5.Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites 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.If fact,it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch you without your permission?It might be a spouse,a girlfriend,a marketing company,a boss,a cup or a criminal.Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-21st century is the equal of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries(dividing line) are healthy,and that it's important to reveal yourself to friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain.The digital bread pieces 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?
When opinion polls(民意测验)ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned about losing it.a survey found an overwhelming(very large)pessimism about privacy,with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is"slipping away,and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another.Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort t protect their privacy.Few people turn down a tollbooths(收费站)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements.And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards.Privacy economist Alissanfro Acquisti has a series of tests that reveal that people will give personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cent-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.
63.What would psychologists advise on the relationship between friends?C
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.Friends should always be faithful to each other
C.There should be a distance even between friends
D.There should be fewer quarrels between friends.
64.Why does the author say"we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?B
A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society
B.People leave traces around when using modern technology
C.There are always people who are curious about other's affairs
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities
65.What do most Americans do about privacy protection?D
A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity
B.They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
C.They rely more and more on electronic devices
D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
66.According to the passage,privacy is like health becauseD.
A.people will make every effort to keep it
B.its importance is rarely understood
C.it is something that can easily be lost
D.people don't value it until they lose it.

When young people begin to live independently,home-hunting can involve some stress.But they would do well to remember that a new (41)D is available--micro-homes.
Called"tiny houses,"these houses have all living necessities in a small (42)A,including kitchen,bedroom and bathroom.Generally under 50square meters,most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more.What's lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.
Besides an attractive appearance,tiny houses can also boast (43)I practical features.Making the best of urban space,the 72-to 122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw,the world's narrowest home,filled in a corridor.The prototype (原型) home Ecocapsule uses solar power,wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live(44)F anywhere.A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or (45)K courtyard.
Visually (46)B as micro-homes are,there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting comfortable on a mini-couch.Moving into a tiny house requires the (47)C of most non-essentials,no matter the emotional connection to them.Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the (48)E space may even cause an unaccompanied individual to experience some cabin fever.And finally,a micro-home is likely a(n)(49)J living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquire more possessions.
Though the limitations will scare some,there is usually a benefit.A small size results in a small price tag and small bills,making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget.And though you won't have much stuff around the house,this can provide the comfort of simple living and maintenance.Micro-homes are also practically mobile and boast eco-friendliness that can't be(50)G by other homes.They probably aren't for everyone or forever,but when it comes to your next (or first) home,they could be just what you need.
