Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.

Some experts tell us boundaries are healthy, and it’s important to reveal (暴露) yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

   The key question is: Does that matter?

   When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”

But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收費(fèi)站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (優(yōu)惠券)

   But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it?

What would be the experts advise on the relationships between friends?

   A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.

   B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.

  C. There should be a distance even between friends.

   D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.

The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” because ______.

   A. modern society has finally entered a much opened society

   B. people leave privacy around when using modern technology

   C. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairs

   D. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy

According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.

   A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefit

   B. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secret

   C. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefit

   D. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit

The best title for the passage could be _________?

   A. Is Privacy As Important As Health

   B. What Can Be Done to Protect the Privacy

   C. Does Privacy Matter

   D. Does Modern Technology Reveal Privacy
