G.You may consider seeking outside help.
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 girlfriend, 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-21st century is the equal of being
caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries (dividing line) are healthy,and that it"s important to reveal yourself to
friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain.The digital bread pieces
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?
When opinion polls (民意测验) ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about
losing it. A survey found an overwhelming (very large) pessimism 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 protect their privacy.Few people turn down a tollbooth (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass
system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy
economist Alissanfro Acquisti has a series of tests that reveal that people will give personal information
like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券).
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.

eight. That may not be too surprising to anyone who has kids.
Humans are born with a sense of fairness that most other animals seem not to share, but it"s not been
clear exactly when this concept starts to develop.
Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues conducted a series of tests to measure just how much children care
about equality at different ages.In three different versions of a game, children were asked to choose
between two ways of sharing a number of sweets with themselves and an unfamiliar partner.They could
choose, for example, between one for me and one for you, or just having one for themselves.
At the age of three, children were "almost completely selfish", says Zhao.
They refused to give sweets away even if it made no difference to themselves.But by the age of eight,
children generally preferred the fair option, sharing a prize equally rather than keeping it all to themselves.
Several other factors influenced how fair the children were.The team found that children without
brothers or sisters were 28% more likely to share than children with brothers or sisters.On the other
hand, the youngest children in a family were 17% less willing to share than children who had only
younger brother or sister.
In addition, if children knew that their partner was from the same playgroup or school, they were
more concerned about being fair.This suggests that being nice to people you know is something that
develops a sense of equality.

say 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and financial crises.
To deal with the situation, the UN World Food Program has started a project to help small farmers.
These farmers are mainly women.Many cannot produce enough food even to feed and support their own
families.
The new effort is called Purchase for Progress, or P4P.It aims to connect local farmers with
dependable markets.That way, they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at competitive prices
.P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years.
The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation, led by a son of the American investor
Warren Buffett.The government of Belgium is also supporting the project in a former colony (殖民地),
now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and Central
America.
Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies, governments and nongovernmental
organizations to help increase crop production.The World Bank Group and other partners are to help
train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills.
The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using methods
carried out by the project.That will be enough to feed 250,000 people.
P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and longterm agreements for buying corn, wheat and
other food crops.About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.
Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in developing
countries.Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large amount
of food from small farmers.The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from developing
countries, but through larger trading organizations.
