2009年12月,全球三大评级公司相继下调了希腊的主权信用评级。读下面文字。 2010年2月20日外电报道 为了挽救欧元,德国及其他欧元区成员国计划联手向希腊提供200亿至250亿欧元的紧急援助。 2010年3月5日外电报道 德国经济部长表示,德国不会为帮助希腊解决债务危机“掏一分钱”。此前德国总理早已重申,希腊应首先“自救”,制定自己的财政紧缩计划来削减巨额财政赤字。在此之前,德方无意就所谓金援措施展开讨论 回答下面试题。 36Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission
or scan the Website you've visited,Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card
purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling
habits.
In fact, it's likely
that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you
without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing
company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way
you never intended to be seen ---- the 21st century replacement of being
caught naked.
Psychologists tell us
boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends,
family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain.
The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you
leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where
you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal
what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you
simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is:
Does that matter?
For many Americans,
the answer apparently is "no."
When opinion polls
ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A
survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents
saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers
me."
But people say one
thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an
effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at
tollbooths(收费站) to avoid
using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down
supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run
a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information
like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off
coupon(优惠卷)。
But privacy does
matter ---- at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't
notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.
