5、computing systems and global computing infrastructure. Fortunately, such and many other frightening predictions did not come true. Surely, technology is the prime reason for this achievement but at the core lies the work environment and the human factor. We have seen that IT leaders in almost all ar
6、eas have enormously reduced their expenses by adopting winning solutions provided by todays security vendors. Does this mean technology a lone is sufficient to deliver? No, in the truest sense, policies, their enforcement, along with education and training provide a winning combination to secure cor
7、porate computing. As far as technology is concerned, due credit goes to security vendors and service providers for shielding users in many ways, from desktop antivirus software to integrated security appliances. Also, myths about the role played by operating systems in security have finally died out
8、. Almost all OS(计算机操作系统)vendors(供应商) such as Microsoft, IBM, Sun, Red Hat, etc. have earned trust and recognition with their installed systems, suggesting that security is not a feature of an operating system. The recently conducted 2003 Info World Security Survey of more than 500 IT executives and
9、strategists reveals that around 49 percent of reader respondents felt confidence in their systems-performance with 52 percent observing fewer than 100 attempts against their, networks in the past year. This highlights the role of policies, enforcement, and positive culture in shielding away security
10、 breaches. In todays IT culture, playing a black-hat is no longer desirable; rather it leads to quick apprehension and strict punishment with years to be spent behind the bars. Alternatively, one can earn both career and recognition by helping out the industry with ways and means of fighting securit
11、y breaches and hostile attacks - this way of looking into the matter is rapidly gaining support by many. Training is another important concern for IT leaders-it includes training to avert human error and improve overall security practices. Unfortunately, a large part, 79 percent, of InfoWorld 2003 S
12、ecurity Survey respondents felt their corporation employees and users underestimated the importance of adhering to their companys security policies. Its critical not to underestimate the role of sound security practices since employees and users shape the needs for enterprise services. Two other ele
13、ments must also be kept in consideration: rigorous education and awareness of security requirements and significant number of staff to monitor and enforce security practices in the enterprise, the need for which is stronger than ever since many enterprises today handle security internally. All this

The population of these islands triples or quadruples in the summer, but in the winter, only the very independent, self-reliant types rem
19、ain. Matinicus is an island one mile wide and two and a half miles long. There are only forty-five winter residents. After the tourists have gone, many of the year-round residents gather for conversation at the islands post office and store located at the only traffic light on the island, at the int
20、ersection of two gravel roads. People on Matinicus dont stay home to watch television though reception on the island is excellent. There are no central electric utility lines, so each home uses a diesel (柴油) generator as a power supply. Diesel fuel is expensive, so the residents are very careful abo
21、ut their use of electricity. Most of the winter people are fishermen, lobstermen, storeowners and their families. They still enjoy a way of life largely the same as life in the early twentieth century. Women knit and get together to visit and talk while sewing clothes; children read or play games to
22、gether because their television viewing is limited. There are only six children on the island in winter, so they all attend a one-room schoolhouse, where grades one through eight are taught by one teacher. The most common method of transportation is the mail ferry. It comes to the island everyday in
23、 the summer but in the winter it only stops at Matinicus twice a week. Because everything must be shipped to Matinicus by ferry, many goods, such as school supplies, are quite scarce, and the goods that are in good supply are more expensive than on the mainland, for the expense of ferrying them is a
24、dded by the storekeepers. All fuel averages ten cents a gallon, more on Matinicus, so most of the islanders use wood to heat their house. The spruce on the island doesnt burn well, so, the winter people pay from $90 to $250 for load of wood to be delivered. The one form of transportation faster than
25、 the ferry is the Coast Guard helicopter. In an emergency such as an accident or sudden illness, the helicopter can reach the island in a little less than half an hour. Other islands are more accessible, of course. Vinalhaven and Peaks are very short ferry rides away from the mainland, and Peaks is
26、even within the city limits of Portland. But most of the tiny islands are like Matinicus and its sister island Monhegan miles away from the mainland. They offer a secluded, hard life that the winter people lovefew ever leave these islands. （分数：88.50）(1).In the summer, the number of people on Matinic

30、orado River in a boat. Our expedition included many highly successful people-the kind who have staffs to take care of lifes daily work. But in the wilder rapids, all of us naturally set aside any pretenses and put out backs into very stroke to keep the boat from tumbling over. At each nights encampm
31、ent, we all hauled supplies and cleaned dishes. After only two days in the river, people accustomed to being spoiled and indulged had become a team, working together to cope with the unpredictable twists and turns of the river. I believe that in life-as well as on boat trips-teamwork will make all o
32、ur journeys successful ones. The rhythms of teamwork have been the rhythms of my life. I played basketball alongside famous players, and the team I now coach, the New York Knicks, has recovered from years of adversity to become a major contender in the 1990s. Im persuaded that teamwork is the key to
33、 making dreams come true. We all play on a number of teams in our lives - as part of a family, as a citizen, as a member of an agreement, written or unwritten. It contains the values and goals for every team member. For example, in the late 1970s a General Motors plant in Fremont, Calif, was the sce
34、ne of constant warfare between labor and management. Distrust ran so high that the labor contract was hundreds of pages of tricky legal terms. GM spent millions trying to keep the facility up to date, but productivity and quality were continually poor. Absenteeism was so out of control that the prod
35、uction line couldnt even start up on some mornings. Finally in the early 1980s, GM shut down the plant. GM became convinced that it had to create new production systems based on teamwork. In the mid-1980s it reopened the Fremont plant with Toyota, starting from scratch with a much simpler and shorte
36、r labor contract. It promised that executive salaries would be reduced and jobs performed by outside sellers would be given to employees before any layoffs were considered. Over a hundred job classifications were cut to just two. Instead of doing one boring job over and over, worked agreed to be par
