【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 qualified for the national petition by winning a regional petition on Jan. 17 in Columbus. By winning the national event, the students earned an allexpenses paid trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala., according to a Bexley school district news report.Future City aims to stir (激發(fā)) interest in science, technology, engineering and math among young people. Bexley team members were Tom Krajnak, Abby Sharp, Wyatt Peery, Elizabeth Maher, Aaron Hutchinson and Truman Haycock. They work in teams under the guidance of a teacher, Margaret Englehardt, and a volunteer engineer, Mark Sherman, design and build a city of tomorrow. Mayor John Brennan presented the students during a recent Bexley City Council meeting. Each team in the Future City petition plans its city using Sim City software and creates a model to show a physical representation of one section of the city. Team members must write both an essay about the yearly theme and an abstract about their city. They also must make a presentation to judges.Focusing on ecoresponsibility, the Bexley team built “NovoMondum,” an Icelandic city in the year 2171. Krajnak said the team’s project included a new water system for each resident unit and a 500word essay on using bacteria to purify water. “We used our essay and abstract (摘要) to build a model,” he said. “It was hard to organize which building would go where, what each building does and how to make it look good.”Englehardt said her students did a good job answering impromptu (即席) questions during the regional petition. “They can think on their feet,” she said. Principal Harley Williams said the school is very proud of the students’ performance.46.

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，it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend，a marketing pany, a boss，a policeman or a criminal. Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen — the 21st century equal to being caught naked (裸露的). Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it39。s important to reveal (透露) yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain. The digital breadcrumbs (面包屑) you leave everywhere 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 reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no”. When opinion polls (民意調(diào)查) ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic (悲觀的) about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.” But people say one thing and do another. Only a small part of Americans change any
