【題目】Have you ever used Facebook? Many people are being lured (引誘) onto it with the promise of a fun,free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information.Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening.Even if they know what the company is up to,they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem,however,is that the company keeps changing the rules.Early on,you keep everything private.That was the great thing about Facebook — you could create your own little private network.Last year,the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city,your photo,your friends' names—were set,by default (默認(rèn)) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage,the company is simply making changes to improve its service,and if people don't share information,they have a “l(fā)ess satisfying experience”.
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.Its original business model,which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page,totally failed.Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.In April,Senator(議員) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites.“I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning,which is why I'm considering deactivating(撤銷) my account.Facebook is a handy site,but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't know.That's too high a price to pay.
【1】What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C. It profits by selling its users'personal data.
D. It provides loads of information to its users.
【2】What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A. They are reluctant to give up their personal information.
B. They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook.
C. They don't identify themselves when using the website.
D. They care very little about their personal information.
【3】Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A. To provide better service to its users.
B. To follow the Federal guidelines.
C. To improve its users'connectivity.
D. To expand its scope of business.
【4】Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?
A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.
B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn't want his personal data abused.
D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

【題目】Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a life-long love for theatre.
The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26-funded with 2. 5 million of taxpayers' money-was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.
The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13. 6 million in 2007,up 10 percent on2006,itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost 470 million.
One theatre source criticized the Government's priorities (優(yōu)先考慮的事)in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying : " I don't know why the Government's wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices. "
There was praise for the Government's plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said :" I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London. "
Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.
Mr. Burnham said : " A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it's ‘not for them'. It's time to change this perception. "
Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said : "The real is-sue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area. "
【1】 Critics of the plan argued that __________.
A. the theatres would be overcrowded

A. benefit the television industry
B. focus on producing better plays

【3】 Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?
A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.
B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.
C. It may not benefit all the young people.
D. Free tickets are offered once every day.
【4】 We can infer from the passage that in England __________.
A. many plays are not for young people
B. many young people don't like theatre
