Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website 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.

In fact,it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend,a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never wanted to be seen―the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.

Psychologists(心理学家)tell us boundaries are healthy,and it' s important to show yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑)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? For many Americans,the answer apparently is "no". 

When opinion polls(民意测试)ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned ab?out losing it. A survey found 60 percent of respondents say they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me".

But people say one thing and do another. Only a few Americans change any behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Many people will give up personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-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.

Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more agile (敏捷的)and independent than their peers over time,according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people.

Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals(抗氧化物)that may help stop the cell damage that can lead to disease. Researchers have been studying green tea's effect on everything from cholesterol (胆固醇)to the risk of certain cancers,with mixed results so far.

They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop "functional disability",or problems with daily activities or basic needs, such as dressing or bathing.

Specifically,almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled, compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups a day.

The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older. Green tea lovers generally had healthier diets, including more fish,vegetables and fruit, as well as more education, lower smoking rates,fewer heart attacks and strokes,and greater mental sharpness. They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on. But even with those factors accounted for,green tea itself was tied to a lower disability risk,the researchers said.

People who drank at least five cups a day were one-third less likely to develop disabilities than those who had less than a cup per day. Those people who averaged three or four cups a day had a 25 percent lower risk.

Although it's not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(緩沖)against disability,Tomata's team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts (提取物)seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.

While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts, they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K,which means it could affect drugs that prevent blood clotting(凝固).

(   ) 8. What does the underlined word "peer" mean in the first paragraph?
A. Father. B. Brother.

B.   Those who often drink green tea can't develop "functional disability'.

C.   "Functional disability" is related to problems with daily activities or basic needs.

D.   People who drink at least five cups of green tea a day are not likely to become functionally disabled.

(   ) 10. What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?

A.   How the study was proved.

B.   Why green tea lovers can keep agile.

C.   What healthier diets include.

D.   How to lower disability risk.

(   ) 11. What have the researchers discovered?

A.   Those who drank green tea can't develop "functional disability".

B.   Green tea alone kept people agile as they grew older.

C.   How green tea might offer a buffer against disability.
