But in trying to hold back the images, she caused a different outcome. Her legal actions led to almost half a million people visiting the website, viewing and copying the photos within a month.Ever since then, the effect of letting public know something you are trying to keep secret has been called the“Streisand effect”. The problem for anyone trying to suppress information is that the Internet is the worlds biggest and most useful copying machine. Put a document (文件) on to a connected machine and it will spread. So when you want to be famous, you cant, but if you find yourself receiving too much attention and want to remove yourself, you cannot. There are many examples of the Streisand effect. Nine-year-old Martha Payne created a simple blog, posting the meals her school served. She took a photo of what was hardly a satisfying meal by anyones standards. With the photo, she added a comment (评论), “Now Dad understands why I am hungry when I get home.” The thing did not go too far, until the local authority (权威机构) banned (禁止) little Martha from doing that again. Martha posted a final post called “Goodbye”, explaining everything. Once the media found this out, things went from bad to worse for the authority. Now the blog has more than 9.5 million page views. Martha has even expanded her blog by including pictures of school meals taken by other kids from all over the world, like Germany and Japan.We can find similar examples throughout history. Man has experienced the Streisand effect ever since the birth of mass communication. Why does it exist? Every time you are told not to see whats in the secret shiny box wrapped in gift paper, youre going to do everything in your power todo exactly that! Just realizing that knowing something about someone is harmful to their status, we will want to know that piece of information. This is exactly the human nature. This is what lawyers and authorities should be familiar with. Unfortunately, a few of them fail to understand it. 28. The underlined word “suppress” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. give away B. look into C. cover up D. search for 29. What speeded up the spread of Marthas story? A. Parents reaction. B.

DDo you still remember that the product you bought isnt what you had planned to buy before? Some sort of propaganda (宣传) influenced you to make that decision. That thing has a name and its called persuasion, a process which aims to change ones attitude, behavior, intention and principles. Persuasion is a very powerful weapon that can be used wisely in all types of businesses, presentations and public speeches. So its necessary to master the art of persuasion.It is important to master the art of persuasion. Firstly, it can help you persuade and encourage people of your class. By mastering the art of persuasion, you can change a persons attitudes towards something. We often persuade our parents to spend some money and buy us cars, cinema tickets and beautiful clothes. You can steer (驾驭) all these actions by using effectively the art of persuasion. Most of us dont even realize that our lives are getting influenced by persuasion.Secondly, it can help you succeed in a job interview. When you apply for (申请) a job, you know there are thousands of applicants for the same job youre eager to get. The only way to stand out from thousands of interviewees for that particular job is by using persuasion to get that job. You sell yourself to him, persuade your interviewer that he wont find somebody like you elsewhere and hell treat you in a brighter way than the others.Thirdly, it can help you succeed in your business. The business world today is getting larger and more competitive and it doesnt fit everyone. Only the ones who can master the art of persuasion are able to succeed. Persuasion in business can be used in several ways, such as propaganda, advertising, and brainwashing. Therefore, you should realize that persuasion is quite helpful in selling more products or services and can help you succeed in all types of businesses.Lastly, it can help you avoid being persuaded by other people. Can you still remember the product that you bought in a shop and seemed to be very useful at first sight, but after a while you realized that you wasted your money for something worthless? I know you remember it. And that was a successful persuasion. You could have prevented yourself from buying something useless if you mastered the art of persuasion by making the right decision with a reasonable response.32. What is the passage mainly about?A.
