    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 make one’s information on the first page of the search results?
选项 A、One should key in one’s own name and wait.
B、One should be patient and curious about the search results.
C、One should be very famous in the country or in the world.
D、One should be able to control the search results.
答案C
解析 推理判断题。由题干中的on the first page of the search results定位到第二段第二、三句可知，人们都无法控制网络搜索的结果，而且也很难迅速地搜索到自己的信息，即使与滚石乐队的吉他手同名，也没有用。由此可以推断出，滚石乐队的吉他手是流行明星，可以在网上搜索到他的个人信息。故C“必须要全国或全世界闻名”与之意思相符。A“必须输入自己的姓名然后等待”，文中并未提及，故排除；B“要有耐心，并且对搜索结果很好奇”，这并不能使自已的信息被快速检索到，故排除；D“应该有能力控制搜索的结果”，与本段第二句意思相反，故排除。
