(3) 阅读理解 Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless gadget may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected security camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that theyre being recorded while you all watch the big game together? “Its certainly new territory, especially as home security cameras become easier to install,” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, Americas foremost manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what etiquette (礼仪) emerges in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if its not a security issue.” Post wants to make clear that shes not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preferenc. She also wants to explain that there are no right or wrong answers regarding manners on this front yet, because the technology is just now becoming mainstream. Besides, the Emily Post Institute doesnt dictate manners. When it comes to security cameras, Post says its a hosts responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. “Im always a fan of being open and honest.” For instance, if the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about it, that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable. However, if a contractor is working in your home, you dont need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the air of accountability that the camera generates can also work in contractors favor. “If anything does go wrong while theyre in the house, they dont want to be blamed for it,” she says. “In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didnt steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.”96、For what reason may your friends feel reluctant to visit your home?
A) The security camera installed may intrude into their privacy.
B) They don’t want their photos to be circulated on the Internet.
C) The security camera may turn out to be harmful to their health.
D) They may not be willing to interact with your family members.
