Benjamin Stassen took his own life in 2010. His parents thought their twenty-one year old son was happy. Since his suicide, they have attempted to learn why he killed himself.
Alice and Jay Stassen thought Benjamin’s Facebook account might hold clues to his suicide. But the account does not belong to them, nor did it belong to their son. Facebook owns everything in his account. That is what the company says in its user agreement.
Jay Stassen says he found it difficult even to communicate with Facebook.
A court ordered the company to let the Stassens see their son’s account. However , Facebook has yet to obey the order.
Lawyer John Boucher stays informed about digital rights and the law. But he admits that he and his wife have signed many user agreements without reading them. He says he would not know how to get information from his wife’s accounts if she dies.
JOHN BOUCHER: “I have no clue. So there is a dual problem here. One is people don’t think about it. And two, even if they did, they might find they are legally barred from doing it. I personally think what’s going to happen over time is there are going to be model laws drafted to deal with all these circumstances. But they’re going to take years to be accepted by the states, you know. There’s going to be a gray area for the foreseeable future.”
Some businesses now are offering people a way to control what happens to their online information after they die. One way to do this is to place your online accounts and passwords in a digital storage area. You give the owners of the area orders about which information to destroy and which to give others when you die.
Mark Plattner recently used a program called Sitesucker to download his friend’s blog. He then uploaded a copy of the blog to a new web site under his control. Mark Plattner says we should all plan our own digital legacy. He says “don’t be passive - get to work on your online after life now.”

【文章大意】
本文主要讲述人死后其生前的网络账户和密码该如何处理的问题,其是否应该向死者的家属透露的问题,以John夫妇的具体遭遇为切入点,表达人们了对于这个问题的关注程度,也展望了未来,人们期待法律得到修改,以便使此类网络隐私问题可以在适当的时候得到人性化的解决。同时也提供了合理化的应对办法。
67.D 猜测段落写作意图 文章讲述人去世后,其生前在网上注册的账户,密码等个人信息在某些情形下能否请求相关网站告知当事人家属的问题。文章以“Benjamin”自杀后,其父母请求Facebook网站提供儿子账号以求解开儿子自杀之谜而遭拒的具体事例作为开头,目的明显在于唤起读者对此话题的兴趣。
68.A 判断信息正误(细节题)文章第一段第六句“Facebook owns everything in his account ”银行拒绝透露Benjamin生前的账户信息,Jay 夫妇将Facebook 考上法庭,第二段讲到“Facebook has yet to obey the order.”可知,Facebook 尚未遵守法庭的判决。
69.A 猜测人物态度 第三段第4,5,6句提到John认为在将来即使有关网络隐私的法律得到修改,国家也很难接受它,他觉得可以预见的未来是一片灰色。“I personally think what’s going to happen over time is there are going to be model laws drafted to deal with all these circumstances. But they’re going to take years to be accepted by the states, you know. There’s going to be a gray area for the foreseeable future.” 由此看出John认为前途很渺茫,所以他是 pessimistic (悲观的)
70.C 理解文章相关内容,并运用于实际,第四段第2句 “One way to do this is to place your online accounts and passwords in a digital storage area.” 及第五段第1,2,3句 “Mark Plattner recently used a program called Sitesucker to download his friend’s blog. He then uploaded a copy of the blog to a new web site under his control. Mark Plattner says we should all plan our own digital legacy.”可以看出,针对John 的案例,作者向读者提的建议是:人们可以将自己的网络账号复印并保存下来,以备不时之需。
