your company's defenses; you can even be the biggest IT company in the world; but without your users practicing safe computing they will always be the weakest link.PA 你是最薄弱的环节,再见还记得美好的往日时光吗?在那样的纯真年代,我们共享文档和可执行文件,根本没有半点顾虑。

I have worked as a sales representative in Germany, the US and Poland over 15 years. I joined Fast-Track one year ago. I get a good sales record in my previous jobs. In my first year with Fast-Track my sales results have been satisfactory. I can speak fluent German, English and Polish.I know that the subsidiary’s recent sales results were poor. Sales revenue was 30% below target. I think one of the important reasons is the previous manager have no clear strategy for developing sales in the area. If I am successful, I will try to solve the problem.your signatureEvaI think the rank is c-b-d-a and country C is the most suitable location for the new jeans factory. The following is my analysis:8% per year is Country C’s growth rate and 10% is inflation rate. There are not much skilled labor available. They have very strong unions in the clothing industry. The wage rate is low but rising fast. The first tree elections for a democratic government were held last year. The interest rates are 4%-6% and the unemployment rate is 12%. There are limits on the profits which companies can take out of the country. Not much paperwork required for importing and exporting goods. There is a strong protest movement against international companies, which are accused of harming local firms. It’s small but well-managed airport and the road network needs investment.Country B’s interest rates are 8%-10% and the unemployment rate is 3%. It has a international airport but no seaport. There is a modern industrial country with many manufacturing industries. There are not a lot of skilled labors available, but they have strong unions. The wage rates is high. The country has a stable government. There are strict new laws on pollution. It’s so cool that here are no tax incentives for building new factories. The business tax is very high. It has a fully integrated road and rail network. It is a member of a large trading group.Compared with country B and C, Country D’s growth rate is 4% per year and inflation rate is 5%. 8%-12% is his interest rates and the unemployment rate is 12%. The government has started a big investment program for the transport system. It will take 5-10 years to complete. The government encourages the privatization of industry. There are large supplies of skilled workers, but they are not used to working long hours. They have strong unions but the wage rate is low. A lot of paperwork is required for new businesses. There are problems air and water pollution. Profits are tax free for the first three years after a factory has been built. Companies must pay 5% of their profits into a fund for training their workers. The government has started a big investment program for the transport system. It will take 5-10 years to complete.And the last one is country A. Country A’s growth rate is 2% per year and inflation rate is 5%. The government will contribute 30% towards the cost of a new factory. It has good rail network but poor roads and new international airport. The main seaport is in poor condition. There are unskilled labor available and a lot of training needed for jeans production. They have no unions in most industries. The country has a lot of debt and is trying to modernize its economy. The interest rates are 10%-15% and the unemployment rate is 25%-30%. The country has a military government. Bribery is common.

第二单元PassageA鼠标轻点,美梦成真还有不到一个月就要毕业了,特里萨·史密斯还没找到合适的工作,她就读于位于伊利诺州埃文斯顿的西北大学。
就业指导中心建议这位文科生去查查JOB-TRAK网站,该网站上列出了45,000个初级水平的职位。
史密斯选择了四个关键词:Chicago(芝加哥),business(商务),marketing (营销),full time(全职)。
她马上就找到45个工作合乎她的标准,其中一个是芝加哥商业学院行政助理。
四个星期以后,她得到了这份工作,底薪32,000美元。

但是出于好奇心,他决定“试试看”。
图尔斯填写了一份简历,关键词是market manager(行销经理),并输入了自己的电子邮箱地址。
不到一个星期,他的邮箱里就塞满了可供选择的职位。
他去了两家公司面试,然后就跳槽了。
“有了因特网,就像雇了一个私人助理,”图尔斯说。
“你可以毫不费劲地留意到一些机会,让你的事业上一个新台阶。

She had a boyfriend living in a city 40 miles away from our town. They often traveled between the town andthe city to see each other. One day my cousin finished all her work early. So she decided to go and see her boyfriend. She went to the bus station and managed to get on a crowded bus. Just 15 minutes after the bus pulled out of the station, it collided with a truck. The collision was so serious that the bus caught fire and was immediately engulfed in a ball of flames. The fire was horrible and it was quick. Two passengers were burned to death instantly. All the others sustained serious injuries. Of them, my cousin was the most seriously injured. She lost consciousness for over 20 days and she looked so frightened. Later, under the care of the doctors and family members, she survived. But she had to have a series of operations. It was really a nightmare.10 Write a paragraph of around 80 words describing the air disaster befalling the United States figure skating team. The beginning and the ending have been provided for you.But towards the end of the trip, something went wrong with the plane.

He circled the airport and prepared to try again. But, in the second try, he suddenly increased the speed and pulled the plane into a steep climb. In an instant, the plane hit the ground and exploded in a ball of flamesPassage BThink About It1 One of the calamities the students probably know is the terrorist attack of the World Trade Center in the U. S. on Sept. 11, 2001, which resulted in the loss of several thousands of lives.2 One should try to make an emergency call for help, either to the police station, or to the fire brigade, or to the medical ambulance center.3 Calamity is one of the critical moments to test a person’s true courage and ability to face and conquer difficulties.Read About ItContent AwarenessRead And Think11 Work with your partner and answer the following questions.1 She was not worried because they lived at the end of a dead-end street where vehicles couldn’t pass through.2 Engineer Campana slammed on the train’s brake and blasted the air horn, while conductor Falzo rushed out of the cab and hung over the front of the train, waving and shouting at the kids.3 When she heard the air horn and the screech of the train’s brake, she was aware that something was wrong with her children.4 At the last possible instant, he leaped from the train, took two giant strides and grabbed them.

W: In my opinion, watching the news on TV is a good way to learn English.

You know, many lovers tend to avoid revealing their private life to employers. They are simply shy or fear being rejected for doing so.W: But things are changing.

Meanwhile, working with other colleagues will be easier.W: Anyway, young lovers should think carefully before deciding to work together.

W: Erm, what a sort of young man have you got in mind?M: Oh, you know, a good education, polite, responsible, and easy to get along with.What I don‟t want is on e of those young men just out of university, with exaggerated ideas of his own importance.W: Yes, erm, what sort of education are you actually looking for?M: Well, you know, a couple of A levels. Must have English, of course.W: Yes, I think you‟re asking quite a lot. I mean you‟re not really prepared to pay all ...M: No, I‟m not prepared to give him a big salary to start with. Nevertheless, I want someone with plenty of ambition, plenty of drive. You know, not looking at the clock all the time.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23.What is the purpose of running the ad?24.What kind of person will meet the job requirements?25.Why doesn‟t the man prepare to pay a big salary to start with?Section B:Passage OneHonesty is often said to be the best policy in social situations but being yourself at work is not a good idea for your career, research suggests.While revealing your true character to a partner or friends is likely to make you happier, experts claim doing so at the office is not a recipe for promotion.Scientists assessed levels of “authentic self expression” in 533 volunteers to see how far they opened up to people they interacted with socially.The results showed that participants were more likely to “be themselves” with partners, followed by friends and then parents. However, they were much less likely to show their true self to work colleagues.Those who opened up to their partners tended to have greater well-being and were more satisfied with life. But the same benefits were not seen from being authentic at work.Dr Oliver Robinson, from the University of Greenwich in London, said: “You hear self-help gurus say that the secret of happiness is …being yourself‟ or …expressing your true feelings‟, but that doesn‟t seem to apply in the workplace.”“So in some circumstances, it may be that a polite smile or tactfully keeping quiet may be more conducive to your well-being than saying what you actually think and feel to work colleagues.”The results were presented at the annual meeting of the British Psychological Society, taking place in London.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. How many volunteers did the scientists assess?27. Whom were the participants much less likely to show their true self to?28. Where did the annual meeting of the British Psychological Society take place? Passage TwoAmericans hate their jobs more than ever before in the past 20 years, with fewer than half saying they are satisfied.The trend is strongest among workers under the age of 25, less than 39 percent of whom are satisfied with their jobs.Workers age 45 to 54 have the second lowest level of satisfaction, according to a survey conducted by The Conference Board, a market information company.Older people like their jobs more. Nearly half of all workers over 55 are satisfied with their employment situation.Overall, dissatisfaction has spread among all workers, regardless of age, income or residence. Twenty years ago, the first time the survey was conducted, 61 percent of all Americans said they were satisfied with their jobs, according to the representative survey of 5,000 U.S. households, said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board‟s Consumer Research Center.Money rarely buys happiness but it can buy job satisfaction. People making under $15,000 per year reported the lowest satisfaction while those making more than $50,000 per year said they were the most satisfied.People living in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are the most dissatisfied, with less than 41% percent saying they are satisfied with their current job, and people living in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico were most likely to whistle while they work (56 percent reported being satisfied).Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. Which group of people is most dissatisfied with their jobs?30. According to the survey of 5,000 U.S. households, how many Americans weresatisfied with their jobs twenty years ago?31. What can money buy according to the passage?32. Which of the following areas is not among the ones that people are mostdissatisfied to live in?Passage ThreeLeading British companies recruited fewer graduates in 2012 than 2011, according to a study of 100 top companies, the first drop in three years and an indicator of continued economic uncertainty in the corporate sector.There were 0.8% fewer graduate-level jobs among the 100 companies, with the biggest reductions at investment banks and accounting firms, according to the report by a specialist market research company, High Fliers.There is mixed news for those leaving university this year and currently buried under applications forms. On a positive note, the companies surveyed said they expected overall vacancies to nudge up by 2.7% this year. However, such is the competition for places, virtually all will be taken by graduates with sometimes extensive experience on work placements or holiday work, very often at the same company.Those who do get jobs this year will earn an average starting salary of £29,000, unchanged for a fourth straight year but still some way above the UK average full-time wage of £26,500. This does, of course, vary between sectors, with newlyminted investment bankers starting on an average £45,000 while those in the public sector earn about £22,000.Overall, however, the picture remains somewhat gloomy for those already leaving university with huge debts–the expected 2013 vacancies remain 11% lower than the pre-recession level of 2007.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What is the main idea of the passage?34. Which sectors underwent the biggest reductions in graduate-level jobs?35. What‟s the average starting salary of persons who do get jobs this year?Section C: Spot DictationJob (36)hunting can be a difficult process. If you have recently been fired or (37)laid off, then you may still be trying to (38)sort everything out. It‟s only (39)natural to feel downhearted. With the recent downturn in the economy, we have all had to face (40)hardship in one form or another. Like it or not, you are probably confronted with a (41)crossroads in your life and may not be sure of which road to take or if there even is a future road.The good news is that there is a future road and you‟ve just (42)stumbled upon the best road map to help you find your way. You also still have a job. It‟s a new job and one that you may not be (43)accustomed to, but the payoff can be phenomenal. The task is (44)your job search and the payoff will be your new job. Since this is a relatively new process for you, the best way (45)to get started is to jump right in. There will always be time for reflection and looking back when you are further down the road. Right now (46)you just need to get started on that road. Enjoy your job search experience. Your destination is a job!。

Unit 7 Family TiesPassage A Things I Learned From DadThree successful people reveal how fathers shape their destiny.Rebecca Lobo: Be LovingI knew - even when I was very young - just how much my mom and dad loved each other. Whenever one of them went out, they kissed each other good-bye. My brother, sister and I thought this was gross! But when I get married, I can only hope that I will have found someone who loves me as much as Dad loves Mom. Because there was always so much love in the family, I grew up with an incredible security blanket.Mom battled breast cancer when I was in college. Despite his worry, Dad was a pillar of strength for us and especially for her. After her mastectomy, she decided against the added trauma of breast-reconstruction surgery. Mom told me that in their entire marriage Dad never suggested that she even change her hairstyle. Instead he has always told her how beautiful she is. And that's why she thinks fighting cancer wasn't as hard as it could have been. She knew that no matter what, Dad and his love would be there. Rebecca Lobo, a former College Player of the Year, plays basketball for the WNBA's New York Liberty.Richard Branson: EncourageMy sisters and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized, but used praise to bring out our best. He'd say, "If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don't give them water, they die."I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, "Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it's a reflection of you." He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. I've tried to follow this principle in running my company.Dad's also always been very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine.I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway me from my decision, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, "Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I've always regretted it. I wanted to be an archeologist, but I didn't pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill that dream."As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a nationalmagazine for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I'd like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me.Richard Branson is chairman of the Virgin Group of Companies, which owns Virgin Atlantic Airways, Virgin Entertainment and Virgin Cola.John Lewis: Have Hope As a young boy, I used to complain about having to get up so early to work on our farm in Troy, Ala. One day my father took me aside and said, "Son, we have to do this in order to make things better. Hang in there and things will improve."Dad was an optimist by nature, and he instilled in me this concept of hope about the future. He also taught us that we couldn't just be concerned about our own circumstances. We also had to be concerned about others.I saw my father always giving and always sharing. We didn't have that much to share or to give, but he had faith that things would work out-even under tremendously difficult conditions. There was a lot of fear back then in Alabama. Segregation was very rigid. Water fountains for us were marked "Colored," and we could only walk on one side of the street. But somehow he survived under these circumstances without becoming bitter, angry or hateful.My father passed away in 1977. But if he had lived to see my election to Congress he would have been very proud and happy. I'd like to believe that he's looking down and watching me today.John Lewis represents Georgia's 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives.PA 父亲的教诲 三位成功人士讲述父亲怎样塑造我们的人生。
