Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone.That is，we can complete two goals with only one effort or action.But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right.If someone does something bad to you，you should not do the same to him.

It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken.In Apple’s case，developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information，” Mr.Schumer said.“They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”
On Sunday，Mr.Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light.Claudia Bourne Farrell，an F．T.C.spokeswoman，said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.
“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos，address book，and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission，” Mr.Schumer wrote in his letter to the F．T.C.“If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion，then surely technology exists to close it，and that’s exactly what must happen.”
Mr.Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem，then he would be forced to take the issue further.
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues.“I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation，” he said.“If it’s not changed，then we’ll turn to the F．T.C.，and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”

Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a notsogood influence—on this generation of American teenagers.More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey.Threequarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly positive” effect on their students’ research habits and skills.But 64 percent said the technologies “do more to distract(使……分心) students than to help them academically.” And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an “easily distracted generation with short attention spans.”
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project.Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a coauthor of the report.Ms.Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster.“Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging.Young people favor these tools.The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content，and not just sort of consumers.”
But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy.They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet.Judy says these students haven’t developed the skills to determine the quality of online information.“It’s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to，because in a world in which things happen quickly，you do need to step back，reflect and analyze the information you have.”
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all：being able to quickly find information online.Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers.They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.
9．The text mainly tells us
.
A．all the students use digital tools
B．the Internet is playing a key role
C．teachers encourage using digital tools
D．digital tools bring about benefits and problems
10．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
11．The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means
.
A．students do not have the right digital tools
B．students do not always have access to the Internet
C．students haven’t the ability to adjust themselves
D．students can’t judge online information properly
12．Some students don’t tend to work hard because
.
A．they can get answers on the Internet quickly
B．printed books and libraries around aren’t enough
C．the Internet can’t make students concentrate
D．they can copy each others’ work without being punished
