The greatest advantage of Internet banking perhaps lies in the fact that customers are no longer required to wait in those long and tiresome queues in banks to request a financial transaction(交易) or statement. Another important advantage of Internet banking is that it has made the opening of an account quite simple and easy and without much paperwork. You can also apply for bank loans without personally visiting any local branch of your bank.
With the help of Internet banking, you can access any information regarding your account and transactions, any time of the day. This means that you no longer have to depend on the financial hours of your bank to obtain information. In addition to this, fund transfers, both national and international, have also become faster and convenient with Internet banking. Nowadays, you can transfer funds from one account to another within a few minutes. You can easily carry out stock trading, exchanging bonds(债券)and other investments with the help of Internet banking. All these features have made Internet banking ideal for people who make a number of financial transactions each day.
In addition to offering banking facilities(装置)for 24 hours a day, you can also receive other important information regarding banking policies, rates of interest offered on different types of bank accounts and formalities required in making various transactions. With such information you can compare the services of different banks and opt for the one that satisfies your individual needs and requirements.
However, there can be some serious disadvantages of Internet banking, of which the security of your bank account is the most important one. So while using the facilities of Internet banking, you have to be very careful to ensure the security of your computer and personal information. Though banks have come up with several security measures, the customers are also required to be a bit careful to ensure security and safety of Internet banking.
56．With Internet banking, you can do all the following EXCEPT .
A．applying for bank loans
B．carrying out exchanging bonds

A brush (接触) with death can actually improve a person’s outlook（观点）on life. That, at least, was one of the major findings of a study of some 200 people who come close to dying. Some had come through heart attack; some had fallen, come close to drowning; or survived a terrible car wreck, yet despite the variety of circumstances, they reported strikingly similar reactions to their experiences.
Perhaps most surprisingly, many said they were less frightened of death now than they were before. Like most people, before their near-death incidents many had thought death would be painful, the ultimate horror—but they did not find it was.
Surviving a nearly fatal experience also gave many people a sense of invulnerability (不能伤害) that made them feel special and even religious. Several believed they had been saved because they were to fulfill some special mission in the remainder of their lives.
Perhaps not so surprisingly, these survivors also reported an increased zest for life and a determination to enjoy life more.
A few of the survivors did report negative reactions to their experience. A dozen said they felt more vulnerable（脆弱的）, and some even felt a sense of helplessness and a loss of control over their lives. Some had become phobic about activities associated with the accident; for example, several said they could no longer swim for fear of drowning.
Yet most of those interviewees said they came away with a strong sense of renewal or rebirth. In studying their reactions researchers have concluded that these people have come to understand the relationship of life and death better and more intimately than most of us, they have come to understand how life is actually defined by death. Life is given meaning by the fact that it will end someday.
60．From the article, we can infer that the effects of near-death experiences on the survivors’
life________.
A．are mostly positive in terms of their outlook on life
B．differ due to the variety of circumstances
C．vary greatly from person to person
D．are neither positive nor negative
61．The word “zest” (in the forth paragraph) most probably means________.
A．interest B．enthusiasm C．fear D．curiosity
62．The positive effect of near-death experience was that _______.
A．some people loved life better because they realized its new meaning
B．some people believed they were different from others and they had special work to do
C．some people were no longer afraid of death just because they proved to be religious
D．some people wanted to seek happiness because they knew life was too limited
63．Which effect of the near-death experience was the one that people had seldom expected?
A．Some people felt more vulnerable.
B．Some people did not worry too much about death any more.
C．Some people paid more attention to the value of life.
D．Some people tended to be too pessimistic about death.
