14

managers cannot predict the future ,many of their decisions require

possible future managers must make a best guess at what the

future will be and try to leave as little as possible to

,but since uncertainty is always

there ,risk accompanies decisions .Sometimes the consequences of a poor decision are

;at other times they are serious.

People often assume that a decision is an isolated phenomenon.

ennis is a yearlong sport for me,and I never get a break .Idon`t mind this , and look

forward to practices,which are three

hours

,three times a week . The only

thing

I

to my teachers

to find

out if out if there is any work

I

could do to bring the grade up. I appreciate this because it seems as though I get enough

criticism from myself.

One of my greatest struggles is trying to find time to spend with my family and friends.

I

hate that something has to be sacrificed. For me, that

thing is my

times my

friends get angry with me , which annoys me because

I really want to hang out with them

but can`t because of my time constraints. I wish they knew that I miss them. I also long for

the nights when I used to relax with my family . Now I come home from meets and practices

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Smart phones do many things these days:make and receive calls ,send e-mails,take

photos and one thing they can do that phone companies don`t advertise is keep

a secret watch on you . As long as you don`t leave home without your phone, that handy

gadget keeps a record of everywhere you go ----a record the government can then get from

your telephone company

.

When you carry a cell phone,it is constantly sending signals about where you are. It

signals

the

nearby

cell-phone

towers

about

every

seven

seconds

so

it

can

be

ready

to

make and receive it does,the phone is also telling the company that owns the

towers where you are at that moment ----data the company then stores away

.There is also

a second kind of locational data that phone companies have,thanks to a unit in most smart

phones now for locating positions. This is even more accurate

----unlike the towers ,which

can only tell a general area where you may be ,this unit can often reveal exactly where you

are at any given moment within a matter of meters.

The American government`s position is that it should be able to get most of this data if

it

decides

it

is

relevant

to

an

investigation,with

no

need

for

a

search

permit.

If

the

government

needs

a

permit,

it

would

have

to

show

a

judge

evidence

that

there

was

probable

cause

to

believe

that

the

cell-phone

user

committed

a

t

this

requirement, the government can get locational data pretty much anytime it wants.

The law is unclear about how easy it should be for the government to get its hands on

this

locational

data.

A

federal

court

pronounced

last

week

that

in

some

cases

the

government may need a search permit . That`s a step forward ,but it`s not good enough.

Some hearings on this issue are being held . It is time for Congress to act . It should make

clear that information from cell phones is deeply private,and that without a search permit ,

the government cannot have it.
