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, its likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, 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. Experts say its important to introduce yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But when you surf the Internet, the digital tracks that you leave 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 give away what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. When Americans are asked about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of Americans feel their privacy is constantly invaded (侵犯). 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. A privacy economist has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券). But privacy does matterat least sometimes. Its like health: When you have it, you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.56. It is necessary to keep privacy safe because _.A. privacy is valued by few people B. privacy is always used by criminals C. privacy can easily be invaded D. privacy can protect people around you57. What would experts advise on keeping good boundaries?A. There is always something you shouldnt give away.B. There should be fewer arguments between friends.C. All friends should open their hearts to each other.D. You should not always have good relationship with your friends and so on. 58. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably indicates that _.A. modern society has finally changed into an open societyB. people leave tracks around when using modern technologyC. There are always people who are curious about others affairsD. many search engines profit by giving away peoples identities59. According to the passage, privacy is like health in that _.A. it is something that can easily be lostB. its importance is rarely understood C. people will make every effort to keep itD. people dont treasure it until they lose itBCHELYABINSK, RussiaA meteorite (piece of rock or metal that has reached the earths surface from out space) streaked across the sky and exploded over central Russia on Friday, raining fireballs over a vast area and causing a shock wave that smashed windows, damaged buildings and injured 1,200 people.People heading to work in Chelyabinsk heard what sounded like an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt the shock wave, according to a Reuters correspondent in the industrial city 1,500 km (950 miles) east of Moscow. The fireball, travelling at a speed of 30 km (19 miles) per second according to Russian space agency Roscosmos, had blazed (熊熊燃烧) across the horizon, leaving a long white trail that could be seen as far as 200 km (125 miles) away.Car alarms went off, thousands of windows shattered and mobile phone networks were disrupted (扰乱). The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion, a very rare spectacle, also released a sonic boom (音爆). “I was driving to work, it was quite dark, but it suddenly became as bright as if it were day,” said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.”The meteorite, which weighed about 10 tonnes and may have been made of iron, entered Earths atmosphere and broke apart 30-50 km above ground, according to Russias Academy of Sciences. The energy released when it entered the Earths atmosphere was equal to a few kilotonnes, the academy said, the power of some atomic weapons exploding.The Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and clean-up workers were sent to the region after President Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease the disruption and help the victims. The Interior Ministry said about 1,200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from shards (碎片) of glass. The Emergencies Ministry described Fridays events as a “meteorite shower in the form of fireballs” and said background radiation levels were normal. It urged residents not to panic.Experts drew comparisons with an incident in 1908, when a meteorite is thought to have destroyed an area of more than 2,000 sq km in Siberia, breaking windows as far as 200 km from the point of impact.Simon Goodwin, an expert from Britains University of Sheffield, said that roughly 1,000 to 10,000 tonnes of material rained down from space towards the earth every day, but most burned up in the atmosphere. “While events this big are rare, an impact that could cause damage and death could happen every century or so. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop impacts.60. When the meteorite fell to Earth in Russia, _.A. most of it was forced to land in remote areas to reduce destructionB. it remained in one piece and traveled very fast across Russia C. the shock wave from its explosion caused the damage and injuries D. it caused explosions and resulted in great loss of life and destruction of buildings61. What did the Russian government do after the impact happened?A. It invited experts to make comparisons with the incident in 1908.B. It sent workers to the area to do rescue and clean-up work.C. It urged experts to find ways to stop such events from happening. D. It arranged rescue teams to reduce the background radiation levels. 62. What can we infer from the text?A. The number of meteorites falling toward Earth may be on the rise in the future. B. Most of the meteorites falling toward Earth are destructive and uncontrollable.C. There are warning systems for objects falling from space in certain countries.D. Nothing could be done to bring down the rate of meteorites impacting the earth. CWith their grey skin, mournful eyes and slow plodding (沉重缓慢的) gait, you could be forgiven for thinking elephants are uniformly melancholy (忧郁的) creatures. But scientists have now discovered the largest living land animals have personalities to match their size.In a new study of African elephants, researchers have identified four distinct characters that are existing in a herdthe leaders, the gentle giants, the playful rogues (小淘气) and the reliable plodders (辛勤工作的人).Each of the types has developed to help the giant mammals survive in their harsh environment and are almost unique in the animal kingdom, according to the scientist.Professor Phyllis Lee and her colleague Cynthia Moss studied a herd of elephants in the Amboseli National Park in Kenya known as the EB familyfamous for their matriarch (女家长) Echo before she died in 2009. Using data collected over 38 years of watching this group, the researchers analysed them for 26 types of behaviour and found four personality traits tended to come to the fore (突显出). The strongest personality was that of the leader. Unlike other animals, where leadership tends to be won by the most dominant and aggressive individual, the elephants instead respected intelligence and problem solving in their leader. Echo, the matriarch and oldest in the group, her daughter Enid, and Ella, the second oldest female, all appeared as leaders.The playful elephants tended to be younger but were more curious and active. Eudora, a 40-year-old female in the herd, seemed to be the most playful, consistently showing this trait throughout her life while playfulness in some of the other elephants declined with age.Gentle elephants, which included two 27-year-old females Eleanor and Eliot, caressed (呵护) and rubbed against others more than the others.Those that were reliable tended to be those that were most consistent at making good decisions, helped to care for infants in the herd and were calm when faced with threats. Echo and her youngest daughter Ebony seemed to be the most reliable.Professor Lee said that elephants with these traits tended to be the most socially integrated (融入、合并) in the group while those who tended to be less reliable and pushy were more likely to split from the herd.63. The passage mainly tells us _.A. elephants have four distinct personalities that help their herd surviveB. elephants are uniformly melancholy creaturesC. P
