People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default(默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set principles for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them，” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I'm considering deactivating (撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't know. That's too high a price to pay.
1.What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C. It profits by selling its users' personal data.
D. It provides loads of information to its users.
2.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A. To improve its users' connectivity.
B. To follow the Federal guidelines.
C. To offer better service to its users.
D. To expand its scope of business.
3.What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?
A. Working out regulations for social-networking sites.
B. Banning the sharing of users' personal information.
C. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.
D. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.
4.Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?
A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.
B. He doesn't want his personal data abused.
C. He finds many of its senior executives untrustworthy.
D. He is annoyed with its frequent rule changes.

Here are some tips that will help you get rid of anxiety over being phoneless or reduce your risk of phone addiction.
Disable the Internet connection. Take up your courage to disable the Internet connection on your smartphone. 1. Needless to say, you will save o lot of cash on it.
Find your passion. 2. Find your dream job and you will leave your “best friend” at least for a while. If you have nothing to do at home, try a new hobby that will distract you from all those apps and social media.
Purchase an ordinary phone. No smartphones. No iphones. Remember those times when we used phones in emergency situations only or when we wanted to invite someone to a party. 3.
Don’t let the fear control you. 4. Claim your joy. I can only speak for myself here, but I think that a smartphone is one of the worst inventions. It’s useful and helpful at times, but it has ruined many happy lives and relationships. That’s because we allow our phones to control us.
5. The fear of being phoneless is a serious problem. It’s like drug or cigarette addiction. If you want to change your life, sell your expensive smartphone, buy an ordinary one, and become a sociable person. There are so many wonderful people that can bring joy into our life. Chatting online is great, but chatting in real life is best.
A. Free your mind.
B. Choose other electronic devices.
C. Keep your mind sharp and alert.
D. Beat your social butterfly wings.
E. Those who love their jobs never feel exhausted and bored.
F. Thus, you’ll spend less time with your phone and more time in real life.
G. I bet some of you remember times when few people had a phone at home.
