       Virginia Polytechnic Institute of State University is a large university in the southern state of Virginia. Officials at Virginia Tech say computers are very important to a student’s education. All students at Virginia Tech have been required to have a computer since 1998.

       Each student’s living area at Virginia Tech has the necessary wires to link a computer to the Internet .The students can send and receive electronic mail, use the World Wide Web part of the Internet and link with other universities, all without leaving their room .They can also use their computers to send electronics copies of their schoolwork to their teachers .And they can search for books in the school’s huge library.

       Most major American universities and colleges strongly urge or require new students to have a computer. Most colleges and universities also have large rooms where students can use computers for class work.

If you have a computer you can learn about Fremont Union High School in Sunnyvale, California, for example .Its Web site provides information about the school, the teachers and their electronic mail addresses .It also lists student events and organizations.

       Young children also use computer in school. Smoketree Elementary School in Lake Havasu, Arizona has given us a good example .The school also has a World Wide Web site .It tells about the school and the teachers and has a area for young children .These young children use computer in school to learn numbers and letters .They also learn how to use the computer they will need later in their education.

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.

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 spouse, a girlfriend（配偶）, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal, Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen -- the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.

Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs （面包屑）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（泄露）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 ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it A survey found an overwhelming pessimism（悲观）about privacy, with 60 percent 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 fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （收费处）to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender 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.

What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

A．Friends should open their hearts to each other.

    B．There should be a distance even between friends

   C．Friends should always be faithful to each other.

   D．There should be fewer disputes between friends.

Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret" ?

   A．Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.

   B．People leave traces around when using modern technology.

   C．There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.

   D．Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.

What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protections?

    A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.

   B．They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.

   C．They rely more and more on electronic devices.

   D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

According to the passage, privacy is like health in that ______.

   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 cherish it until they lose it
