  Here is a question that every person(even you)should think about what you will leave behind when you die."I'm too young to think about that, " you may say.Wrong! Perhaps your mind goes to the   1   assets that you hope to acquire in the future-erhaps a house, a car, or a bank account.Sure, those things may be further down the road, but if you have an email address, own a collection of digital music and movies, use a social networking site, have an online photo album, or write a blog, then you are the proud owner of what is now being called   2   "assets".We all naturally assume that our possession will go to our loved ones when we die, At some point, you'll probably even write a will which states who should inherit what.People are now starting to realize that simply listing our material possessions may not be enough.Researchers at the University of London recently   3   that more and more Britons are now deciding who should get their digital photos, music, videos and so on-the "digital inheritance."

  What about passwords to online accounts? Wouldn't this naturally be   4   to your next of kin? Absolutely not! Privacy laws around the world   5   to protect the privacy of the deceased over the desire of the family to retrieve their loved one's personal information.A Ms.Wang of Shenyang, China recently discovered this when she tried to   6   her dead husband's QQ account.Tencent, the operator of QQ,   7   her request based on their terms of use, which states "the right to use an account belongs solely to the   8   applicant, and this right shall not be   9  , loaned, rented, transferred or sold." Since Ms.Wang's husband had not given her his password before his death, she had no foot to stand on.

III. Reading Comprehension     
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.  Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Your cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names and   50   that you’ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA remain on it, according to a new study.
  DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you   51   you have an identical twin. Scientists today routinely analyze DNA in blood, saliva (唾液), or hair   52   behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify   53   and their victims. Your cell phone can   54   more about you than you might think.
  Meghan J. McFadden, a scientist at McMaster University1in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect(嫌疑犯)bled onto a cell phone and later dropped the   55  . This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cell phones ___ even when no blood was involved.     56   she and colleague Margaret Wallace of the City University of New York analyzed the flip-open phones(翻盖手机) of 10 volunteers. They used swabs(药签) to collect   57   traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, and the   58  , which is placed at the user’s ear.
The scientists scrubbed the phones using a solution made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to   59   all detectable (可查明的) traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back for another week.   60   the researchers collected the phones and repeated the swabbing of each phone once more.
The scientists discovered DNA that   61   to the phone’s owner on each of the phones. Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone, but those swabs also   62    DNA of other people who had apparently also handled the phone.   63  , DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed. That suggests that washing won’t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal’s device. So cell phones can now be added to the   64   of clues that can settle a crime-scene investigation.
