Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you, I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught, fire, there was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames.

Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for fire damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I am very sorry about this.

Much love,

Susan.

An 18-year-old girl from Austria is taking her parents to court for posting over 500 photos of her on Facebook since 2009, without her permission.

Anna Meier has apparently become fed up with her parents refusal to take down intimate and embarrassing photos of her dating back to when she was a toddler, and is now seeking justice in court.

She said that when she was 11 years old, her parents started sharing photos of her with several hundreds of Facebook friends, without ever asking if it was alright with her. “They didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot – every stage was photographed and then made public,” she said. The girl added that she was only able to see the photos posted on Facebook by her parents when she was 14, after setting up her own account on the world’s most popular social network. Angry and upset, Anna asked her mother and father to remove the over 500 photos of her immediately, but they refused. She kept asking them over the years, but faced with constant refusal, she felt that she had no other way to coerce them than taking them to court. Which she did as soon as she turned 18, this year.

Although Anna is convinced that her right to privacy has been violated, her parents, on the other hand, see nothing wrong with posting baby photos of her. However, a German law firm advises parents not to post photos of children on Facebook without　 their　 consent.　 Apart　 from　 legal　 consequences　 and　 subsequent　 compensation,　 they　 also　 risk　 making　 their children-especially those of school age-targets for cyber-bullying(网络暴力).

1.What does the underlined word “intimate”(in Paragraph 2) mean?

A. close　　 B. shameful

C. private　　 D. ugly

2.In which year was Anna able to see the photos posted by her parents?

A. 1998　　 B. 2002

C. 2009　　 D. 2012

3.Why are take her parents to court?

A. The photos her parents posted were embarrassing

B. Her parents refused to remove the photos of her.

C. She became fed up with her parents

D. She wanted her parents to be punished

4.What does the German law firm advises parents to do?

A. Protect children from cyber-bullying

B. Never post photos of children

C. Post photos of children with their permission

D. Always take children seriously
