1.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 information,"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 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 worries people to think that one's personal photos,address book,and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,"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 turn to the F.T.C.,and if that doesn't work then we'll consider 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.

点评 1、要想做好科普英语阅读理解题,同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章,学习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力.
2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点.科普类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成.标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题.导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点.结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题.  
3、在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识.

Hotel rooms come in a variety of styles and price ranges. Despite differences m decoration and price, one thing most hotels have in common is a set of rules. Failure to obey these rules can result in fees or fines to cover hotel room damages, removal from the hotel or possibly even arrest.

Smoking

Some hotels are completely non-smoking. Some hotels designate smoking and non-smoking rooms. If you smoke in a non-smoking room, you will likely be fined hundreds of dollars and possibly asked to leave.

Number of Guests

Most regular hotel rooms are designed for two adults. If you have more than two people staying in the room, the hotel will likely charge an additional fee for each extra guest, though some hotels let children stay free. Do not put more than four adults in the room unless the hotels policy permits that many people. Or you might be fined or removed from the hotel

Hotel Reservations Requirements

Most hotels require a major credit card to reserve the room. You can pay cash at the end of your stay, but do not be surprised if there is a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay. Most hotels authorize a security deposit on your card to cover any possible damages to the room. Once the hotel confirms that the room is undamaged and that you do not break any hotel policies, your security deposit will be refunded.

Breaking the Law

You cannot break the law in your hotel room, just as you cannot break the law in your own home or in public. Do not do drugs or commit any other criminal act in the hotel room. If you do, you will likely be arrested.

Noise

Most hotels have a noise policy you must obey. If you are being too loud you will usually get a warning. If the noise continues and more complaints are issued, you will likely be kicked out of the hotel, regardless of what time it is.

根据短文内容,在短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or 1. and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. 3.__ All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. 4._, because you have more chances to challenge yourself.

6.I work in a US factory that produces 4,500refrigerators every day.There was one worker in this huge factory who always seemed just a little strange.I've seen him around for years but never paid him much attention.He is short and scruffy (不整洁的)and walks around this big old factory on his breaks collecting aluminum cans (铝罐).
Over the years I often ran into him as he walked to his old pickup truck on the coldest days with snow blowing and everyone with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets.He would be there with a garbage bag full of aluminum cans.He'd toss (扔)it into the back of his truck and jump in.I'd reach my car and jump in and we'd all race to the exit of this big half-empty parking lot.
One day I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag,picking up cans.Our manager was standing there because the machine I was working on had been"down"for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of parts for one of the assembly lines (装配线).
As I was finishing,I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what he did with all those cans.I'd never thought to ask him that question because I always just assumed he cashed them in at the recycling center.
"I give them to my neighbor.He's epileptic (有癫痫病的),"the can man said.
"You mean you've been collecting all those cans for all these years for your neighbor?"I blurted out.
"It's not much,"he said."But I give them to him.He can't hold a job."
Right then and there I found myself looking straight at him.He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red baseball cap and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand.I don't even know his name,but I thank him for the lesson he taught me.

Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.
