Ever Googled yourself and found someone who has your name-and a very different life? You’ve just met your Googleganger.

Eve Fairbanks is a student at Yale University. Her name appeared on a few X-rated sites when her mother had Googled her out of curiosity. But that Eve Fairbanks wasn’t her Eve-it was a “Googleganger”, a virtual（虚拟的）or real person with the same name.

Much like the verb “to Google” has become as familiar in our everyday language as “to search,” the term “Googleganger” has also caught on with a generation of people judged not so much by their accomplishments but by how Google-able those accomplishments are.

“You are who you are because of Google,” says Matthew Slutsky, 26 a political blogger who has befriended his own Googleganger on Facebook（大学生网络社区）.

For some, your Googleganger is your rival in a race to the top of the Google hit list. It can also be a source of comparison. For others, a Googleganger is a lifelong irritant（刺激剂）.

Minnesota IT consultant Robert Fischer was 10 years old when “Searching for Bobby Fischer” the 1993 movie about a great chess talent, came out. It made things awkward at home-Robert’s grandfather was training him to be a chess champ, too! “And here was some kid who was younger and better than I’d ever be,” he says. And now it’s dashing his hopes of upping his Google rank.

At least he doesn’t share his name with a porn（色情）star. Fairbanks got lucky in the end. Her name was remove from the sites, thanks to Google’s support team. And as it turned out, porn-star Eve might not have actually existed: her name, Google told our Eve, might have been created as a marketing means to drive more traffic to the porn sites.

The summer I was ten,my mother decided to bring us to the world of art.My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant.What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum.Before each visit to the museum,she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格).It was almost as bad as being in school.Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?

First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人)and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum.My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny,but I was not interested.Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing.We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly(卷曲的)hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings.I certainly couldn’t see what was so great about art.

On our last visit to the museum,something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary.In it,a woman was reading to a child.The colors were soft and gentle,and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child.I couldn’t stop looking at this painting!I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made!It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.

According to some talk, the younger generation in Smithville is the most antisocial in history. This seems far from the truth. Young people today as a whole are better, more informed, more ambitious, healthier, and more smart than ever before. Why then, it may be asked, do we see such restlessness and such antisocial behavior among our young people?

For the answer the citizens of this community must look at themselves. What have they done to the grounds that have been built in the last fifteen years? How many swimming pools are there? How many vocational training projects have been started? How many community – organized youth parties and picnics have been held?

The average citizen will answer that the responsibility for these activities belongs to the schools. But the schools cannot be held responsible for all the free – time activities of all the young people of this community. The job of the schools is formal education, not free – time recreation（娱乐）.

This community needs a youth center suitable for such activities as picnics, camping, sports, music, art and so on. There should be social and recreational activities to meet the needs and interests of every member of our school age youth.

Mayor Elmo D. Greely has proposed the formation of a Youth Club as the first step in the direction of a Youth Center. Mayor Greely has called a meeting at the City Hall on Friday, August 15, at noon.

Giving up a lunch hour is a very little sacrifice for a project that can be of great importance to this community.

This newspaper urges every adult and young person of Smithville to attend this important meeting. We believe our industrial, business, and professional leaders have an especially strong duty to be present.

This newspaper will be present and intends to support this project with vigor.

The underlined word “antisocial” probably means “           ”.

       A．opposed to an orderly society or way of life    B．promising

       C．suitable to present society      D．having a lot of social experience

What does the writer think of the sentence “The younger generation in Smithville is the most

antisocial in history.”?

       A．He thinks it is true.         B．He thinks it is not true.

       C．He thinks it is partially true.   D．He thinks it is nonsense.

The main idea of Paragraphs 2 and 3 is                 .

       A．to give us lots of questions to show that problem is serious.

       B．that school should hold the responsibility for education rather than free – time recreation.

       C．to analyze the reasons why the youth are antisocial.

       D．that we should take more activities or start many vocational projects.

    Have you ever ‘‘Googled’’ yourself?

    More Americans are Googling themselves－and many are checking out their friends，co-workers and romantic interests，too．

    In a report Sunday, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said 47 percent of U．S．adult Internet users have looked for information about themselves through Google or another search engine．That is more than twice the 22 percent of users who did in 2002，but Pew senior research

specialist Mary Madden was surprised the growth wasn’t higher．

    “Yes，it’s doubled，but it's still the case that there’s a large number of Internet users who have never done this simple act of plugging their names with search engines，”she said．

    Americans under 50 and those With more education and income were more likely to self-Google―in some cases because their jobs demand a certain online persona．Meanwhile．Pew  found that 53 percent of adult Internet users admit looking up information about someone else． celebrities excluded．

Often，it's to find someone they’ve lost touch with．But looking up information about friends, relatives，colleagues and neighbors was also common．

Although men and women equally searched for online information about themselves．women were slightly more likely to look up information about someone they are dating．

    In many cases，the search is just done to find someone’s contact information．But a third of those who have conducted searches on others have looked for public records，such as bankruptcies and divorce proceedings．A similar number have searched for someone else’s photo．

    Few Internet users say they Google themselves regularly－about three quarters of self searchers say they have done so only once or twice．And most who have done so consider what they find accurate．

    Pew also found that teens were more likely than adults to restrict who can see their profiles at an online hangout like Facebook or news Corp’s MySpace．

 

52．How many of Internet users googled themselves in 2002 according to the report?

    A．22％                   B．44％                    C．47％                      D．53％

    A．she was surprised that the growth wasn’t higher

    B．many Internet users find it difficult to Google themselves

    C．more Internet users are expected to Google themselves because it's simple

    D．some Internet users have never tried Googled themselves though it’s simple

55．Why have many Internet users never made a try to Google themselves?

    A．Because they don’t consider what they find accurate．

    B．Because they think it unnecessary to do so．

    C．Because they worry about their security online．

    D．It is not mentioned in the report．

56．Which conclusion can we draw from the report?   

    A．Teens would like more people to see them online．

    B．Most of the women Internet users tend to make dates online．

    C．People are more likely to search for information of others than of themselves．

    D．Quite a few Internet users are much concerned about their personal security online．
