(   ) 2. Bending down,he        the footprints that hadn't been blown away in the wind,

concluding that they belonged to a wolf.

A. ignored    B. inspected C. expanded    D. defended

When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream. If the danger continues, it will defend itself,or it will run away as fast as possible.

Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry，scared or arousedf激起感情)by others' emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes, all of which make us more alert(警惕的)and ready to react. We also get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger―or hit somebody―and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely.

Does this mean that it，s smarter always to hide our feelings? No！If you keep your feelings  of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up(掩饰)inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health.

You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist,but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact,it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend,a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never wanted to be seen―the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.

Psychologists(心理学家)tell us boundaries are healthy，and it' s important to show yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑)you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you like. In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not,increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

The key question is：Does that matter? For many Americans，the answer apparently is "no". 

When opinion polls(民意测试)ask Americans about privacy，most say they are concerned ab?out losing it. A survey found 60 percent of respondents say they feel their privacy is "slipping away， and that bothers me".

But people say one thing and do another. Only a few Americans change any behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Many people will give up personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券).

But privacy does matter―at least sometimes. It's like health：When you have it,you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.
