"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.
Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
选项
A、With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.
B、A new kind of software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.
C、Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.
D、A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.
答案
B
解析
通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一款笔记本电脑的防盗安全软件Retriever,并主要陈述了其通过语音信息防盗的新功能。因此B项(一款新软件为减少笔记本电脑被盗提供了一个方法)最能概括本文的主要内容。A项(没有Retriever,每年成千上万的笔记本电脑被盗)说法太过绝对;C项(Retriever已经帮助找到了窃贼和丢失的电脑)在文中并未提及;D项(一个新程序提供了一个和窃贼沟通的平台)不符合文章内容。故选B。
