9、nderstand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “Ive met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe thats from cracking the seeds,” he said.I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I rea

10、lized that whenever Im watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesnt like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese N

11、ew Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Years Eve to check out what every household was making.I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would alre

12、ady be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to

13、crack sunflower seeds back then. I dont think its right to criticize ones choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.Its not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread

14、 and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think its a delicacy(美味佳肴), and its connected to their certain culture. I think its a wonderful tradition.4What did the writer become aware of?AShe had ever typed a report about seeds. BShe had various snacks while watching TV.CSh

15、e damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. DShe had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.5What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?AThe traditions of celebrating it disappear.

BIt is good to form healthy eating habits.CEating habits come from a certain culture. D

17、Changing your eating habits will change your life. C“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those Is and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.Five of the worlds ten most valuable companies are built on a foundation of tying

18、 data to human beings. Google and Facebook want to find out as much as possible about their users interests, activities, friends and family. Amazon has a detailed history of consumer behavior. Tencent and Alibaba are the digital wallets for hundreds of millions of Chinese; both know enough about con

19、sumers to provide widely used credit scores. Those with a good Zhima credit score, provided by Alibaba, enjoy discounts. Those without receive few offers. In other words, data are used to decide what sort of access people have to services.That data are valuable is increasingly well-understood by ind

20、ividuals, too, especially because personal information is so often leaked（泄露）or stolen. The list of companies that have suffered some sort of data leak in 2018 alone reads like a roll call of household names: Facebook, Google, British Airways and so on. Such events have caused a switch in the public

21、 understanding of data collection. People have started to take notice of all the data they are giving away.Yet few people have changed their online behavior or exercised what few digital rights they possess. Partly this is because managing your own data is time-consuming and complex. But it is more

22、because of a misunderstanding of what is at risk. “Data” is an abstract concept. Far more solid is the idea of identity. It is only when “data” is understood to mean “people” that individuals will demand responsibility from those who seek to know them.The fossils of past actions fuel future economic

23、 and social outcomes. Privacy rules and data-protection regulations are extremely important in protecting the rights of individuals. But the first step towards ensuring the fairness of the new information age is to understand that it is not data that are valuable. It is you.8The example of Zhima cre
