     It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google
Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple's
case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
    Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with
officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
     "We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to
private info," Mr. Schumer said. "They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be
changed."
     On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he  planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission
(联邦贸易委员会) asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns
came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the
letter but she could not comment further.
     "It sends shivers up the spine to think that one's personal photos, address book, and who knows
what else can be obtained and even posted online without consent," Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter
to the F.T.  C. "If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely
technology exists to close it, and that's exactly what must happen."
     Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then
he would be forced to take the issue further.
     He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. "I'm optimistic that
we can get this changed without any regulation," he said. "If it's not changed, then we'll look the F.T.C,
and if that doesn't work then we'll look at legislative approach."
     The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect
consumers when it comes to privacy.

A. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

C. the dominance of the parents over their children

A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own.

     It is really possible to be bored to death,scientists have found.Researchers say that
people who live a boring life are more likely to die young,and that those who experienced
"high levels" of boredom are at double risk (危险) of dying from heart disease or a stroke
than those who are satisfied with their life.

interviewed between 1985 and 1988 about their levels of boredom.Of those 7,524 people
who were monitored (跟踪调查) over 25 years,those who said____________were nearly
40 percent more likely to have died by the end of the study than those who did not.

women more than twice as likely as men to suffer from boredom.Younger employees and
those with more boring jobs were also found to be more likely to suffer from boredom.
     Martin Shipley,who wrote the report,said,"People who are bored are more likely to turn to
unhealthy habits like drinking,smoking,taking drugs,and getting addicted to the Internet,which
can cut people's lifeexpectancy (寿命)．It_is_important_that_people_who_have_dull_jobs
_find_outside_interests_to_keep_off_boredom,rather_than_turn_to_drinking_or_smoking."
     A scientist said those who are bored should try to be happier by thinking more about the
needs of others."From being all me,me,me,they should be thinking-what can I do for my
family,my friends,my colleagues,even my boss?" he said.

     It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more
than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses
are shaped like chainsaws.
     Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharptoothed snout
(口鼻部) through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
     Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the
world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely
endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.
     Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 online.
In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And
sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed
to the fish's disappearance. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,
which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
     New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement
will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it's not too
late to save the sawfish.
     "Until 1998, this fish had never been formally studied in the United States," says Tonya Wiley of the
Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FIA."We didn't know such basic things as where they live, what
habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have- even what age sawfish are when
they begin breeding."
     Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish's
numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley
estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.
