When people wanted to find their way to a place in the past,they used to have to buy a map.But they don't have to do that any more.Now they can either buy a GPS,or go online and find maps for just about anywhere.

Is this an improvement?Perhaps,but some people think some of the online companies are going too far,because they have been sending out cars with photographic equipment on their roofs,to photograph every street and house in the country.

One of these cars arrived on a Wednesday morning in the quiet English village of Broughton.The camera was on a meter-high stick an top of the car and could see over walls and into people's gardens.Some of the villagers came and stood around the car,and then asked the driver and photographer to go away.Reporters quickly arrived on the scene,and soon the event was news all over the country.

Of course,the online company in question says that it is simply collecting information that people on the Internet want.But the villagers feel differently."We used to have privacy in this country—now companies just come and take photographs of our home without even asking,"said one villager."It' not right.We mustn't let this happen.We mustn't lose our right to live privately."

There is,of course,no law to prevent people from taking photographs of houses,so the villagers cannot go to court.But many people are asking the question:"OK,it's legal,lout is rt right?"

1.How is Paragraph 1 developed?

A. By analyzing causes. B. By describing experiences.

C. By ma king comparisons. D. By providing explanations.

2.What does the underlined phrase "going too far" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Doing a lot of work. B. Walking a long distance.

C. Taking more pictures than necessary. D. Behaving in a way that upsets people.

3.How do the locals in Broughton feel about the online company?

A. Uncaring. B. Angry.

C. Friendly. D. Thankful.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Why is GPS Important? B. The Improvement of Maps

C. It's Legal—But is It Right? D. The Development of the Internet

In a time when ivory poaching (偷獵) has gotten so bad that it threatens to wipe out several animal species, a young Dutch designer is creating “egalitarian (平等主義) jewelry^ made of our very own ivory—teeth.

Lucie Majerus got the idea for her “human ivory” collection after having her wisdom teeth removed. She kept them and soon realized they would make great material for a jewelry collection. “Why wouldn’t we value our own material instead of the precious material from other species? And what if we mine our own ivory and turn it into pearls?” she asks.

Her own teeth became a ring，but in order to create a whole collection, she needed more material, and since having more of her teeth removed wasn’t a very pleasant choice, she asked her dentist to save his patient’s unwanted teeth. Most people choose not to keep their pulled teeth, so they are usually donated to dentistry schools. Majerus also received the lost teeth of two of her teachers at Design Academy Eindhoven, so she had a nice supply of human ivory to experiment with.

To turn human teeth into attractive pieces of jewelry, Lucie Majerus first bleaches (漂白) them, and then uses a stone polishing machine to shape the teeth into various shapes.

Majerus displayed her human ivory jewelry collection at this year’s Dutch Design Week, and claims that people’s reaction was mostly positive. “Surprisingly, most people aren’t frightened at the sight of the jewelry, but really like the idea,” Majerus told Fast Co Design. “Some regret that they didn’t keep their tooth at the dentist and some, who will have teeth taken out soon, are now looking forward to it.”

1.When did Majerus get the idea of collecting human ivory?

A. After she bought a ring.

B. After her wisdom teeth were pulled out.

C. Before she was lacking in pearls.

D. Before her wisdom teeth appeared.

2.Seeing Majerus’s human ivory jewelry collection, most people felt .

A. frightened. B. curious

C. sad D. interested

3.It can be inferred form the next that .

A. Majerus is the first woman to create jewelry using human teeth

B. other species teeth are more precious than human teeth

C. most people don’t like keeping their pulled teeth at home

D. Majerus’s teachers objected to her experiments with teeth

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Elephants and Ivory

B. Human Ivory Jewelry

C. A Designer Removed Her Teeth

D. The Drawbacks of Human Teeth
