We all enjoy a little extra-special every now and then, whether it's a prime table at our favorite restaurant or an upgrade on that long flight across the Pacific. Being recognized makes us feel valued and we're more likely to do business with someone who takes the time to go that extra mile. E-commerce sites know this, and they're doing everything they can to create personalized environments so we'll want to spend money online. How? By employing cookies.
Cookies are bits of data stored on your computer's hard drive when you visit a website. They can only be read by the site that sets them. Companies use them to store information about you and to track your behavior on a particular website and, of course, your shopping habits.
Cookies help companies personalize their websites. This is how an online bookstore knows you're you. or how a news website knows to show you headlines from your hometown. Retailers use cookies to promote products they think you might like or to target ads that you might find appealing. Cookies also record user IDs and passwords so you don't have to log in each time you visit a site.
Cookies, however, have a darker side too. and all kinds of privacy issues lurk at every bend. On their own, cookies are generally harmless, if mildly intrusive. One potential problem, though, crops up when you enter personal information on a survey. This can be easily linked up with cookies about your surfing habit and the website knows pretty much everything there is to know about you. Often this information is used simply to show you an advertisement for a product you might want to buy. But privacy advocates worry that this information could be misused.
Here's what you can do as online shopper to protect your privacy:
Accept only cookies that get sent back to the originating server. Both Microsoft Explorer and Netscape Communicator offer this option.
Shop only with sites that post online privacy policies.
Be careful about what sort of information you give out in surveys.
Set up a secondary profile using an anonymous e-mail account and bogus ID. It's clandestine, but you'll surf with greater anonymity. Of course, when you actually want to buy something you'll have to give out your real name and address.

大自然對人們的恩賜,無論貧富,一律平等,所以人們對于大自然,全都一致并深深地依賴著。尤其在鄉(xiāng)間,上千年來人們一直以不變的方式生活著。種植莊稼和葡萄,釀酒和飲酒,喂牛和擠奶。鋤草和栽花;在周末去教堂祈禱和做禮拜,在節(jié)日到廣場拉琴、跳舞和唱歌;往日的田園依舊是今日的溫馨家園。這樣,每個地方擁有自己的傳說,風(fēng)俗也就延傳了下來。
SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Translate the following underlined part of the TEXT into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
The word "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.
Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don't pretend to have all the answers. They I listen to others; evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.
Winners do not play "helpless", nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.

PART IV
Section A
Nature does the same favor to every human being, whether rich or poor. So all the humans put on the nature deep dependence, especially in the countryside, where people have been living the same life for thousands of years. They plant crops and grapes, make wine to drink, feed the cattle and milk the cow, weed and plant flowers. They go to church at weekends, and play music instruments on the plaza in the festivals, dancing and singing. The previous rural farms remain today's sweet home. In this way, each area has legends of its own and the customs passed down.
Section B
想像中自己應(yīng)該是什么樣的,成功者沒有將生命消耗在這種信念上。相反,他們活得有自我,因此,不絞盡腦汁矯揉造作,不試圖將他人玩弄于股掌之中。他們知道,真心關(guān)愛和虛情假意之間、真傻和裝傻之間、真才實學(xué)和佯裝有才之間界線分明。成功者無需面具掩藏自我。
成功者勇于獨立思考,敢于展示才華。他們能將事實和觀點區(qū)分開來,不假裝全懂。他們聽人進言,并權(quán)衡利弊,從而得出自己的結(jié)論。他們會欽佩他人,但他們從不為其所羈絆。
成功者不表現(xiàn)出無助,也不怨天尤人。相反,他們對生活盡職盡責(zé)。
PART V
The Most Important Personal Quality of a University Student
Everyone has one or more dreams. But it is much easier to set an aim than to realize it. In the course of obtaining success, we need a number of helps, either external or internal, and the personal qualities are of superior importance. Among the qualities, such as smartness, honesty, confidence, the most important one, in my opinion, is diligence.
We are sure to encounter a number of difficulties on the way to success. On the one hand, we must hold on. On the other hand, we should make efforts to find the best solutions as soon as possible. We have to force ourselves to know more, do more, sweat more. Only working industriously can assure us of a good result.
Being industrious means more work and less relaxation. So diligent people will complete their tasks in a shorter time than others. They will get more information and experience in their work. In the long run they will do their job better and better. Diligence also means broad knowledge and good public relationship. No one will look down upon an industrious person, and no employer will promote an idle one.
In addition, industry is a merit of our Chinese people. It is also a stimulus to Japan's recovery from the disaster of World War II • It is needed to realize our aims and to make our country more prosperous.
