Another secret of animals’ survival is telepathy(心灵感应). This sense becomes atrophied(衰退) in man, but a(n) 1 thought-communication functions in animals. Elsa, the lioness, frequently 2 when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it 3 180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most 4 when we made our irregular visit she was waiting for us. By following the spoor(野兽的足迹),we 5 that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.
The same thing 6 when I took Elsa’s sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo, Elsa’s zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles 7 . He did not know when I was coming back, no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my 8 she sat down at the entrance and wouldn’t make any 9 until I arrived in the evening.
I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing 10 later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
I don’t 11 this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland(腺体) it comes, or how it 12 . But if men could awaken or 13 it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other, 14 fearing and treating one another 15 , the world would be a far better place.

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 their 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 Face book 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 every one 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. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages totally. 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 Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change 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 think that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning. That 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 trust. That's too high a price to pay.
