• 6．When I'm in Italy，I generally only eat Italian food.I doubt there's another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more.
     To eat well in Italy，finding the right restaurant is key.I appreciate personality-driven restaurants，run by people keen（热衷的） to share their love of good cooking，and places serving family recipes.Signs of a good restaurant include a low-rent location，lots of locals，and a small，handwritten menu in one language.The menu is small because they're only selling everything they're cooking；it's handwritten because it's shaped by what is fresh today in the market；and it s in one language because they mostly serve locals.
  For a fast and cheap lunch，I look for Italian food in corner delis（熟食店）：either a rosticceria，specializing in roasted meats and antipasti（开胃食物），or a hot table bar —a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables.Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts，cheeses，and other foods for a picnic.
     Italians tend to spend a long time on each course，and dinner is the evening's entertainment.For example，when you have a full-blown Italian dinner in a restaurant，you don't get out until midnight；a three-hour meal is common.Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving.When you want the bill，you'll have to ask for it.To "eat and run" is seen as a lost opportunity.
     A couple of years ago，I sat down at my favorite place in Verona，Enoteca Can Grande，with my friend and guide Franklin.We let the chef，Giuliano，bring us whatever he wanted.Just after the antipasti arrived，Franklin's wife phoned him and said，"Don't eat too much cheese or dessert." Later Franklin，who was not thin，surveyed our table.Sighing，he said，"The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few."
     "That's a pity，" I said.
     I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours.Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience.

• 7．Many of you may have used Siri，a voice assistant of US tech company Apple.You only have to say "hey Siri" and it will answer to your command.However，we may be sacrificing （牺牲） our privacy to enjoy this convenience.
     According to a recent report by The Guardian，Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations，such as discussions between doctors and patients.Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review.
     Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve，but users were not informed of this measure in the first place.
     Apple's Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire.
     In 2018，Alexa，a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon，recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.
     These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing users' rights of privacy.
     Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations，reported Forbes.Using this data，third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users' habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements，or even worse，sell this private data.
     Despite this risk，the popularity of voice assistant seems to be unstoppable.
     In the near future，everything from your lighting to your air conditioner to your refrigerator，your coffee maker，and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice，" commented The Atlantic.
  Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people's daily lives would soon become a source of data.
     "The sounds of our homes，the symphony of life—laughing，crying，talking，shouting，sitting in silence—will no longer be considered memories，but data，" he wrote.
     To deal with the issue，Blake Morgan，a reporter for The Atlantic，believed that the answer is transparency.
     "All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data，" she wrote on The Atlantic.

  A．There are other fire-proof voice assistants.

  （2）What seems to be people's biggest concern about voice assistants？
