One day, when I test my www.mywebsite.com, and try to do something for index.html tutorial, for example,  
I delete or rename  any file about index such index.html and index.php and  then go to web my webiste page
under no index.html or index.php condition.
I fould my site home page without any index file so IE  will display my whole directory information  as follows
with "Index of /" heading. So I suspect, other people is easy to read my directory information and read
anything in my directory

So my question is 2
Question-1,  where is the directory infromation stored in Linux server directory and Could I chmod by 700 so that
others could not read dir information when no any index file is existed in my public_html directory ?
Question-2 where is the directory infromation stored in Linux server directy and Could I chmod by 700 so that
others could not read dir information when index file is already existed in my public_html directory ?

Please advise

The dir listing is shown because your webserver is configured to provide it. How? Because the webserver executes the "ls" command and then returns the output as an HTML page, nicely formatted by (again) the webserver to have a heading of "INDEX OF /". EVERYTHING is made by the webserver, everything can only be changed by reconfiguring the webserver.

Whether you can be compromised or not depends on 100s of things, directory listing is one of them, probably not the most important one. If you want to change what your webserver does, change its configuration. Forget about chmod, it will NOT solve the problem. But (yet again and again), if the webserver has an index page to send, it won't send the directory listing... check it in your webserver specific documentation, it will say exactly this same words, I won't be repeating them again.
