Your card information could even be for sale on an illegal web site. Web sites offering cheap services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.

Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending. And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the web site offers advanced secure system. If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The web site address may also start https:/- the extra “s” stands for secure.

It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away . The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make a decisiona matter of life or death .Animals ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning” , which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species animals of the same kindas a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning .In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive .40The animals life will come to an end_. Aif the animal makes a wrong decision Bif the animal plays a dangerous game Cwhen the animal attacks its enemy Dwhen the animal runs too slowly 41Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because_. Aeach generation has its own way of learning Btheir environments change all the time Cthey can act reasonably on their own Dit takes their whole life to learn 42When the environment doesnt change much ,_.Aanimals cannot act in a right way Bgenetic learning is less important for animals Cindividual learning plays a less important role Danimals cannot get over problems on their on their own 43Animals living on generation after generation depends on_.Atheir natural action pattern with their own experience Bthe lessons they have learnt during their lifetime Ctheir experience in particular environments Dthe knowledge passed on by their parents CReading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力) .With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence(自信心),according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City .The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ). The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the childrens department. Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class. The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.44. What is mainly discussed in the text?A.
