Communities across the world are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. The efforts are well intentioned, but banning facial recognition is the wrong way to fight against modern surveillance （监 视）.Generally, modern mass surveillance has three broad components: identification, correlation and discrimination. Facial recognition is a technology that can be used to identify people without their consent. Once we are identified, the data about who we are and what we are doing can be correlated with other data. This might be movement data, which can be used to "follow” us as we move throughout our day. It can be purchasing data, Internet browsing data, or data about who we talk to via email or text. It might be data about our income, ethnicity, lifestyle, profession and interests. There is an entire industry of data brokers who make a living by selling our data without our consent. It's not just that they know who we are; it's that they correlate what they know about us to create profiles about who we are and what our interests are. The whole purpose of this process is for companies to treat individuals differently. We are shown different ads on the Internet and receive different offers for credit cards. In the future, we might be treated differently when we walk into a store, just as we currently are when we visit websites. It doesn't matter which technology is used to identify people. What's important is that we can be consistently identified over time. We might be completely anonymous （匿名的）in a system that uses unique cookies to track us as we browse the Internet, but the same process of correlation and discrimination still occurs. Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process. A ban on facial recognition won't make any difference. The problem is that we are being identified without our knowledge or consent, and society needs rules about when that is permissible. Similarly, we need rules about how our data can be combined with other data, and then bought and sold without our knowledge or consent. The data broker industry is almost entirely unregulated now. Reasonable laws would prevent the worst of their abuses. Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate. Discrimination based on protected characteristics like race and gender is already illegal, but those rules are ineffectual against the current technologies of surveillance and control. When people can be identified and their data correlated at a speed and scale previously unseen, we need new rules. Today, facial recognition technologies are receiving the force of the tech backlash （抵制），but focusing on them misses the point. We need to have a serious conversation about all the technologies of identification, correlation and discrimination, and decide how much we want to be spied on and what sorts of influence we want them to have over our lives. 【1】According to Para. 2, with facial recognition _______. A.one’s lifestyle changes greatly B.one's email content is disclosed C.one's profiles are updated in time D.one's personal information is released 【2】We can learn from the passage that _______. A.discrimination based on new tech surveillance is illegal B.different browsing data bring in different advertisements C.using mobiles anonymously keeps us from being correlated D.data brokers control the current technologies of surveillance 【3】The underlined part “the point，,in the last paragraph probably refers to _______. A.people's concern over their safety B.the nature of the surveillance society C.proper regulation of mass surveillance D.the importance of identification technology 【4】The author wrote this passage to _______. A.call for banning facial recognition technologies B.advocate the urgent need for changes in related laws C.inform readers of the disadvantages of facial recognition D.evaluate three broad components in modem mass surveillance |

There is no need to say again in business psychology that high self-confidence is key to career success. Actually I think low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful. Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful. It prevents performance by including fear, worry, and stress, which may drive people to give up sooner or later. 【1】 . If your confidence is low, rather than extremely low, you stand a better chance of succeeding than if you have high self-confidence. 【2】 . Therefore, you will be self-critical. Most people get trapped in their optimistic prejudice, so they tend to listen to positive feedback(反馈)and ignore negative feedback. Although this may help them come across as being confident to others, in any area of competition an achievement is 10% performance and 90% preparation.【3】 . Lower self-confidence can get you to work harder and prepare more. If you are careful about your goals, you will work harder when you lack confidence in your abilities. 【4】 , low confidence is negative. If you really want to do what you want, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it because it will make you know the distance to the goals. Lower self-confidence reduces the possibilities of pride and disappointment. 【5】 , they are more likely to admit mistakes instead of blaming others. This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence because it points to the fact that low self-confidence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society. A.Actually when you are careless about your goals B.Lower self-confidence makes you focus on negative feedback C.So low confidence can only prevent you from succeeding D.Thus, the more you know weaknesses, the better prepared you will be E.But appropriate low confidence helps you adjust your goals to complete F.Indeed, if people have low self-confidence G.Then if you care about your inability very much |
