　　When I opened my e－mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm(热情)．Every from my brother, and a lot of it was about the trouble he had getting the phone company to give him a high－speed Internet connection．It was pretty cool．

　　Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail．I aceman lets you send an e－mail that gets read to the recipient(收件人)by an attractive male or female from or by a clown(小丑)．The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www.facemail.com．

　　Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模拟)emotions based on emotions－for example, that you put in your text．Type in：－x, and Rachel blows a kiss．

　　Life Fx, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses．The reason e－business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch．But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale?And it is talking with Whirlpool(惠而浦公司)about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge．Then if Mom can't be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat．Facemail could get hot fast．Personally, I'm a fan．But Facemail should be used with care．The clown looks lively and funny at first．But if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e－mail and add some angry emotions, you're got Psychomail(疯人型电子邮件)．

Loren Gladstone of Toronto is 58, but thinking over how to bequeath (遗赠) his digital property(财产). Doing the paperwork after his parents' death was a challenge. “When my time comes, I wonder if my children will even know what paper is，” he says. As a software developer, his virtual property is both valuable and vital to his business. That reflects a problem. Online lives have increasing economic and emotional value. But testamentary (遗嘱) laws offer confusing and incomplete ways of bequeathing and inheriting (继承) them.

Digital property may include software, websites, downloaded content, online gaming identities, social-media accounts and even e-mails. In Britain alone holdings of digital music may be worth over ￡9 billion ($14 billion). A fifth of respondents to a Chinese local-newspaper survey said they had over 5，000 yuan($790) of digital property. And value does not lie only in money.“Anyone with kids under 14 years old probably has two prints of them and the rest are in online galleries，”says Nathan Lustig of Entrustet, a company that helps people manage digital property.

Service providers have different rules—and few state them clearly in their terms and conditions. Many give users a personal right to use an account, but nobody else, even after death. Facebook allows relatives to close an account or turn it into a memorial page. Gmail (run by Google) will provide copies of e-mails to an executor (遗嘱执行人). Music downloaded via iTunes is held under a license which can be abolished on death. Apple declined to comment on the record on this or other policies. All e-mail and data on its iCloud service are deleted on the death of the owner.

This has led to cases to court in America. In 2004 the family of Justin Ellsworth, an army man killed in Iraq, took Yahoo! to court in Michigan to get copies of his e-mails. This year, a court in Oregon ruled that another American mother whose son had died could use her dead son's password to enter his Facebook account for a short period. Now five American states have made laws giving executors control over the social-networking accounts of dead users.

But this raises the subject of privacy. Passing music on is one thing; not everyone may want their relatives to read their e-mails. Colin Pearson, a London-based lawyer, says access should come only with a clear provision in a will.

But laws, wills and password safes may be contrary to the providers' terms of service, especially when the executor is in one country and the data in another. Headaches for the living and lots of lovely work for lawyers.

1.Why does Loren begin to think over how to bequeath his digital property at the age of 58?

A. Because he is afraid his children don't know what paper is.

B. Because there's no complete law dealing with digital property.

C. Because his digital property is of great value and importance.

D. Because he is worried his children will be taken to court.

2.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Digital property is assessed in terms of nothing except money.

B. No laws in America have been made to deal with digital property.

C. The relatives may read the e－mail of the dead without permission.

D. Lawyers can make money through cases about digital property.

3.Facebook, Google and Apple have a similar rule that ________．

A. users are offered accounts used by nobody else except users themselves

B. relatives of the dead may close an account or use it at their own will

C. the executor may enter the e－mail and read it by themselves at any time

D. the data downloaded by the dead will be copied and then deleted from net

4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

A. Digital Information                                        B. Testamentary Laws

C. Deathless Data                                           D. Vital Property
