Passage Three
This week some big Internet sites were so busy that they stopped working. Hackers or people who break into other people’s computers did it. Experts think programs called Tribal Village or Trinoo were used.
The programs worked like time bombs. The hackers put software on other people’s computers. The people do not even know. The software just sits and waits until the hacker starts it. When the hacker wants, all the computers call the same web site. This week Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, CNN, Buy, eTrade and zNet were called.
The costs are growing. These web sites make money from advertising. People go to the web sites for information and news. If the web site is not working, they will go to other sites.
Yahoo got many calls. It was like 104-million people dialing in at once.
The website AntiOnline put the software on its site. They hope someone will make a fix.
The only way to stop the hackers is to stop them
A. stores on the web
B. large commercial web sites
C. small commercial web sites
D. public government web sites

Passage Three

People don’t use their middle names very much, So "John Henry Brown" is usually called "John Brown". People never use Mr. , Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr. , Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.
Sometimes people ask me about nay name. "When were you born, why did your parents call you Jim" they ask. "Why did they choose that name" The answer is they didn’t call me Jim. They called me James.

B. it's easier for people to call him
C. it's the name that his parents chose for him
D. it's more difficult than James
