问题     As details of American snooping (窥探) spread, sales of 1984, George Orwell’s fable of an ever-watching state, rocketed. So did traffic to websites run by Tactical Technology Collective, a【C1】________that teaches journalists and activists how to evade online spies. "It can be hard to persuade people accept surveillance (监视)【C2】________to them," admits Stephanie Hankey, a co-founder. Apparently not any more.
    Opponents have always trying to take【C3】________to cover compromising communications. But computers now mark suspicious patterns in daily activities too. People need greater alertness and face three challenges to keep secrets.
    The first is stopping the nosy (爱管闲事的) sniffing communications in transit. Unencrypted (未加密的) e-mails are as【C4】________as postcards, warns Ben Wagner, an
    Internet specialist at the European University Institute. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), scrambling (打乱) software that works with several web clients, can prevent such snooping.
    Another task is to stop spies sucking data from wherever it is【C5】________That means withdrawing from services, such as social networks and search engines, that must pass data to governments—or【C6】________out alternatives in untouchable territories. A battered desktop with free software makes a secure e-mail server.

    But staying under the radar is boring and hard to keep up. Clueless contacts can blow your cover. Even technophiles (技术爱好者) may compromise themselves by【C9】________means.
    Ms Hankey would prefer laws, not just technology, to preserve people’s【C10】________ She wants governments in Europe and elsewhere to boost alternatives to America’s "digital monopolies".
