Millions of people will be able to track each and every move by friends and family through their mobile phones,thanks to a new feature launched by Google yesterday.

The new system named “Latitude” uses a map to show exactly where a loved one is at any time, sometimes discovering their location to a few meters.Worried parents will be able to check up on where their children have got to after school, friends can meet for a quick drink if they see they are nearby and wives will be able to see if their husbands really are working late at the office.

The feature was made available immediately on millions of mobile phones that can access the web,such as the Black Berry.Within weeks Google hopes to launch a new one that will also work on computers as well.

“Once you've shared your location,you can hide it from all of your friends at once,or you can turn off Google Latitude completely at any time.” said a Google spokesman.“You can adjust your privacy settings in Latitude so that you share as much or as little about your location as you want,with whom you want.”

Google said that the company had tested the product with thousands of people to make sure that it was safe for the customers,but experts were not so sure.Simon Davies,director of Privacy International,said Latitude would open up a “privacy minefield(危险地带)”.

“It's about the little white lies.You might be avoiding going to work, and now your boss might be able to see that you're at Twickenham instead of at home.”said Ian Angell, an information expert at the London School of Economics.“You've already got mobile phone technology where husbands and wives track each other in secret.Now Google is so widely used that it will only worsen the situation.”

     A.prove that the partner has told a lie about working late

    51.___________________

I am a member of our school’s volunteer association. During my freshman(大学一年级新生) year, I was asked to write up a plan for volunteers who assisted patients there. So I visited the hospice (末期病人疗养所) several times. Later, I realized I could do more for the patients and so began volunteering.

    52.___________________

When I was a freshman, I was not used to college life. I sometimes felt the hospice was like home. Here, many grannies treated me like their own relative, and I could feel strongly that I was needed. Just shaking hands made them come to life. I not only get great comfort from helping many patients get through the last period of their lives. I also learn a lot from their experiences.

    53.___________________

You have to be prepared both mentally and physically. Most people at this hospice are facing death. So you have prepared to be patient and make them happy and relaxed. Also, persistence is needed. After seeing so many people here die, I know that persistence is hard. But you have to remember that you job is to help them feel less pain before death.

    54.___________________

Good volunteers have something in common: They regard their job as a career, rather than some task that’s been assigned. They learn to enjoy what they are doing, no matter how boring it is. We have a volunteer who has been with us for more than a year. His job is translating letters from kids we helped. Even when he was busy with his classes, he would take a taxi to our office to pick up the letters. When we asked him why, he told us he enjoyed the kids’ stories and learned a lot from them.

    55.___________________

Students are often very enthusiastic and direct. They give us feedback that helps us improve our work. And they value the opportunity we give them to broaden their horizons. However, they are still young and some are not responsible enough. And sometimes, they are lazy and careless.

I was coaching girls' track in Iowa and there was a young discus(铁饼)thrower on the team with  21  potential(潜力). Here goes her story.

At the end of our training   22   the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she   23   come to the school on Sunday for a little   24   training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and   25   missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event,   26   that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had   27  been between 106’1” and 110’10”.

    Something began to   28  me. Why couldn't Lucy   29  to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier(心理的障碍)  30   a physical one. I decided to try something   31  . I made up my mind to   32   to Lucy.

On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to  33  ?” She began to throw again, but   34   were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the   35  one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is  36  ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in  37  .

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy   38   with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had   39   thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
