Cultural Note
「人肉搜索」一詞源自於中國，是一種以網路為媒介，部分以人工方式辨別搜尋引擎提供
資訊的真偽，部分透過匿名知情人士公開資料以搜集資訊或尋找人物、事件真相的群眾運
動。不過，人肉搜索常導致當事人的個人資料被廣泛公布，且往往涉及其家人。因其侵犯
隱私權，故也常與法律相抵觸，甚至被指為「網路暴力」
。但這有時也是民眾自力救濟的現
象，例如臺灣司法制度鮮少主動偵辦虐待動物事件，或對於此種行為的處罰過輕，因此許
多網友利用人肉搜索的力量讓虐待動物的人有所警惕。
POST-READING ACTIVITIES
I. Reading for the Main Idea―Skimming
Skim the reading and choose the best answer to the question.
( ) The reading is mainly about _____.
2
(A) how to protect Internet users’ privacy
(B) how human flesh search engines work
(C) an effective way to find out information on the Internet
(D) the advantages and disadvantages of human flesh search engines
II. Reading Strategy: Facts and Opinions
Writers often use facts and opinions to make their ideas more convincing. Facts are statements that
can be proved true or false, while opinions are statements that express a writer’s beliefs or feelings.
Examples:
1. “In just 18 hours, netizens had collected a lot of information about this man who had cruelly
treated a dog and reported him to Animal Rescue Team Taiwan.”
→ This is a fact because it was an event that happened in real life, and people can easily find out
whether it is true or not.
2. “Sometimes, when netizens are trying to discover the truth about something, some may violate
other Internet users’ privacy.”
→ This is an opinion because this sentence expresses how the writer feels about this type of
search process. Some netizens, however, might not consider their actions a violation of other
people’s privacy, and they may even think that they have the right to do so.
Exercise:
Read the following sentences from the reading. Write “F” in the blank if it is a fact, or “O” if it is
an opinion.
_____

_____

In South Korea, a college student who refused to clean up after her dog on the
subway was recorded on video.
As soon as the video was shared online, this student was identified by many
netizens.
After all, the Internet should bring people together rather than separate them.
Using human flesh search engines, some netizens, especially dog lovers, were
able to track down this man.
Asking mutual friends about this friend was the only thing that most people could
do, and it would often take ages to find a long-lost friend.

1. In the reading, the college student in South Korea dropped out of college in the end. Do you

CONVERSATION 商二忠 (+3)
Knowing that Bob sometimes intentionally damages books in the school library, Molly is warning
him about this bad behavior. (M = Molly, B = Bob)
1M: Hey, Bob. You really should stop drawing pictures in the books you borrow from the school
library. It’s a very bad habit to damage books in that way.13
2B: But I only use a pencil, not a pen. Anyway, no one can find out that I am doing this, can
they?2
3M: Well, I don’t like it, so please stop. Also, I should warn you that nowadays it’s possible to be
17
identified online.10
Identified online? That’s ridiculous, Molly! How can people find out about what I do with
the books I borrow from the library on the Internet?5
5M: Actually, as soon as one person observes you drawing in a library book, he or she can leave a
message on a blog or record what you are doing and upload the video to YouTube. Then, a
lot of people will find out about this, and some of them might even be able to identify you.9
6B: That’s scary! It sounds like they are organizing a witch-hunt to track me down. Well, what
about my freedom and my privacy? They can’t do this to me!19
7M: Your freedom and privacy? Are you kidding? Remember, you are the one who has been
doing bad things, not other people!31
