to a state where long-range planning is essential. What we need is not a continuation of our presen serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems. This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly. This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need ti reassess our present course, to change that coursem and to devise new methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity. To grasp itm we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis confronting us-and the world -a crisis that is no passing inconvenience, no by product of the ambitions of the oil-rpoducing countries, no environmentalists mere fears, no by-product of any present system of goverment. What we face is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the worlds children and future generation. 55. Which condition does the author feel has nearly destroyed our cities? A)Lack of financial planning B)The breakup of the family. C)Natural disasters in many regions D)The excessive growth of motors 56. According to the author, what is one example of our loss of morality? A)Disregard for law C)Lack of cooperation. D)Exploitation of resources 57. By comparing past problems with present ones, the author draws attention to the A)significance of this crisis B)ina C)similarity of the past to the present D)hopelessness of tati 58.

Pa 3 More and more, the operations of our businesses, goverments, and financial insitutions and controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his purpose can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away wi thout punishment It s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a growing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crime that go undetected But it s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other secrity procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may been the victims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to puch extra cards. Investingation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Unlike othe lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to mputer criminals sometimes escape punishment demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too ofen, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the publicfound out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open courtof how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations ha needs to continue his crimes elsewhere 9. It is implied in the third paragraph that A)most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck B)the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem C)most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes D)many more computer crimes go undetected than are discovered 60. Which of the following is mentioned in the p A)A strict law against computer crimes must B)Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes. C)Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation. D)Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information 61.

Passage 3 More and more, the operations of our businesses, goverments, and financial insitutions and controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his purpose can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a growing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crime that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other secrity procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may been the victims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to puch extra cards. Investingation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too ofen, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the publicfound out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open courtof how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations ha needs to continue his crimes elsewhere. 59. It is implied in the third paragraph that _____ .
