These days I am on my very best behavior whenever I leave the house. If I am wearing pantyhose(连裤袜), I double-check to ensure there is no hole on it. I drive thoughtfully as if I’m being tested for a license. I won’t even allow myself to frown when another driver is blocking my path.

My kids have noticed my fear in public. “Why are you looking all around, Mum?” they asked.

“You can’t be too careful,” I said. “Every single person around us is hiding one of cell phone cameras. They are glad to catch somebody doing something stupid or embarrassing. Then they’ll put it on YouTube and a million people will see. I’m not taking any chances.”

“But I don't think anyone is interested in filming you putting on your lipstick for a YouTube video.” answered one kid.

“Oh, really? Don't count me out so quickly.” I said.

Actually, in some cases, I am all for public shaming. For example, I admire the cleverness of the man who put up a website where he posts photos of cars and license numbers of people who occupy two parking spots. And I take secret pleasure in photos of politicians with their fingers in their noses. Throwing light on bad behavior can awake the sleepy conscience(良知).

But what about the poor guy who has already had a bad day at work and then loses his temper at a rude store clerk? What about the woman whose only crime is a terrible judgment error at the hairdresser? Do they deserve to have their images uploaded onto the Internet for all the world to see?

None of this is new, of course. Allen Funt pioneered the art of catching people during unguarded moments back in the 1940s with “Candid Camera”. But there’s a difference. On “Candid Camera”, people are set up in staged situations, such as riding in an elevator that goes sideways. And they must give permission before they enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame. Now we are a nation of Allen Funts. This can’t be a good thing.

1.What is the author like?

A. She is poor at driving.

B. She is a very fashionable dresser.

C. She is very cautious about her behavior.

D. She is sick to death of others’ rudeness.

2.What is the author truly afraid of?

A. Making mistakes before her kids.

B. Being filmed while doing something stupid.

C. Getting involved in a quarrel with others.

D. Watching videos on YouTube.

3.From the text, the author thinks it good________.

A. to keep the poor’s mistakes secret.

B. to download images from the Internet.

C. to take pleasure in making funny videos.

D. to make the public aware of bad behavior.

4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?

A. People can be easily caught in embarrassing moments.

B. We are permitted to upload images onto the Internet.

C. It was once a fashion to film people in unguarded moments.

D. Cell phones make it convenient to catch illegal behavior.
