    David Cameron mistakenly left his eight-year-old daughter in a pub by herself when he drove off without her, as was reported last night.

    The Prime Minister(首相)--who had been enjoying Sunday drinks with his family near Chequers--only realized his eldest daughter was missing when he arrived back at his official country house.

    The Camerons had been drinking at the Plough Inn, in Cadsden, Buckinghamshire, with their three children and two other families. As they were to leave, Nancy went off to the toilet without telling them.

    The Prime Minister was driven back to Chequers, which is two miles from the pub, with protection officers in one car. Mr Cameron thought that Nancy was in the car with his wife, while she thought that their daughter had jumped in with the Prime Minister.

    A spokesman for the Prime Minister last night said he was worried when he realized what had happened. They later confirmed that Mr Cameron returned to the pub to pick up Nancy.

    “Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well,” the spokesman said. “The Prime Minister went down straight away to get her.”

    When Mr Cameron arrived back at the pub, he found his daughter happily helping the owner of the pub. It is understood she had been left by herself for 15 minutes.

    The spokesman refused to discuss whether Mr Cameron had drunk alcohol. “He had gone with friends at lunchtime, with a number of families with children, and they left in various different vehicles. As you know, the Prime Minister is a very busy man but he always tries to live as normal a life as possible with his family.” he said.

    Last night a pub “insider” said: “You’d have thought that someone would have done a headcount or something.”

    It’s not like you can look up David Cameron in the phonebook and then ring to say you’ve left your daughter behind. It’s frightening that the Prime Minister of Britain can forget something so important as his own daughter.

    1.What can we learn about the Camerons?

    A. Mr Cameron drove home alone.

    B. Nancy was left at the pub by chance.

    C. Mrs Cameron drove to see her friends.

    D. The children went to the pub for a party.

    2.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

    A. The British can telephone the Camerons easily.

    B. The Prime Minister has the design to live a normal life.

    C. The Prime Minister’s drunk driving annoyed the public.

    D. The British were shocked at the news about the Camerons.

    3.Where is the passage probably taken from?

    A. A story book. B. A biography.

    C. A magazine. D. A newspaper.

    People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.

    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 (默认)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 “less satisfying experience.

    Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, 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 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, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling 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 users who want to get married.

    B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.

    C. It makes money 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 unwilling 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 obey the Federal guidelines.

    C. To improve its users’ connection

    D. To expand its business.

    4. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?

    A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.

    B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.

    C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.

    D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.
