3、Someday a stranger will read your e – mail without your permission or scan the Website you’re 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 that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, 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 replacement 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（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 ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling 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 part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve 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. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon（优惠卷）.
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.

Half of US mothers are not getting enough sleep and they believe getting more rest would make them better parents, according to a US study. A nationwide survey of 500 mothers by research firm Braun Research found 54 percent of respondents said they were not getting enough sleep. Full-time working mothers were suffering the most with 59 percent saying they were not getting enough sleep. Half of the working mothers said they were getting six or fewer hours sleep a night. Stay-at-home moms felt better with 48 percent saying they were sleep deficient. The survey found 52 percent of America's mothers believed that getting more sleep would make them better parents and 65 percent said it would make them happier.
But even when mothers do get into bed, many lie awake at night with 36 percent thinking about the next day's tasks, 25 percent stressing about the family's finances and 24 percent worrying about family issues. "Consistently not getting enough sleep and lying awake at night worrying about day-to-day challenges could be a sign of insomnia," said sleep specialist Suzanne Griffin, a clinical doctor from Georgetown University Hospital in Washington. But the survey found although sleep problems were among mothers, four out of five had not spoken to their doctor about it and 82 percent never considered using sleeping pills.
Griffin suggested that mothers stick to a sleep schedule, avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks late in the afternoon and before bedtime, and create a sleep environment that is cool, quiet, dark and comfortable.
