As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than ever. One of the
greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking.
Computer hacking is the unauthorized access to a computer or network of computers. Hackers are people
who illegally enter systems. They may alter or delete information, steal private information, or spread viruses
that can damage or destroy files. But how exactly can a hacker get into a system to do these things?
Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software. These protocols allow
computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like computer police officers. When a computer
connects to another system, the protocols check to see if the access is valid. The protocols can also determine
how much information can be shared between the two systems. Hackers can manipulate the protocols to get
unlimited access to a computer system.

In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking. This is commonly called passive
hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access a challenging system like a bank or military
network. Another kind of hacker tries to do damage to a system. After hacking into systems, these hackers
release viruses or alter, delete, or take information. Known as active hackers, they are, by far, the more
dangerous of the two.
The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password. Long and unusual passwords are harder for
hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services now use “password-plus” systems. In this case,


users first put in a password and then put in a second code that changes after the user accesses the site. Users
either have special cards or devices that show them the new code to use the next time. Even if a hacker steals
the password, they won’t have the code. Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still don’t know the
password.
Question 30. What is the main idea of this reading?
A. famous hackers
B. funny things hackers do
C. hackers and computer security
D. good ways to stop hackers
Question 31. What do hackers do to get into a computer?
A. spread viruses
B. change security programs
C. make a new password
D. manipulate codes
Question 32. What is NOT considered hacking?
A. releasing a virus
B. illegally accessing a computer
C. turning on a private computer
D. changing unauthorized information
Question 33. Why are active hackers probably considered more dangerous than passive ones?
A. active hackers are more skilled.

B. passive hackers have more intense personalities.
C. active hackers do damage.
D. passive hackers are caught more easily.
Question 34. The pronoun “They” in the second paragraph refers to _______________.
A. Systems
B. Hackers
C. Computers
D. People
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
They sad that parenting is the most important ‘job’ in the world. Undoubtedly, it is also one of the most
difficult. In a world, where imagination and creative outlook are becoming more and more important to a
person's success, preparing children for life as a successful member of today's society can be an extremely
challenging task.
If you or someone you know if struggling to find the best way to raise well-balanced and creative kids, the
most important thing you can do is encourage children's interests and help them find things they are good at.
Here are a few tips that might help along the way.
First, limit TV and videogame time. Encourage your kids to play using their imagination to create their own
games or role plays. Don’t limit playtime. Free playtime is important for children to develop and discover their
own creativity.
Get involved in playtime, but let your child take the lead. By following their head, children can gain
confidence in their own ideas. They may not be doing something the most efficient way, but that us not the
point. Just have fun and let them figure it out. Don't tell them they are doing something wrong. There is no
status quo in playtime.
Expose your children to the arts early on. Encourage them if they have an interest in taking music, dance, or
art lessons. Take them to local children’s theater productions, museums, and art galleries, as well as musicals,
concerts, and ballets when they are ready.
Try to provide inspiration in your home. Fill your house with music and art of all kinds. Keep a box full of
old clothes, wigs, and fabrics. Encourage your kids to play dress up. It really is a good way to get the
imagination going, and it lets kids be creative in putting together interesting costumes and making up characters

to go along. Make sure kids have a supply of basic art supplies on hand. The key here is ‘basic’. Children do not
need expensive, high-tech tools to become creative-quite the opposite. Simply buy the basics and a couple of
books with art and craft ideas made from recycled items found around the house.
Listen to your children. Let them know you like their ideas. Everybody can be creative, and many children
have hidden talents. Let your child try different things until they find what they are good at. Every child is good
at something; the key to good parenting is finding what your child is good at and supporting them.
There are so many different forms and outlets for creativity. If you want to raise creative children, all you
need to do is encourage them. Sometimes that means doing a little research and trying a few things to help them
find what they like. And sometimes it means leaving them alone to play.
