30、 is the authors attitude towards peoples panic?A. Objective. B. Supportive.C. Doubtful. D. Understandable.CWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter,
31、 you just look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less
32、of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College. The sharing economy got big dur
33、ing the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt the car anymore because theres technol
34、ogy out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared to six in ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“
35、Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and thats a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats going to be a plus.” Schor continued. To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger t
36、han trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle,
37、you can find me on Twitter. 39.

44、k mail through e-mail and on social networks like Twitter. They can also use the 500 million stolen e-mail -addresses to plan other crimes.

45、 the latest events to raise doubts about security at big and small companies. Last winter, hackers stole 40 million credit card numbers and 70 million addresses, phone numbers and other personal information from the retailer Target Corp.

46、Prisco is a CEO of a security firm. He says security hacks are more common than many people and companies realize. This issue reminds me of an iceberg, where 90% of it is actually under water, Prisco said in an e-mailed statement. So many cyber breaches today are not actually reported, because compa

78、ent of transportation in the major cities of China, more and more traffic problems are arising. A serious one is heavy traffic. Very often, we see cars in front of us parked on both sides of the street, driving down the street, or stuck in traffic with drivers waiting impatiently. Therere mainly two
79、 factors that cause this problem. In the first place, vast population contributes to heavy traffic and growing numbers of private cars add to the pressure on the severe traffic conditions. Whats worse, some people are unaware of the importance of obeying traffic regulations, so its not uncommon to see accidents blocking traffic. Personally, I think that rather than promote private cars, its better to improve the public transportation system with scientific road design and proper management. More importantly, never can traffic jams be eased without self-disciplined citizens.
