Google Profile
The act of Googling oneself has become the digital age’s leading guilty pleasure—an activity enjoyed by all and admitted by few. The phenomenon has even been the subject of scholarly research. Last year, a study concluded that the practice of self-Googling can partly be traced to a rise in narcissism (自恋) in society, but that it is also an attempt by people to identify and shape their personal online "brand".
The reason people search for themselves is that they’re curious about what other people see when they search for their name. One problem is they don’t have any control over the search results and they will never appear on the first page of the search results. If your name is Brian Jones and you’re not the former Rolling Stones guitarist, you don’t exist.
To give people a bit more control over search results, Google introduced a feature this week called a "Google profile", which users can create so that a little personal information appears at the bottom of US name search pages. Once users create a Google profile, their name, occupation, location and photo if they choose appears in a box on the first page of the search results for their name. Besides, there’s a link to a full Google profile page that in many ways resembles a Facebook page.
The similarity to Facebook is no accident. By giving users a little control over the results that appear on a search for their name, Google hopes to establish a social network base and take on wildly popular sites like Facebook and MySpace. Facebook users who otherwise couldn’t be bothered to set up a separate profile page on Google might find the idea appealing if it gives them some control over the Google search resuits for their name.
The more information you add to your profile, the higher your page is likely to be ranked on a Google search for your name and associated keywords, such as the name of your hometown, your job title or where you work or go to school. And the more richly detailed your Google profile is, the more Google knows about you. There’s no advertisement attached to Google profiles, but in the future, the company could easily sell ads targeted to your personal details, much as they’ve already done on Gmail.
What is the possible meaning of "guilty pleasure" (Line 2,Para. 1)?
选项
A、Illegal activities.
B、Shameful activities.
C、Disgusting activities.
D、Secret activities.
答案
D
解析
语义理解题。由题干中的guilty pleasure定位到第一段第一句。本句中破折号后的内容是对guilty pleasure的解释说明,意思是所有人都喜欢做但是却很少有人愿意承认的事情。结合前文可知,上网搜索自己的信息也属于这种行为,可以确定意思与D“秘密的行为”最为接近。A“违法行为”、B“可耻的行为”、C“令人厌恶的行为”,均不符合文章的意思,故排除。
