24、. He got into a state of quiet.C Enough “meaningless drivel”. Thats the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data. The House of Commons Science and Technology Committees report, released last wee
25、k, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions. “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone
26、,” 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 awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original. It is not yet clear who would administer
27、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 attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel S
28、hadbolt 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 another matter, he says. Other disorganization such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not r
29、ead 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 that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years time,” he says.Shadbolt,whogaveevidence
30、tothecommittee,saystheproblemisthatwedontknowhowcompanieswilluseourdatabecausetheirbusinessmodelsandusesofdataarestillevolving.Largecollectionsofpersonalinformationhavebecomevaluableonlyrecently,hesays. The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people dont expect, ev
31、en 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 they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.9. What does the phrase “ meaningl
32、ess drivel” in Paragraph 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 how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.10. It can be inferr
33、ed 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 thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their
34、business models11.

35、xecutives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was t
36、hat Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they saidat least as it was presented by Shakespeareto take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar
37、was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeares wisdom for profitable ends. N
38、one more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contac
39、ts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies. The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individua
40、l scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , for example, Caesars sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the pro
41、grammes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henrys winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. I
42、nstead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelman had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldnt make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very s
43、pecific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesars pride, which led to his murder, and Brutuss mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business: when and how do you resist the boss?12. According to the passage, the A
44、delmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to _.A. help executives to understand Shakespeares plays betterB. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeares playsC. provide case studies of Shakespeares plays in literature workshops D. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespea
45、res plays.13. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D. To warn executives against power misuse.14. It can be inferred
46、 from the passage that _.A. the Adelmans programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeares plays.C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.D. Shakespeare has played an important rol
47、e in the management field.15. The best title for the passage is _.A. Shakespeares plays: Executives reconsider corporate cultureB. Shakespeares plays: An essential key to business successC. Shakespeares plays: A lesson for business motivationD. Shakespeares plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic r
