       Members of Parliament (MPs) warned that the privacy（隱藏）of thousands of mobile phone users is in danger today because of Google's new tracking system. In a motion（提案）,they also warned that the system offers live tracking of mobiles through a website and called on Google to examine the service.

       The Latitude system can find where a user is . This is then broadcasted live to Google's website. Once the service is activated , the position of a person's phone appears as a blue dot on a map on the screen of whoever is allowed to monitor（監(jiān)控）them . The Latitude feature is being developed by Google as a "fun" way to "keep tabs on someone special", More than a million users around the world have already signed up to the service, Google claims .

However, concerns have been raised about the system. MPs have written to Google demanding extra security(安全) safeguards on the service。

Mr. Brake , one of the MPs who raised the motion, said , "In Britain, we have a tradition of fighting for our freedom. With this new system we face a threat to it . I demand MPs to support this motion and encourage the Government to take action to ensure that Latitude does not represent a threat to our privacy. or our freedom could be in danger."

Google today insisted there was no threat to privacy .It said it was up to users to decide whether to make their location visible to other people and to decide who could monitor their position .The service was designed to help people keep in touch .

However , human rights watchdog Privacy International analyzed the service and claimed it was open to abuse（濫用）. Its report claimed employers could supply employees with phones already set up to use the service without their knowledge, or that users could simply sign up their partner's or child's mobile phone without telling them .

A

Joyce Yuan and her host family

As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!

Just imagine wearing short sleeves or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!

Before the vocation started, we had a little episode at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and I were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt easy and amused. It was just because of the decorations on my pants and the tinfoil(錫紙) around my host mom’ chewing gum! －Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!

Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking up and hardly slept at all.

Luckily, except for all that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm-hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go boating, which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!

When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked brown and full of energy! 

56. According to the passage, the reason why we were taken away to have further checks was that___________.

A. my pants and my host mom’s chewing gum

B. we carried some things that are not permitted

C. they considered us to be thieves

D. we had not passports with us

57.During the travel, the author experienced the following things for the first time EXCEPT_________.

A. sharing a room with a 4-year-old girl               B. going boating

C. seeing manatees and dolphins with her own eyes      D. taking a plane 

58.According to the passage, how many people went to Florida for traveling with the author together?

A. Seven                 B. Eight            C. We don’t know it    D. Nine

59. From the passage, we can infer that the author felt the vacation was_____.

A. frightening             B. amazing          C. memorable              D. challenging

  A mouse looked through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package；what food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!

    Running to the farmyard，the mouse shouted，warning everyone，“There is a mouse trap in the house，there is a mouse trap in the house．”The chicken，with her head high，glared at the mouse and said，“Shut up．Little Ugly．This is a great concern to you，but it has nothing to do with me：I can’t be troubled by it．”

    The mouse turned to the pig and told him．“There is a mouse trap in the house．”“I am so sorry，Mr Mouse，”said the pig sympathetically，“but there is nothing I can do about it but pray；you are always in my prayers．”

    The mouse turned to the cow，who said，“A mouse trap，am I in great danger，huh?”

    Now the mouse had to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone．

    That very night a sound was heard through the house，like that of a mouse trap catching its prey．The farmer’wife rushed to see what was caught．In the darkness，she did not see it was a big poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught．The snake bit the farmer’s wife．The farmer rushed her to the hospital．She rerturned home with a fever．It is said that drinking fresh chicken soup will help treat fever，so the farmer took his sharp knife to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient．His wife’s sickness continued，so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock．To feed them，the farmer killed the pig．The farmer’s wife did not get well，in fact，she died，and so many people came for her funeral．The farmer had the cow killed to provide for all of them to eat．

    So next time when someone is facing a problem，don’t say that it has nothing to do with you．

57．We could see from the passage that the mouse was           ．

    A．good at cheating others                          B．dishonest
