    May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States．This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall．But according to a recent report, there is a great change. Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever.   

    These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier.     On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time. Students may not like being put on waiting lists. Also, common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some universities send gifts.    

    For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous.     The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student’s loans. So lately, top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students.

       The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down. This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finishes high school. The number is not expected to start rising again until 2015.

    A. Besides, top colleges are facing changes in the population.

    B. What contributes to it?

    C. But a mistake can be costly if it happens.

    D. But top colleges ignore them.

    E. They have international students who know English.

    F. It can mean several acceptances to choose from.

    G. They cannot afford college as planned.

    Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices． The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone． Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security．
    Allan Friedman, the research director, says, “All wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks． This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it． Law enforcement（执法） agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data． And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information．
    Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices． They said Apple’s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information． The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded （上传） to any computer that the device is connected to． The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer．
    Allan Friedman says, “This raises additional concerns． There’s the idea that because it’s on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications（恶意程序） that I pay for or that I’m tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it．”
    Apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iPhone”． It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cellphone towers near the user’s location． This information is meant to help the iPhone quickly find its location when needed．
    Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google． The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems． Allan Friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws． He says, “There aren’t strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it． And perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?”
    【小题1】Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?

    A．Because the systems can store users’ information
    B．Because many users have suffered loss after using them．
    C．Because it is thought to threaten users’ privacy．
    D．Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems．
    【小题2】 Allan Friedman believes that ________．
    A．wireless companies focus on personal privacy．
    B．people are forbidden to get access to private data at will
    C．phone companies may sell private information secretly
    D．customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking
    【小题3】 What do we know from Paragraph 3?
    A． Location tracking information is stored online．
    B．Apple’s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information．
    C．Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone．
    D．Apple’s newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users．
    【小题4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Apple denies that it tracks the location of users．
    B．The researchers may misunderstand the Apple’s systems．
    C．The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications．
    D．The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user’s information．
