[00:00.98]Directions: In this section,

[00:03.46]you will hear a passage three times.

[00:05.91]When the passage is read for the first time,

[00:09.49]you should listen carefully for its general idea.

[00:13.23]When the passage is read for the second time,

[00:16.77]you are required to fill in the blanks

[00:20.39]with the exact words you have just heard.

[00:23.52]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,

[00:28.11]you should check what you have written.

[00:32.97]Now listen to the passage.

[00:35.90]There was a time when any personal information

[00:39.24]that was gathered about us was typed on a piece of paper

[00:42.87]and locked away in a file cabinet.

[00:45.25]It could remain there for years and,

[00:47.88]often forgotten, never reach the outside world.

[00:51.26]Things have done a complete about-face since then.

[00:55.02]Responsible for the change has been the astonishingly

[00:58.66]swift development in recent years of the computer.

[01:01.46]Today, any data that is collected about us in one place oranotherand

[01:06.40]for one reason or anothercan be stored in a computer bank.

[01:11.87]It can then be easily passed to other computer banks.

[01:15.10]They are owned by individuals and by private businesses andcorporations,

[01:18.30]lending institutions, direct mailing and telemarketing firms,

[01:24.08]credit bureaus, credit card companies,

[01:26.97]and government agencies at the local, state, and federal level.

[01:31.79]A growing number of Americans are seeing

[01:34.76]the accumulation and distribution of computerized

[01:37.65]data as a frightening invasion of their privacy.

[01:40.04]Surveys show that the number of worried Americans has beensteadily

[01:46.39]growing over the years as the computer becomes increasinglyefficient,

[01:50.48]easier to operate, and less costly to purchase and maintain.

[01:54.69]In 1970, a national survey showed that

[01:57.98]37 percent of the people questioned felt their privacy was beinginvaded.

[02:04.08]Seven years later, 47 percent expressed the same worry.

[02:10.17]A recent survey by a credit bureau revealed that the number

[02:15.46]of alarmed citizens had soared up to 76 percent.

[02:18.53]Now the passage will be read again.
