    The act of Googling oneself has become the digital age’s leading guilty pleasure—an activity enjoyed by all and admitted by few. The phenomenon has even been the subject of scholarly research. Last year, a study concluded that the practice of self-Googling can partly be traced to a rise in narcissism (自恋) in society, but that it is also an attempt by people to identify and shape their personal online "brand".
    The reason people search for themselves is that they’re curious about what other people see when they search for their name. One problem is they don’t have any control over the search results and they will never appear on the first page of the search results. If your name is Brian Jones and you’re not the former Rolling Stones guitarist, you don’t exist.
    To give people a bit more control over search results, Google introduced a feature this week called a "Google profile", which users can create so that a little personal information appears at the bottom of US name search pages. Once users create a Google profile, their name, occupation, location and photo if they choose appears in a box on the first page of the search results for their name. Besides, there’s a link to a full Google profile page that in many ways resembles a Facebook page.
    The similarity to Facebook is no accident. By giving users a little control over the results that appear on a search for their name, Google hopes to establish a social network base and take on wildly popular sites like Facebook and MySpace. Facebook users who otherwise couldn’t be bothered to set up a separate profile page on Google might find the idea appealing if it gives them some control over the Google search resuits for their name.
    The more information you add to your profile, the higher your page is likely to be ranked on a Google search for your name and associated keywords, such as the name of your hometown, your job title or where you work or go to school. And the more richly detailed your Google profile is, the more Google knows about you. There’s no advertisement attached to Google profiles, but in the future, the company could easily sell ads targeted to your personal details, much as they’ve already done on Gmail.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?
选项 A、More information makes less appearance on a Google search.
B、Google will keep users’ personal information safe.
C、In the future users will receive advertisements from Google.
D、Gmail is a good mail service without any ads.
答案D
解析 推理判断题。由题干定位到最后一段可知，谷歌公司现在的个人信息系统中没有安插广告，但是未来一定也会像Gmail那样向用户派发广告。故C“在未来，用户会收到谷歌发来的邮件”为答案。A“信息越多，出现在搜索引擎中的次数越少，”根据本段第一句可知，输入的个人信息越多，出现在谷歌搜索引擎当中的可能性就越大，不符合文意，故排除；B“谷歌公司会保证用户个人信息的安全”，文章当中并未提到，故排除；D“Gmail是不曾派发广告的很好的邮件服务系统”，与最后一句意思不符，故排除。
