"Get your hands off me. I have been stolen," the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft; a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the laptop: a red and yellow "lost or stolen" sign appears on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version of the software, users can also send a spoken message.
The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. " One customer sent a message saying, ’ You are being tracked. I am right at your door’," said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.
In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speaker will say, "Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.
The Retriever software package, which costs $29. 95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password prompt if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
If a thief accesses the Internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the Internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.
Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, and with the use of laptops increasing, the number of stolen laptops while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.
The expression "to give the thief a piece of their mind" (Para. 2) can be understood as "________".
选项
A、to give the thief an alert mind
B、to express the owners’ anger to the thief
C、to remind the thief of his conscience
D、to make the thief give up his mind
答案
B
解析
根据第二段第一句“The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. ”可知,该程序允许用户在丢失的电脑屏幕上显示警报,甚至可以设置语音信息。再结合第一段第一句中的语音信息“Get your hands off me. I have been stolen”和第四段第二句中的语音信息“You are being tracked. I am right at your door”可推知,这些信息都表达了物主内心对窃贼的态度和看法。由此可推知,to give the thief a piece of their mind在此处可以理解为“物主向窃贼表达他们的愤怒之情”。故选B。
