One of the greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking. 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 commonly considered 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 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 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 31.What should be the main title of the passage?
A. Hackers and Computer Security B. Funny Things Hackers Do
C. Famous Hackers D. Good Ways to Stop Hackers

Question 33. What do hackers do to get into a computer?

C. making a new password D. spreading viruses
Question 34. Which of the following can NOT be inferred about active hackers?
A. They make use of the hacked information. B. They deactivate the protocols in computers.
C. They are more warning than passive ones. D. They take over the computers systematically
Question 35. What is the easiest way to protect a system?
A. Using a long and unusual password B. Avoiding online services
C. Sharing passwords D. Using the same password everywhere
Question 36. The word "assesses” in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ____________.
