Google, which dominates much of life on the Internet, has been trying to expand beyond computers and telephones to living rooms, cars and bodies. It made its way a bit further into people’ s homes on Monday when it agreed to pay $3.2 billion in cash for Nest Labs, which makes Internet-connected devices like thermostats and smoke alarms.
Nest, which was started in 2010 by Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, members of the teams that built the iPhone and iPod at Apple, will continue to operate independently under its own brand and expand its portfolio of connected versions of what it calls "unloved but important devices in the home." Mr. Fadell, Nest’s chief executive, will report to Larry Page, co-founder and chief executive of Google.
Internet companies are competing for the gateway through which people live every aspect of their lives—whether searching, socializing, reading, shopping, exercising or sleeping. Their businesses, particularly advertising, are built on watching the way people behave online. For Google, gaining visibility into people’s habits beyond computers and phones—whether watching television using Chromecast, taking a walk wearing Google Glass or managing their homes using Nest products— will provide a fuller picture of users.
"Google likes to know everything they can about us, so I suppose devices that are monitoring what’s going on in our homes is another excellent way for them to gather that information," said Danny Sullivan, a longtime Google analyst and a founding editor of Search Engine Land. "The more they’re tied into our everyday life, the more they feel they can deliver products we’ 11 like and ads."
Mr. Fadell said in an interview that he was aware of concerns among customers about Google having so much data about people, and that Google agreed that Nest’ s privacy policy—which says that Nest will use customer information only to improve its products and services—would remain unchanged. "That was a major concern or question we had, and they have done an amazing job of convincing us that our privacy policies are going to be well-respected in their organization," he said.
Still, Mr. Sullivan said, "History has shown that privacy policies do change." He added, "They won’t hand over Nest data to Google, and Google mines it for whatever they want, but there could be incentives or reasons why it might make sense to tie it to a Google account."
According to Paragraph 4, Danny Sullivan worries that______.
选项
A、Google may deliver more products we dislike
B、Google will make profits by selling people’ s privacy information
C、people’ s privacy is exposed to Google’ s monitoring
D、people’ s privacy information has been disclosed
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第四段。由文中I suppose devices that are monitoringwhat’s going on in our homes is another excellent way for them to gather that information(我认为,这些能够对我们家里的情况进行监测的设备,是他们搜集信息的另一种好办法)可知,Danny Sullivan担心个人隐私被泄露,故C项“人们的隐私暴露于谷歌的监控之下”为正确答案。A项与本段末句中的deliver products we’ll like矛盾。B项“谷歌通过售卖人们的隐私信息获利”在文中没有体现。D项“人们的隐私信息已经被泄露”属于过度推断,故排除。
