ld homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性 ). ―Homes in those days were wellbuilt,‖ they say. No doubt these homes were wellbuilt, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship. Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly mon in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old. One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts(精确切割 ) on the wood. Also, it is not unmon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs. The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material. 47.

Never respond before you think twice. B. Put personal files online. C. Don39。 t post anything without a second thought. D. Protect your private material. E. Establish your online identity and reputation. F. Express your anger in a proper way. The virtual world is full of opportunities to share with people around the world. It39。 s also a place where nothing is temporary and there are no take – backs.‖ A lot of what you do and say online can be got back online even if you delete it – and it39。 s an easy thing for others to copy, save, and forward your information. 51. __________ Anyone who accesses your profile on a social working site can copy or screen – capture information and photos that you may not want the world to see. Don39。 t rely on the site39。 s default settings. Read each site39。 s instructions or guidelines to make sure you39。 re doing everything you can to keep your material private. If someone logs on to a site and pretends to be you, they can trash your identity. Pick passwords that no one will guess (don39。 t use your favorite band or your dog39。 s birthday。 try thinking of two pletely random nouns and mixing in a random number), and change then often.

Not even your best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend should know your private passwords! 52. __________ Things that seem funny or cool to you right now might now seem so cool years from now – or when a teacher, admissions officer, or potential employer sees them. A good and reliable way is。 if you39。 d feel unnatural if your grandmother, coach, or best friend39。 s parents saw it, it39。 s probably not a good thing to post. Even if it39。 s on a private page, it could be copied and forwarded. 53. __________ Research shows that a high percentage of teens receive improper messages and requirements when they39。 re online. These can be scary, strange, and even embarrassing. If you feel troubled by a stranger or a friend online, tell an adult you trust immediately. It is never a good idea to respond. Responding is only likely to make things worse, and might result in you saying something you wish you hadn39。 t. 54. __________ If you are eager to let out an angry ment on a message board or blog, it39。 s a good idea to wait a few minutes, calm down, and remember that the ments may stay up (with your screen name right there) long after you39。 ve regained your temper and maybe changed your mind. You might feel anonymous or disguised in chat rooms, social works, or other sites – and this could lead to mean, insulting, or abusive ments toward someone else, or sharing pictures and ments you may later regret. We39。 re all heard of cyber bullying (网络欺凌 ), but most people think online bullying is something people do intentionally. But sharing stuff or dropping random ments when we39。 re not face to face with someone can hurt just as much, if not more. And it can damage how others see you if they find out. A good rule to remember。 if you wouldn39。 t say it, show it, or do it in person, you probably don39。 t want to online. 55. __________ Chances are, you3。
