17、 say “Im just a housewife” when they introduce themselves. I dont understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife?

18、 be “just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, childs studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A

19、 housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Dont think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home

20、and your own satisfaction. It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you.

Thats the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn ga

25、ther and use social media data. The House of Commons Science and Technology Committees report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard orkitemark(认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and

26、conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and

27、 awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original. It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “We need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller. Would we pay any more attentio

28、n to a kitemark “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information. But what would happen in practice is anot

29、her matter,” he says. Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still dont know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things tha

30、t kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years time,” he says. Shadbolt,whogaveevidencetothecommittee,saystheproblemisthatwedontknowhowcompanies willuseourdatabecausetheirbusinessmodelsandusesofdataarestillevolving.“Largecollectionsofpersonalinformationhavebecomevaluableonlyrece

31、ntly,” hesays. The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people dont expect, even if users have apparently given permission, show that the current situation isnt working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly

32、 they are signing up to, although they would still have to actually read them.12. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to？A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on ho

33、w to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.13. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they th

34、inkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models14. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their co
