【题目】 According to a recent investigation conducted by the Associated Press(美联社), many Google services on both Android and iPhone devices store records of user location data, and the bad news is that they do it even if the users have turned off the Location History on devices.
Google replied to the study with the following statement, “There are a number of different ways that Google may use location to improve people’s experience, including Location History, Web and App Activity, and through device-level Location Services. We provide clear descriptions of these tools, and strong controls so people can turn them on or off, and delete their histories at any time.”
That isn’t true. Even with Location History paused, some Google apps automatically store time-stamped location data without asking. The Associated Press has used location data from an Android smartphone with Location History turned off to design a map of the movements of Princeton researcher Gunes Acar. The news agency was able to track his movements and identify visited locations, including his home address.
“The privacy issue affects some two billion users of devices that run Google’s Android operating software and hundreds of millions of worldwide iPhone users who rely on Google for maps or search.” continues the Associated Press. Jonathan Mayer, a Princeton researcher and former chief technologist with the FCC remarked that location history data should be deleted when the users switch off the Location History. “If you’re going to allow users to turn off something called Location History, then all the places where you keep location history should be turned off.” Mayer said, “That seems like a pretty straightforward position to have.”
【1】What is the Associated Press really concerned about?
A.Google fails to improve users’ experience.
B.Google is able to record users’ location history.
C.Users can’t prevent their location data from being recorded.
D.Users are not informed of how to delete their location history.
【2】How does the Associated Press prove that Google is lying?
A.By designing a map of Gunes Acar’s home.B.By tracking the movement of Gunes Acar.
C.By checking Google’s operating software.D.By comparing Google’s location history data.
【3】The purpose of writing the passage is to .
A.encourage the improvement of Google apps
B.warn the public of their over dependence on Google apps
C.raise public concern over privacy issue caused by Google apps
D.appreciate the Associated Press’s contributions to scientific research

【题目】 Picasso paintings regularly sell for millions of dollars, making it unlikely that the majority of art lovers will ever own a work by the famous Spanish painter. But Care International, a Paris-based nonprofit is offering individuals around the world the chance to acquire a Picasso original for just $111 and contributes to a worthy cause at the same time.
As Caroline Elbaor reports for artnet News, Aider les Autres is offering tickets for Nature Morte, a 1921 Picasso painting describing a newspaper and a glass of absinthe(苦艾酒).

Some of the money will be used to buy the painting and cover other costs, but the majority will be donated to the charity.
Care International plans to use the donated money to build and restore wells, washing facilities and toilets in Cameroon, Madagascar and Morocco. Having easy access to clean water not only reduces the risk of water borne diseases, but also reduces the time that people and particularly women and girls have to spend walking to clean water sources.
“Besides the huge waste of time, women and girls are at risk as they walk alone along remote paths and tracks,” Aider les Autres explains. “Girls are also more likely to miss school because of lack of hygiene (卫生). By providing clean water, we will increase girls' attendance by many thousands.”

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly 【1】 (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research 【2】 (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 【3】 (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people 【4】 (feel) more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something 【5】 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an 【6】 (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in 【7】 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 【8】(accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look 【9】the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to 【10】(you) from that person’s point of view.
