Unit 6 Crossing Cultures 阅读拔尖练
外刊阅读——学会地道英语 个人信息的泄露与保护
As the Internet and digital technology become a bigger part of our lives, more of our data becomes publicly ready for use, leading to questions about privacy. So, how do we connect with the growing digital world without giving in the safety of our information and our right to privacy
Imagine that you want to learn a new language. You search“Is German a difficult language ” on your phone. Then you read an article with advice on learning German. You use a search service to find German classes. It asks you to turn on location services to find classes near you. You click“accept”.Later, while you' re sending an email, an advertisement about a local language school teaching German pops up. You wonder how they' ve known. At all steps of your online activity, your phone and websites are collecting data and following your behavior online.
Many of us share our locations, travel plans, opinions, shopping interests and family photos online——as services like ordering a takeaway meal, booking a plane ticket or buying new clothes now take place online and require us to give out our data.
Every search you make, service you use, message you send and product you buy is part of your“digital footprint”: Companies and online platforms use this“footprint” to track exactly what you are doing,from what links you click on to how much time you spend on a website. From your online behavior,they can guess what you are interested in and what things you might want to buy. By selling your data or providing products aimed at your interests, companies can make big money.
Can you protect your data
Sometimes our personal data is shared online with our agreement. However, our data often travels farther than we realize, and can be used in ways that we did not expect. We don't even notice our personal data has been lost or shared without being allowed until the news about our data being leaked is reported in newspapers or on TV.
People begin to realize the possible dangers of sharing information online. As the Internet users, it is important that we pay more attention to who collects our data, where it is stored and how it is used. As the ways in which we use the Internet continue to grow and change, we will need to stay informed and keep needing new laws, and better information about how to protect ourselves.

时文阅读——讲好中国故事 中国立法保护母亲河——长江
China has passed a law to protect the Yangtze River, which has been described as the“mother river”of the Chinese nation. Yangtze River Protection Law took effect on March 1,2021. It is the first law to protect the waterway in China.
The 6,397-km-long Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and provides an important lifeline for hundreds of millions of people. It covers an area of about 1.8 million km , about a fifth of the national total. The Yangtze River provides a third of the country's freshwater resources, but it has suffered a series of environmental problems in recent years, such as heavy pollution and decrease in fish populations. To solve these problems, China put a 10-year fishing ban to protect fish resources.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, around 231,000 fishermen said they would give up fishing along the Yangtze River to protect the“mother river”. An officer said that more support should be given to those fishermen to help them find new jobs and places to live. He also called for stronger efforts to prevent illegal fishing.
The law includes not only resource protection and anti-pollution measures, but also design and management, green development and other fields. The government says the purpose of the law is to strengthen environmental protection, to use resources efficiently and to ensure sustainable development.
