26、   For several months, Cara has been working up the courage to approach her mom about what she saw on Instagram. Not long ago, the 11-year-old discovered that her mom had been posting photos of her, without her permission for much of her life.

Like most other modern kids, Cara grew up surrounded by social media. Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and Instagram have been around since she was a baby. While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves, their parents, schools, sports teams, and organizations have been creating an online presence for them since birth. The shock of realizing that details about your life have been shared online without your agreement or knowledge has become a pivotal(关键的) experience in the lives of many teens.

Recently a parenting blogger(博主) wrote in a Washington Post essay that despite her 14-year-old daughter's horror at discovering that her mother had shared years of personal stories and information about her online, she simply could not stop posting on her blog and social media. The writer claimed that promising her daughter that she would stop posting about her publicly on the Internet "would mean shutting down a vital part of myself, which isn't necessarily good for me or her. "

Cara and other teens say they hope to lay down ground rules for their parents, Cara wants her mom to tell her the next time she posts about her, and the 11-year-old would like veto power over any photo, which exposes her privacy or is against her wish, before it goes up.

Some legislatures(立法机构) are also getting involved. In 2014, Europe's highest court ruled that Internet providers must give users the "right to be forgotten". Under the ruling, European citizens can apply to have past damaging information, including crimes committed as a minor, hidden from Google search results. And in France, strict privacy laws mean kids can sue their own parents for publishing secret or private details of their lives without agreement In the United States, however, teens aren't offered such protections, and many simply walk on eggshells.

C. Many social media have a great influence on teens' life.

D. Many teens' life has been shared online without their permission.

【2】How does the blogger's daughter feel when knowing her mother posting her information?

A. She feels happy. B. She feels terrible.

【3】What does the underlined word "veto" mean in the fourth paragraph?

A. The right to say no.

B. The right to choose a leader.

C. The right to make something perfect

D. The right to change the original material.

【4】What is the author's attitude towards American online situation?

B. He pays no attention to the situation at all.

C. He thinks American government should make laws.

D. He feels a little bit disappointed at the current situation.

Mr Kader said. Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address. so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you."

I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk—I had the bicycle.

28、   'Our most beautiful part is our bridge because we can make wind energy by this bridge and our main transportation is used by this bridge. ' The future city competition puts young teens in charge of building a city that can respond to a challenge. This year's challenge is resilience (重建能力) after a natural disaster like an earthquake. The models must be built with recycled materials for less than 100 dollars.

But behind this is some serious engineering. Each group has to present its city's resilience features to the audience and judges. 'The sea walls are made with concrete and steel to reduce the tidal waves impact on the shoreline. ' And it's about more than just infrastructure(基础设施). Judges want to know that you've thought about your citizens, too. 'If someone wants to design a building that's 50 floors, we make an agreement like maybe 20 of them have to be low-income housing. ' Engineering Outreach Group Discover (EOGD) has run the competition for nearly three decades. Director of programs Thea Sahr says it is an effective teaching tool. She tells of one boy who asked his teacher when they would get back to the real learning. 'You know the kind we were just sitting there reading the books and telling you the answers, ' and she said 'well what do you know about storm water that you didn't know last week. What do you know about scale? And you're having a really good time while you're doing it. ' He says this is learning. ' I want to do more of this. '

The winners take home 7,500 dollars for their school’s science program, and get a trip to a science focused summer camp. This year's winners from Warwick Middle School in Pennsylvania say they also learned real-world skills like dealing with failure. 'The hardest part was trying not to get frustrated when something didn't work. And I think our team members really contributed to that. Communication is key. ' Listen, when you're building a city, engineering is just part of it.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”
