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.

1.The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google___________.

A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy

B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information

C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos

D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo

A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.

B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.

C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.

A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently????????

B. can be used if permitted

  I came to study in America last fall.My life had been quite   1   since I arrived at Andover.Although I had quite a few extracurricular(课外)activities, I hadn't taken any official leadership position.

  This   2   changed when I received an email from Ms Griffith, my cluster(a group of dorms)dean(主任), saying that a new female DC Rep was needed.DC Rep   3   Discipline(纪律)Committee Representative(代表).Sometimes boarding school students break serious rules, like using drugs, getting drunk or cheating in their studies.The punishments given to such students are   4   by the DC Rep, a house counselor, two student representatives, the cluster president and the cluster dean.I was really interested in becoming DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll, but so were five other students.We had to hold   5   and Ms Griffith asked us to write speeches to be sent to everyone in Pine Knoll.

  I thought hard about what to write.I didn't want to make any   6  , because they are difficult to keep.I didn't want to say I was experienced, because I was not.So I started my speech by explaining why I wanted to become a DC Rep.“I want to serve Pine Knoll and also learn how American boarding schools carry out discipline,” I wrote   7  

  I made three posters that said “Vote For Teresa” and put them on every exit of my dorm so that people would   8   my name when they went to vote.

  Although I tried hard, I didn't win the election.I was disappointed, but my positive(积极的)nature did not allow me to   9   for very long.I actually smiled when my friends tried to comfort me, “Teresa, I am sorry that you didn't win the election,” they would say.

  “No, don't be sorry for me.I am very happy to have taken part in the election,” I said.

  It was true; the   10   was much more important than the result.I was surprised and happy to discover my hidden courage.

I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.

Let us take a 21 ,reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an)  22 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour.Without the distraction(分散注意力) of TV, they might 23 to gether after dinner and actually talk to one another.It is well known that many of our 24 —everything in fact, from me generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 25 illness —are caused at least in part by 26 to communicate.By using the quiet family hour to 27 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.

On evenings when such talk is 28 , families could discover more active pastimes(娱乐).Freed from TV and forced to find their own activities, they might take a 29 tog ether to watch the sunset.30 they might take a walk together. 31 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading.There is more entertainment in 32 than in a TV program. 33 rep ort that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 34 at the college level. 35 is often learned from reading.A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.

A different form of reading might also be done 36 it was in the past: reading aloud.The quiet hour could become the story hour.When the 37 ends, the TV networks might be forced to 38 with better shows i n order to get us back from our newly- discovered activities.

At first glance, this idea seems radical (激进的) .39 will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can 40 childhoods without television.It wasn't that difficult.
