Ngày bé gái Nhật Bản hay còn gọi là Lễ hội búp bê được tổ chức vào ngày 3 tháng 3 để cầu nguyện cho sức khỏe và hạnh phúc của các cô gái trẻ ở Nhật Bản. Hinamatsuri, tên của lễ kỷ niệm ở Nhật Bản, được đánh dấu bằng việc các gia đình trưng bày một bộ búp bê hina trong nhà và phục vụ những món ngon đặc biệt đẹp mắt và ngon miệng theo nghi lễ.
Theo truyền thống, cha mẹ hoặc ông bà của một bé gái mới sinh mua một bộ búp bê hina cho em bé, trừ khi họ có những con búp bê đặc biệt được di truyền từ thế hệ này sang thế hệ khác. Từ cuối tháng 2 đến ngày 3 tháng 3, búp bê hina mặc trang phục cổ xưa của Nhật Bản được trưng bày trên các bục xếp tầng được trải thảm đỏ. Những con búp bê mặc trang phục đại diện cho triều đình thời Heian (794 đến 1185 sau Công nguyên) và có hình hoàng đế, hoàng hậu, những người hầu cận và nhạc sĩ mặc trang phục truyền thống.
Những con búp bê được trưng bày theo thứ bậc với hoàng đế và hoàng hậu ở trên cùng, được đặt trước một tấm bình phong mạ vàng tượng trưng cho người bị ném. Số lượng búp bê và kích thước của chúng khác nhau giữa các nhà, nhưng phổ biến là có năm đến bảy bệ.
Theo phong tục, người ta sẽ cất những con búp bê đi ngay sau khi lễ hội kết thúc - có một điều mê tín rằng nếu những con búp bê bị bỏ đi, một gia đình sẽ gặp khó khăn trong việc gả con gái của họ. Sau lễ hội, một số người thả búp bê giấy xuống sông cầu nguyện rằng điều này sẽ xua đuổi bệnh tật và xui xẻo.

Attracting users to social networking sites and cloud computing sites is all about building trust. However, if recent news is anything to go by, consumers would be right to consider that the trust they have put into the Internet companies that run these services has been betrayed.
Between 2006 and the beginning of 2010, search engine giant Google started a project to map and digitally photograph every road in every major city in more than 30 countries for its product Google Street View. But images, it appears, is not all that the Streetview cars collected. It now turns out that Google collected over 600 Gigabytes of data from users of public and unprotected Wi-Fi access routers - which included Web pages visited and emails. All this was collected without the prior knowledge or permission of the router owners.
But most criticism surrounding data privacy is currently reserved for Facebook, which has faced an extreme anger from consumers when millions of users suddenly found their private details exposed and searchable on Google, Bing and Yahoo. Facebook, whose privacy policies have come under attack both at home and abroad, now faces a stiff fine for storing non-users' personal data without their permission. Founder Mark Zuckerberg appears to be relenting and is now beefing up security.
The issue came to the fore in recent months among concern that Facebook's confusing privacy settings were making it possible for Internet stalkers, cyber criminals and even nosy neighbours to gain a wealth of information about its users without their knowledge or permission.
What all these companies deal in is trust. Without trust, we would not allow them access to our private information. Therefore, it's important that they maintain our trust. If social networking becomes increasingly important to companies such as Google, Apple and Microsoft, they will have to be careful not to violate their users' trust in the future.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43
Japanese Girls' Day-also known as the Doll's Festival-is celebrated on March 3 to pray for the health and happiness of young girls in Japan. Hinamatsuri, the name of the celebration in Japan, is marked by families displaying a set of hina dolls in the house and serving special delicacies that are ceremonially beautiful and delicious.
Traditionally, parents or grandparents of a newborn girl buy a set of hina dolls for the baby, unless they have special dolls that are inherited from generation to generation. From the end of February to March 3, hina dolls dressed in Japanese ancient costumes are displayed on tiered platforms that are covered with a red carpet. The costumed dolls represent the imperial court of the Heian period (A.D. 794 to 1185] and feature the emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians dressed in traditional garb.
The dolls are displayed hierarchically with the emperor and empress at the top, which are set in front of a gilded screen representing the thrown. The number of dolls and their size vary from home to home, but five to seven platforms are common.
It is customary to put the dolls away as soon as the festival is over-there is a superstition that if the dolls are left out, a family will have trouble marrying off their daughters. After the festival, some people release paper dolls into the rivers praying that this will send away sickness and bad fortune.
