Translate the underlined parts into Chinese: The Internet is good at shame. 1) There are countless websites where people can post nasty complaints about ex-lovers and rude customers or, worse, push fragile teens over the edge, as in the recent case of a Missouri girl driven to suicide by online bullying. Now a new site aimed at college students is raising questions about the legality of online rumor mills. 2) Juicy Campus. corn is a rapidly growing gossip site that solicits content with the promise of anonymity. But what began as fun and games--and now has sub-companies on seven college campuses, including Duke University, where it began -- has turned ugly and, in many cases, to be flatly smearing others. The posts have devolved from innocuous tales of secret crushes to racist tirades and lurid finger-pointing about drug use and sex, often with the alleged culprit identified by first and last name. In one post, a nameless Loyola Marymount University student asks why so many African-Americans and Latinos are enrolled at the school: "I thought the high tuition was supposed to keep the undesirables OUT" 3) It’s gotten to the point, says Dan Belzer, a Duke senior who has written about the site for his school’s newspaper, where "anyone with a grudge can maliciously attack defenseless students." 4) And get away with it, too. Juicy Campus- whose Duke-graduate founder, Matt Ivestor, declined to comment for this story--isn’t sponsored by the schools it covers, so administrators can’t regulate it. Neither does the law. Such sites are protected by a federal law that immunizes Web hosts from liability for the musings of their users--as long as the hosts themselves don’t modify content. (And firmly establishing the identity of an individual poster would be next to impossible.) The rationale is to protect big companies like AOL from the actions of each and every user. But as a consequence, it means victims of a damaged rep have little legal recourse. "Courts tend to have antiquated understandings of privacy," says Daniel Solove, an expert in cyberlaw and the author of The Future of Reputation. "Until that changes we’re going to see this keep happening." 5) At present, there’s only one sure way to rein in a site like Juicy Campus: persuade everyone to stop using it. But you don’t need a college degree to figure out that won’t happen. 1.There are countless websites where people can post nasty complaints about ex-lovers and rude customers or, worse, push fragile teens over the edge, as in the recent case of a Missouri girl driven to suicide by online bullying.

Passage TwoCultural knowledge consists of the rules, categories, assumptions, definitions, and judgments that people use to classify and interpret the world around them. 71 To the members of that society, these cultural rules don’t seem arbitrary at all, but logical, normal, right, and proper. 72 Each cultural system is different in this respect, with a logic and a consistency of its own. People in any given culture derive a large part of their personality and sense of group identity from these patterns, which have developed over a long period of time. And this cultural pattern is learned, not innate. At birth, we are not Mexican, or Egyptian, or Japanese. 73 We develop a particular cultural style, an inability, in Georges Braque’s phrase, to do otherwise. The cultural style that we absorb is therefore a kind of framework within which we develop a highly personal style. Although we remain individuals, we operate within a context which also marks us as Japanese, Mexican, or Egyptian. As Japanese, Mexicans, or Egyptians, culture equips us with not only a special way of looking at life and the world, but with a problem-solving mechanism for finding our way through that world. It does so by providing us with categories for organizing our perception, and with a set of values for arranging these categories into basic groups: good and bad, better and worse, true and false, ugly and beautiful, and so on. 74 You can easily see how useful culture is. The patterns developed within a social group over generations of interaction enable its members to generate meaning and structure very quickly from the plethora of daily events and occurrences. 75 74().

A. We learn to become these things, to perceive, value, and behave in certain ways, and not in others.
B. The knowledge of culture is basically a pattern of values, beliefs and expectations which underlie and shape the behavior of groups and individuals.
C. Although these are essentially arbitrary, they are shared among people, and form the basis for their life together.
D. Culture helps us achieve a level of security and predictability, to create and maintain order in large segments of our lives, thus freeing us to be more creative in other areas.
E. A foreign culture is therefore very much like a secret code.
F. Through the lens of our culture, we selectively perceive; we organize what we select; and we make judgments about these things.
