[00:01.19]易考范文十一

[00:05.15]In the ridiculous cartoon,

[00:08.73]a man is peering into a telescope with great interest,

[00:12.84]a half-naked woman emerging in his mind.

[00:16.12]Behind him a long queue of men are waiting for their turn in eager anticipation 1.

[00:22.03]A couple of words—certain social surveys—can be seen on the telescope.

[00:27.67]The cartoon aims to highlight a social aspect

[00:31.60]that a bundle of surveys pay excessive attention to personal privacy.

[00:36.34]Who is to blame for the phenomenon?

[00:39.06]In my opinion, the media are mainly responsible for it.

[00:43.72] A good social survey is supposed to provide insight into

[00:47.49]some general matters of the society and appeal to people for concern about them.

[00:52.87] However, the media, who conduct most social surveys,

[00:58.55]are more interested in privacy-related issues than in widespread problems.

[01:04.16] Trying to please the public with claptrap and gain fame,

[01:08.59]the media actually mislead the public, and, purposely sometimes,

[01:13.47]infringe on citizens' right of privacy.

[01:16.38]As far as I am concerned,

[01:18.56]the solution lies in the joint 2 effort of the authorities and the media.

[01:23.29]On the one hand, it is essential that

[01:25.99]the authorities formulate 3 laws and regulations to ensure

[01:29.71]that individual information is kept confidential 4.

[01:33.21]On the other hand, the media must strengthen their sense of social responsibility,

[01:38.73]directing the public’s attention to issues of more significance.
