Someone's always watching you online...

How do they get my information? Did you know that when you surf the Web, many websites put secret software on your computer? The software collects a large amount of information about you and sends it to Internet companies. The Internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be collected from social media（媒体）sites. There are many ways your information can be used.

What information do they collect and why? First, companies collect your information. The companies find out where you live, what websites you visit, and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are male or female, how old you are, and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which advertisements（广告）are best for you. Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different advertisements. For example, someone who likes sports could see an advertisement for sneakers, and someone who like films might see an advertisement for movie.

What do they do with my information? Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information just so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then these companies will advertise products or other websites to you.

What online habits are tracked（追踪）? Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When your information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don't use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great benefits（福利）. However, that same act of sharing could be problem for your own security（安全）. If someone knows too much about you, they can steal your identity（身份）. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending（假装）to be you.

Conclusion. All of your online habits can be recorded. Studying people's online habits is big business. Your personal information is very valuable to companies. That is how they know who to send their advertisements to. The Internet reaches almost every corner of the world, but the danger is that your personal information might travel that far, too.

正确的，涂A：错误的，涂B。

1.All businesses collect a large amount of information about you online.

2.People who go to the same website may see different advertisements.

3.Data brokers collect your personal information for money.

4.If you don’t get online, your information will be safe.

5.Your personal information can go anywhere with the Internet.

A Letter from Li Hua

Dear Mike,

I am feeling unhappy these days. I am writing to ask you for help. Relations between my parents and me become very difficult. I think they push me too hard. They are always complaining about my study. They say I spend too much time playing on the phone. But I am tired after a whole day’s course. I just want to relax myself a bit by watching funny videos. What can I do?

Yours,

Li Hua.

Li Hua is not alone. There are some students like him. According to a survey about Li Hua and his classmates, students have four main problems when they are homeschooled. First, 30% of the students have problems getting along with their family. Second, 25% of the students have difficulties managing their time. And 28% find it hard to full themselves together to work on their subjects. Last but not least, 33% are dependent on playing online games or watching videos.

However, there is always a solution to a problem. Take communication problem for example. Huang Li has discovered a new way to understand her mom. “Don’t keep your eyes on your phone　 for a long time” is actually saying “I am worried about your eyes”; “Have you finished your homework?” means “I hope you can be your own master in study.” Huang Li says our parents love us. If we can really get the true meaning of what they say, we won’t find it so hard to listen to them.

九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hongkong. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK, my legs were very white. In the UK, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin is, the better the look is. I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!

As I walked around one shop, two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained（抱怨） about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “they weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them."

It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is always greener on other side. If the woman of the west and east thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

1.The writer had white legs because __________.

A.She spent so much money on her legs

B.She lived in a cold and cloudy country

C.She wanted them to be white

D.She didn’t like dark skin

2.What does the underlined （划线的） word in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?

A.时尚的 B.和谐的 C.好玩的 D.有气质的

3.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A.People are always happy with what they have.

B.The grass on both sides is green.

C.People in the west have the best skin.

D.People are always unhappy with what they have.
