Questions 01 to 05 are based on the text that follows.
Over the past 5 years, social-networking sites have evolved from a preoccupation of high-school and college students to a mainstream form of social interaction that spans divisions of age, profession, and socioeconomic status. At the hospital where I'm in training, medical students, nurses, residents, fellows, attending physicians, and service chiefs can all be found linked to one another as active members of social-networking sites. The technology facilitates communication, with personal Web pages that permit users to post information about events in their lives, advertise social activities, and share photographs. Users are prompted1 by Facebook to carve2 out a digital identity by disclosing their political affiliations, sexual orientation, and relationship status.
Physicians, medical centers, and medical schools are trying to keep pace with the potential effects of (such) networking on clinical practice. In an e-mail to students and faculty of Harvard Medical School, Dean for Medical Education Jules Dienstag wrote: Caution is recommended in using social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace. "Items that represent unprofessional behavior that are posted by you on such networking sites reflect poorly on you and the medical profession. Such items may become public and could subject you to unintended exposure and consequences." At the Drexel University College of Medicine, medical students are warned about the possibility that information placed on social-networking sites might influence the fate of their applications for postgraduate training. Although legal questions surrounding the relationship between clinical medicine and social networking are as yet undefined, there are obvious concerns for individuals and institutions, since their Internet presence makes clinicians' attitudes and activities increasingly visible.

Getting things into a better order is the great secret of progress, and we are now able to fly through the air, not because the laws of Nature have altered, but because we have learnt to arrange things in the right order to produce this result - the things themselves had existed from the beginning of the world, but what was wanting was the introduction of a Personal Factor which, by an intelligent perception of the possibilities contained in the laws of Nature, should be able to bring into working reality ideas which previous generations would have laughed at as the absurd fancies of an unbalanced mind.

And Your Previous Jobs?
It may be tough for Alejandro Martinez to clear himself of charges that he robbed a Las Vegas pizza parlor after allegedly leaving behind a crucial piece of evidence. According to prosecutors, the 23-year-old Martinez entered the parlor, ordered a pie and requested a job application. "The cashier immediately gave him an application and a pen, so he started filling it out," said Clark County prosecutor Frank Coumou. "Then, when he thought the moment was right, he lifted his shirt, exposed the butt of a firearm, and told her to give him all of the money."
After stuffing over $200 in his pocket, Martinez hustled out to a waiting car, authorities say. But a witness followed the gunman and jotted down the license plate. An easy trace of that number led police to Martinez, whom they found sitting at home.
None of that has made it easy for the public defender who has taken on the case. But the evidence left behind could make his job nearly impossible. When police returned to the pizza parlor after the arrest, they found Martinez's job application still on the counter. He had dutifully written down on it his real name and address. "I'd chalk it up to either inexperience or plain stupidity," said prosecutor Coumou. Martinez has pleaded not guilty and his case is now pending in district court.
