9、l information.Most Facebook users dont realize this is happening.

10、e rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year.

At the side of the pages totally, who wants to look at ads when theyre online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to chan

13、ge its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines 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

An Israeli startup called Eviation Aircraft hopes to solve the problems. They displayed the worlds first a

19、ll-electric passenger airplane this week at the Paris Air Show.The lightweight planeplayfully called Alicewill be able to fly about 600 miles between charges. So it will focus on transportation between cities. It seats nine passengers and two crew members. A typical flight should cost a customer abo

20、ut $200.“The fact that we re building an electric plane from scratch instead of just refitting an existing plane with a battery means that we can design our aircraft to be more effective and efficient than present planes,” said Eviation co-founder Omer Bar Yohay. He predicts that per seat, per mile,

21、 the cost would be equal to that of a taxi or train.The demand for electrically powered aircraft is projected to reach hundreds of planes per year within the next decade. The change from gas to electric in power is expected to save millions of dollars in fuel costs, not to mention the environmental

22、benefits including significant reduction of air pollution and noise levels.When it comes to the new possibilities, Yosef Abramowitz, an energy industry expert, said, “In modern life, it is important to fight climate change and now we have a path to do so in flying.” Abramowitz, a tireless advocate f

23、or solar power, added, “The batteries will hopefully be charged with solar energy too.”To help further save fuel costs, the designers have also invented a “taxibot” that drags planes from the passenger gate to the runway, so the planes needn t run their engines.After appearing at the Paris Air Show,

24、 the Alice will travel to the U.S. for further tests. It is expected that the first commercial flights will take off in 2022.“I think for the first time in a very, very long time, we can look at flight again and talk about the next revolution,” Bar Yohay said.1.What is the advantage of the new plane

27、aeli Is Advancing in Making the First All-electric Plane4、Our ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet data may hold the key to solving some of the biggest global challenges facing us today. Take, for instance, the frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases as a cons

28、equence of war or natural disasters. The most recent example can be found in a country, where roughly 10，000 new suspected cases of cholera (霍乱）are reported each week and history is filled with similar stories. What if we could better understand the environmental factors that contributed to the dise

29、ase, predict which communities are at higher risk, and put in place protective measures to stop the spread? Answers to this question and others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe. As a big data scientist, I study data from wide-ranging, public sources to identify patterns, hopin

30、g to predict trends that could be a threat to global security. Various data streams are important because the ground truth data (such as surveys) is often delayed, limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent. For example，knowing the incidence(发生率）of mosquito-home disease in communities would help

31、us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue, the leading cause of illness and death in the tropics. However, mosquito data at a global (and even national) level is not accessible. To address this gap, were using other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population

32、information to forecast the risk of dengue. Specifically, we had success in predicting the spread of dengue in Brazil at the regional, state and city level using these data streams as well as clinical observation data and online searches that used terms related to the disease. While our predictions arent perfect, they show promise. Similarly, to forecast the flu season, we have found that online searches can complement(补充)clinical data. Because the rate of pe
