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."

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.
