[单项选择] In the villages of the English countryside there are still people who remember the good old days when no one bothered to lock their doors. There simply wasn’’t any crime to worry about.
Amazingly, these happy times appear still to be with us in the world’’s biggest community. A new study by Dan Farmer, a gifted programmer, using an automated investigative program of his own called SATAN, shows that the owners of well over half of all World Wide Web sites have set up home without fitting locks to their doors.
SATAN can try out a variety of well-known hacking (黑客的) tricks on an Internet site without actually breaking in. Farmer has made the program publicly available, amid much criticism. A person with evil intent could use it to hunt down sites that are easy to burgle (闯入......行窃).

[单项选择]Communication between villages and the nearest town was poor. Roads were bad; there was some attempt to keep them in order, but as each parish was responsible for its own section of road, the state of repair depends on the zeal of the parish officers. There was, however, little wheeled traffic except for farm coaches used by men of wealth. Most traffic was by means of pack horses. Travelers rode on horseback or walked. Since communication was so difficult, the local markets, held weekly at the nearest town, or the fairs, held annually at the greater cities, became important places for the exchange of goods of all kinds.
In this passage the author’s conclusion that local markets and fairs were important is based on his statement that ______.
A. communication between villages and towns was poor
B. roads were bad
C. there was little wheeled traffic
D. exchanges of goods took place at the markets
