     Someday a stranger will read your e­mail 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 girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a criminal. 
Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21st century equal to being 
caught naked(裸露的).     
     Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it's important to reveal(透露) yourself to friends, 
family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain.
     The digital breadcrumbs(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 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 majority of people are pessimistic 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 small part of Americans change any  behaviors in 
an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费亭) to avoid 
using the EZ­Pass system that can track(跟踪) automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket 
loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will 
submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50­cents­off 
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.
1.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A. There should be a distance even between friends.
B. There should be fewer quarrels between friends.
C. Friends should always be faithful to each other.
D. Friends should open their hearts to each other.
2.Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?
A. There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.
B. Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities.
C. People leave traces around when using modern technology.
D. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.
3.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?
A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it. 
C. They rely more and more on electronic equipment. 
D. They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
4.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?
A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it. 
C. They rely more and more on electronic equipment.

A Chinese graduate’s record – setting $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.
The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale's new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, as well as fund(资助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.
Some asked why Zhang Lei, who graduated from Yale less than 10 years ago, chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University, his alma mater (母校), for the donation. But a larger group of online users voiced support for Zhang's move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.
"We should look at this news from an international standpoint," said Chi Fulin, professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform. Chi said although Yale gets the money,  the donation will also benefit China.
"It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs, and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges." He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors, and Zhang's move should be regarded with "respect, understanding and encouragement".
In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US, a larger part of financial aid comes from non – government organizations. "China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future," he said.
Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving. "Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years. he said, “Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that."
Zhang, who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002, worked for the Yale Investments Office. In 2005, Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd, a Beijing-based investment fund that manages $2.5 billion.
56.Zhang Lei contributed such a large sum of money to Yale just         .
A.to relieve the situation that Yale was lacking in money
B.to pay Yale back for the free education he received
C.to help change the pattern of the one – way assistance
D.to promote the relationship between China and the US
57.What’s the writer’s attitude towards Zhang Lei’s donation to Yale?
A.objective  B.supportive C.opposed    D.unconcerned
58.From the passage, we can see professor Chi Fulin argues that         .
A.more Chinese should be involved in donating money to US
B.the behavior of Zhang Lei is respectable and deserves praise
C.government organizations matter much in exchange programs
D.universities in China should take management more seriously
59.As for Zhang Lei,          .
A.his generosity made him world – famous overnight
B.his company mainly serves the Yale Investments Office
C.Yale shaped his life and taught him the spirit of giving
D.he considers Yale his preference to Renmiu University
60.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
