Helge and Kari Farsund, who live in Oslo, Norway, have been a couple for 50 years． Mr Farsund worrked as an engineer, while his wife was an intensive-care nurse at one point serving with the Red Cross in Rwanda, helping victims of the violent war in that country．Three years ago, a personal tragedy struck, when Mrs Farsund was found to have developed Alzheimer's（老年痴呆）． 'As the condition became worse, Mr Farsund began looking for a system that could help both of them live as normal a life as possible． He came across the healthcare technology company Abilia, which has come up with just such a network．

At the center \of the system is an iPad-like device． The screen has Skype, which allows carers to regularly check in with patients． It also has a planner for patients or carers to record up-coming events and provides spoken reminders about daily tasks, such as when they need to take medicine．

Some l,000 people now have the system installed in their homes, and 25 of them, including the Farsunds, are testing the latest version, which combines the screen with wirelessly connected sensors． The motion sensors know if you are in the room or open a door, and send out alarms, for instance, if the stove（电炉） is left on for more than 15 minutes or a per．son opens a door in the middle of the night． The second is a particular issue in Oslo, where sub-zero winters mean some Alzheimer's patients are freezing to death．

"With．this kind of system, it allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing," says vice president Oystein Johnsen． For him, any move to improve city life needs to begin with people． "Smart cities are coming and they need to start with individuals in their own home," he says． "It also saves the govemment money． In Norway it cost￡100,000 per year to have someone in a home, while this system costs 15,000． That is a lot of money to save．"

When we worry about who might be spying on our private lives, we usually think about the Federal agents. But the private sector outdoes the government every time. It’s Linda Tripp, not the FBI, who is facing charges under Maryland’s laws against secret telephone taping. It’s our banks, not the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that pass our private financial data to telemarketing firms.

Consumer activists are pressing Congress for better privacy laws without much result so far. The legislators lean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will.

As an example of what’s going on, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minnesota. According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called Member Works with sensitive customer data such as names, phone numbers, bank-account and credit-card numbers, social security numbers, account balances and credit limits.

With these customer lists in hand, Member Works started dialing for dollars-selling dental plans, videogames, computer software and other products and services. Customers who accepted a “free trial offer” had 30 days to cancel. If the deadline passed, they were charged automatically through their bank or credit-card accounts. U.S. Bancorp collected a share of the revenues.

Customers were doubly deceived, the lawsuit claims. They didn’t know that the bank was giving account numbers to Member Works. And if customers asked, they were led to think the answer was no.

The state sued Member Works separately for deceptive selling. The company denies that it did anything wrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes. But it agreed to stop exposing its customers to nonfinancial products sold by outside firms. A few top banks decided to do the same. Many other banks will still do business with Member Works and similar firms.

And banks will still be mining data from your account in order to sell you financial products, including things of little value, such as credit insurance and credit-card protection plans.

You have almost no protection from businesses that use your personal accounts for profit. For example, no federal law shields “transaction and experience” information-mainly the details of your bank and credit-card accounts. Social Security numbers are for sale by private firms. They’ve generally agreed not to sell to the public. But to businesses, the numbers are an open book. Self-regulation doesn’t work. A firm might publish a privacy-protection policy, but who enforces it?

Take U.S. Bancorp again. Customers were told, in writing, that “all personal information you supply to us will be considered confidential.” Then it sold your data to Member Works. The bank even claims that it doesn’t “sell” your data at all. It merely “shares” it and reaps a profit. Now you know.

A. is practiced exclusively by the FBI

C. has been intensified with the help of the IRS

B. most states are turning a blind eye to the deceptive practices of private businesses

C. legislators are acting to pass a law to provide better privacy protection

D. lawmakers tend to give a free hand to businesses to inquire into customers’ buying habits

3.When the “free trial” deadline is over, you’ll be charged without notice for a product or service if ________.

A. you happen to reveal your credit card number

B. you fail to cancel it within the specified period

C. you fail to apply for extension of the deadline

D. you find the product or service unsatisfactory

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Sarah Hughes won the gold medal in women’s figure skating at the 2002 Winter Olympics. A graduate of Yale University, she is writing her first book. She owes her success to her parents' support.

“I started skating when I was 3 years old. Competing in the Olympic Games had been my dream from the beginning. When I was 12 years old, my mother was hospitalized with breast cancer. I was on the way to making my first national team. Seeing my excitement at each stage gave her strength through her illness. On days when she was too weak to walk, she would think, ‘I have to make it through. I have to be there for my kids.’ My mom was able to leave the hospital to come to Philadelphia from New York to watch me win the Junior Ladies title. That day I was skating for more than just the judges. My parents' support made all the difference when I performed on the skating stage. When I won the Olympic medal, I was able to share more than just my skating experience with the people who were with me all along. I was raised in a stable, supportive environment."
