2019屆高考英語(yǔ)知識(shí)點(diǎn)專(zhuān)題復(fù)習(xí)A Social Survey—My Neighbourhood 社會(huì)調(diào)查——我的鄰居
psychologists tell us boundaries (dividing line) are healthy，and that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages，at appropriate times.but few boundaries remain.the digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like.in some cases，a simple google search can 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 (民意測(cè)驗(yàn)) ask americans about privacy，most say they are concerned about losing it.a survey found an overwhelming (very large) pessimism about privacy，with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away，and that bothers me.”
but people say one thing and do another.only a tiny part of americans change any behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy.few people turn down a tollbooth (收費(fèi)站) to avoid using the ezpass system that can track automobile movements.and few turn down supermarket loyalty cards.privacy economist alissanfro acquisti has a series of tests that reveal that people will give personal information like social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff 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.
