2、ading Comprehensio(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Bloggers learn price of telling too much Blogs are everywhere increasingly, the place where young people go to bare their souls, to vent, to gossip. And often they do so with fervor and little self-editing, posting their innermost thoughts for any number of web surf
3、ers to see. There is a freedom in it, as 23-year-old Allison Martin says: “Since the people who read my blog are friends or acquaintances of mine, my philosophy is to be totally honest whether its about how uncomfortable my hat are or my opinions about First Amendment law,“ says Martin, who lives in
4、 suburban Chicago and has been blogging for four years. Some are, however, finding that putting ones life online can have a price. A few bloggers, for instance, have been fired for writing about work on personal online journals. And Maya Marcel-Keyes, daughter of conservative politician Alan Keyes,
5、discovered the trickiness of providing personal details online when her discussions on her blog about being a lesbian became an issue during her fathers recent run for a U.S. Senate seat in Illinois (he made anti-gay statements during the campaign). Experts say such incidents belong to a growing tre
6、nd in which frank outpourings online are causing personal and public dramas, often taking on a life they couldnt have if the Web had not come along and turned individuals into publishers. Some also speculate that more scandalous blog entries will have ramifications (支流) down the road. “I would bet t
7、hat in the 2016 election, somebodys Facebook entry will come back to bite them,“ Steve Jones, head of the communications department at the University of Illinois, says, referring to , a networking site for college students and alumni that is something of a cross between a yearbook and a blog. More t
8、raditional blog sites which allow easy creation of a Web site with text, photos and often music include LiveJournal and MySpace. And they ve gotten more popular in recent years, especially among the younger set Surveys completed in recent months by the Internet & American Life Project found that nea
9、rly a fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other peoples blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other peoples online journals. Amanda Lenhart, a researcher who tracks young peoples Inter
10、net habits, says shes increasingly hearing stories about the risks of posting the equivalent of a diary online. Other times, the ease of posting unedited thoughts on the Web can be uglier, in part because of the speed with which the postings spread and multiply. Thats what happened at a middle schoo
11、l in Michigan last fall, the principals started receiving complaints from parents about some students blog postings. School officials couldnt do much about it. But then the students found out they were being monitored, a few posted threatening comments aimed at an assistant principal and that led to
12、 some student suspensions. “It was just a spiraling (螺旋) of downward emotions,“ says the schools principal. She spoke on the condition that she and her school not be identified, out of fear that being named would cause another Web frenzy. “Kids just feed into to that and then more kids see it and so
13、 on,“ she says. “Its a negative power but its still a power.“ Lenhart, the researcher, likens blogs to the introduction of the telephone and the effect it had on teens ability to communicate in the last century. She agrees that the Web has “increased the scope“ of young peoples communication even mo
14、re. “But at the root of it, were talking about behaviors middle-schoolers have engaged in through the millennia,“ Lenhart says. “The march of technology forward is hard, and it has consequences that we dont always see.“ She says parents would be wise to familiarize themselves with online blogging si
15、tes and to pose questions to their children such as, “What is appropriate?“ and “What is fair?“ to post. Its also important to discuss the dangers of giving out personal information online. One survey released this spring found that 79% of teens agreed that people their age arent careful enough when
16、 giving out information about themselves online. And increasingly, Lenhart says, this applies to blogs. Caitlin, a 15-year-old in Neptune, N.J., says she knows people who go as far as posting their cell phone numbers on their blogs something she doesn t do. She also often shows her postings to her m
17、om, which has helped her mom give her some space and privacy online. “Thats not to say if I thought something dangerous was going on, I wouldnt ever spy on her,“ says her mother, Melissa. “But she has given me no need to do so.“ Many college students say they re learning to take precautions on their
18、 own. John Malloy, a 19-year-old student at Centre College in Danville, Ky., has put a “friends lock“ on his LiveJournal site so only people with a password he supplies can view it. “A lot of times, my blog is among the first places I turn when I am angry or frustrated, and I am often quite unfair i
19、n my assessment of my situation in these posts,“ Malloy says. “Do I wish I hadnt posted? Of course. But I havent actually gone as far to take posts down.“ Instead he makes them “private“ so only he can read them. “I like to keep them to look back on,“ he says. Meanwhile, Joseph Milliron, a 23-year-o
20、ld college student in California, says hes become more cautious about posting photos online because people sometimes “borrow“ them for their own sites. It s just one trend thats made Milliron rethink what he includes in his blog. Martin, the 23-year-old blogger in suburban Chicago, agrees that blogs
21、 can “provide just one more avenue for a person to embarrass him or herself, says Martin, wholl be heading to graduate school in Virginia this fall. Still, he thinks blogging is worth it to stay in touch with friends and to air his more creative work, including essays. “I suppose in that way,“ he sa

44、nderstand and analyze CVs just as a human would be launched in Europe by recruitment software innovator People Genie. The patented technology has been developed to create Smart Genie, which will be fully integrated within the People Genie family of plug-in facilities. Smart Genie can analyze a job s
45、pecification and by using predictive modeling it can rank CVs in order of their suitability based on over 40 analytical techniques. Additional features also include the ability to match any number of CVs with an ideal job role. Marc Hendrickse, Managing Director of People Genie said: “Smart Genie is
46、 a real breakthrough for the recruitment industry.“ There are some basic programs to read CVs, but by only searching against key words they can easily overlook the best candidates.
