4 . For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smart phones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Center, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 13 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.

Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong,” Julian says.

Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.

Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety net is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sits for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, unless their parents agree.

This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said. When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give user location.

COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. That’s why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online. “There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful.” he adds.

A．formal websites are always safe	B．the Internet is becoming safer and safer

8 . Robots’ Intelligence

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be _________, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell if we figure out how to turn human _________ into a programmable code.

Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language. _________ , if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the _________ children. “You would want that robot _________ with a good set of values,” said Russell.

Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a _________ distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a _________ brought-up person would do.

It will be possible to _________   more complicated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules. Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are _______.

The biggest __________ with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will __________ some kind of taboo(禁忌). One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with a(n) __________ situation.

If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for __________ from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.

The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in ________, and how to create a set of ethical(伦理的)rules. But if we __________   an answer, robots could be good for humanity.

9 . TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager's accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.

The company said Tuesday that its “Family Pairing” feature now enables parents to turn off comments on their children's videos entirely or to limit them to friends only. Parents whose accounts are linked to their kids will also be able to set their accounts to private, turn off the search function for content, users or sounds, and limit who can see which videos their children have liked.

Launched (发布) in March, the Family Pairing tool lets parents see how long their children are spending on TikTok each day and limit the content they can see.

TikTok allows children to register and create an account if they're over the age of 13. All they need to do is provide their date of birth. However, because TikTok doesn't require registers to prove their identities, some children under 13 have registered by lying about their age，according to U. K. regulator Ofcom (英国通讯管理局).

Alexandra Evans, head of child safety public policy for TikTok in Europe, told CNBC that Family Pairing has “put itself in parents’ shoes” since it was launched.

“If we're thinking about it as a toolbox, we wanted to offer more tools,” she said on a video call ahead of the announcement.

1. What pushed TikTok to launch the new update?

A．The pressure from social media.	B．The concern about kids' online safety.
C．The force from government.	D．The increasing need of users.

2. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The safety tips from TikTok.	B．New apps explored by TikTok.
C．New functions of Family Pairing.	D．The limits on Family Pairing.

3. What is Ofcom mainly concerned about?

A．The difficulty in opening an account.	B．The low age limit for users.
C．TikTok's failure to check identities.	D．The demand for users' birth dates.

4. What's Evans attitude toward the new Family Pairing?

A．Uninterested.	B．Objective.
C．Disappointed.	D．Supportive.
