Someday a stranger will read your without your permission or scan the websites you39。ve visited. 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, it39。s likely 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 pany, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen the 2lst century equivalent of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it39。s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑 ) 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 ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism 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 tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收費(fèi)站 ) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down 10 supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits 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 50centsoff coupon(優(yōu)惠券 ). But privacy does matter at least sometimes. It39。s like health。 when you have it, you don39。t notice it. Only when it39。s gone do you wish you39。d done more to protect it. 注意:此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡 2 上作 答。 62.
