问题     It’s a fact of life in the 21st-century workplace: The boss may well be watching his employees, especially if they use a computer. Bosses are using two types of spying software: network-based programs that monitor all traffic passing through a system, and programs that sit directly on an em ployee’s desktop.
   Vericept Protect is an example of the first type. The software searches all correspondence for any indication that employees are accidentally or maliciously communicating sensitive data, and blocks it. Vericept also claims it can examine the tone of an e-mail to detect job dissatisfaction. Someone who sends a message saying "I hate my job." or "You’re not going to believe what my idiot boss did today." could be poised to upload company files in anticipation of leaving the job.
    Vericept makes products to monitor other Web activities as well. Paul Pilotte, a senior product manager at the company, says it helped one client fend off a harassment suit filed by a senior employee who claimed someone had left printouts from an adult website in her office. The company planned to give her a large severance package (解雇费) until it used a Vericept tool to examine her Web use. That search found that the employee had printed the pages herself. On another occasion, Vericept helped catch a worker who had installed a keylogger on a manager’s computer to extract the boss’s passwords.
    One product that monitors an individual desktop is NetVizor. It can record everything a person types, from bank passwords to the names of illnesses searched on WebMD. It also logs and monitors e-mails sent and received, instant message chats, and the names of documents opened or printed. It can even capture a snapshot of a computer screen, providing an employer with a replica of what the employee is seeing on his or her monitor.
    Kelly Todd, information-services security analyst for Securities America Financial Corporation, an independent broker dealer with several hundred employees, won’t say what kind of software his company uses. But he does say as soon as "somebody types an e-mail and hits Send, before it even gets to the central e-mail server, it goes through a system that archives the e-mail". [br] In a harassment suit filed by a senior employee, who had left printouts from an adult website in her office?
选项
答案 The senior employee herself．
解析 题目问的是在由一位高级雇员提起的骚扰诉讼案中谁将成人网站上的打印输出放在了她的办公室里。尽管很容易根据题干定位到第三段第二句，但要找到题目的答案还需继续读懂第三句和第四句。原文说的是，监控软件公司Vericept的高级产品经理Paul Pilotte曾帮助一个公司客户成功应对了一桩骚扰诉讼案，在该案件中，该公司的一位高级雇员声称有人将成人网站卜的打印输出放在了她的办公室里，本来公司已经打算给她很大一笔解雇费作为赔偿，就在此时公司使用了Vericept监控软件调查了该员工的上网纪录，调查结果发现，是该员工本人打印了那些成人网页，由此可知答案应为The senior employee herself。
