Currently, there are no unified international rules for maintaining Internet security. China has called for unified international rules against Internet crime. Last year China and some other countries handed in a draft Code of Conduct on Information Security to the UN.
World leaders and experts discussed the possible Internet threats facing the world. They agreed that the only way to deal with Internet security threats was to trust each other and strengthen cooperation. The threats cannot be solved by any one country alone. And for these reasons, countries would have a greater chance of trusting each other in dealing with such threats.
Though great efforts were made to issue common regulations for the Internet, few results have been achieved yet. There's still a long way to go for unified global Internet security rules and regulations.

Of the many problems in the world today, none is as widespread, or as old, as crime. Crime has many forms, including crimes against property, person, and government. Crime, in all its forms, penetrates every layer of society and touches every human being. You may never have been robbed, but you suffer the increased cost of store- bought items because of others’shoplifting.
Your house is not worth as much today as it was a few years ago because of the increased crime rate in your neighborhood. Perhaps your business is not doing as well as it used to because tourism is down due to increased terrorism in your part of the world.
Crime, especially violent crime, has risen to a point where many people are afraid to walk al one in their own neighborhoods, afraid to open their door after dark, afraid to speak out and voice their own opinions. Some citizens have reacted by arming themselves with various weapons, legal and illegal, to defend themselves. Citizen groups have taken the law into their own hands by forming their own vigilante groups to administer judgment when they feel that their criminal justice system has not performed its duty.
Experts argue whether the number of crimes committed is actually on the rise or whether there is simply a rise in the number of crimes reported. This issue is particularly true in cases of marriage violence, the abuse of spouse or children. Throughout much of history, cases of family violence and neglect often went unreported because of the attitude of society, which considered family matters to be private.
Other experts argue about who is really to blame for criminal behavior. the individual or society. Researchers in the United States and Canada have identified several factors in society that contribute to the crime rate: massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population. Other countries are more affected by factors such as politics, government corruption, and religion.
(1)What does the passage mainly discuss？

A、the crime of lifting the ban
B、the crime of moving the shops away
C、the crime of robbing things from shops
D、the crime of stealing things from shops
(3)Why does the author in Paragraph 2 mention citizen groups forming their own vigilante groups？
A、To show the criminal justice system is not just
B、To show citizens are powerful in combating crimes
C、To show crime is a serious social problem
D、To show citizens have rights in combating crimes
(4)According to the passage, which of the following are the factors contributing to United States’criminal behavior？
A、Politics, unemployment, poverty and a large immigrant population.
B、Massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population.

A、Since you have never been robbed, you are not a victim of crime.
B、Some people use illegal weapons to defend themselves.
C、Only the individual should be responsible for the criminal behavior.

Crime is a very serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile delinquency—that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years juvenile delinquency had been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crimes: stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.
These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.
There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everyone knows everyone else.
Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences the young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.

B. young people in Britain today are freer than before
C. too many young people have come to live in big cities
