Companies have the legal right to monitor employees’ e-mail and instant messaging.Many do, whether they warn their workers or not.Last month the University of Tennessee released the e-mail correspondence between an administrator and a married college president in which the administrator wrote of her love for him, and of her use of drugs and alcohol to deal with her unhappiness.Employers, including The New York Times and Dow Chemical, have fired workers for sending improper e-mail.
But the fastest-growing area for Internet spying is the home.Spector Soft, a leading manufacturer of spyware, at first marketed its products to parents and employers.Sales jumped enormously, however, when the company changed its pitch to target romantic partners."In just one day of running Spector on my home PC, I was able to identify my boyfriend’s true personality," a message on the company’ website declares.
What can you expect if someone puts Spector Soft’s Spector 2.2 on your computer? It will take hundreds of records an hour of every website and e-mail that appears on your screen, and store them so that someone who is spying on you can review them later.A new product, Spector Soft’s e Blaster, will send the spy detailed e-mail reports updating your computer activities frequently. These products keep the people being spied on totally unaware.
Spector Soft has sold 35,000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a flourishing market.WinWhatWhere, another big player, sells primarily to businesses, but what it calls the" discontented family member" market has been finding WinWhatWhere.Many smaller companies have sites that sell relatively crude "key-loggers," software that records every keystroke typed on a computer.
Isn’t all this spying on loved ones a little creepy? Not to Spector Soft president Doug Fowler."If you’re in a committed relationship and you get caught because of evidence online, as far as I’m concerned you deserve to be caught," he says.Richard Eaton, president of WinWhatWhere, recognizes that in a perfect world users would reveal that they have placed monitoring software on a computer.But WinWhatWhere Investigator has a feature that allows it to be completely hidden."Our customers demanded it,"he says.
From the text we learn that most companies in the U.S.______.
选项
A、forbid their employees to get online at work
B、respect the online privacy of their employees
C、reveal the privacy of their employees publicly
D、monitor the online activities of their employees
答案
D
解析
推理题。由文章第一、二句“Companies have the legal right to monitor employees’ e-mail and instant messaging.Many do…”可知,公司 有合法的权利监控雇员的电子邮件和即时消息,而且许多公司这样做了, e-mail和instant messaging属于员工的网上行为,因此应选择[D] 。[B] “禁止 雇员在工作时上网”与作者提到的“monitor”相反。[C] “公开泄露员工的隐 私”迷惑性很强,虽然文章第一段的例子中,田纳西大学泄露了一位行政人 员的隐私,但不可将其推广到美国的大多数公司。[B] “尊重员工在网上的 隐私”与某些公司的做法不符,也不是作者的写作意图。
