    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 can we learn about "Google profile" from Para. 3?
选项 A、It aims at making people have more skills to control the search results.
B、Users can add their personal information to it.
C、The users’ name, job, position and photo can be found in it.
D、Google profile is a substitute for Facebook page.
答案B
解析 事实细节题。由题干中的“Google profile”from Para．3定位到第三段前两句可知，用户可以自己创建信息，而且可以添加自己的职业等个人信息。故B“用户可以在其中添加自己的个人信息”符合文意。A“其目标是要使人们能够控制搜索结果”，与本段第一句意思不符，故排除；C“可以在此系统内找到用户的姓名、工作、位置和照片信息”，本段第二句说明照片不一定能够看到，故排除；D“谷歌个人信息档案要取代Facebook”，文章并未提到谷歌能取代Facebook，与文章意思不符，故排除。
