III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer. (5 pts)
 WHO IS REALLY ON THE INTERNET?
One of the great things about the Internet, as well as one of its biggest problems, is that
people are basically anonymous on it. In Internet chat rooms and web cafés, people can use a
different name and even create an entirely different identity if they want to.
In some ways, this is a good thing. For many people, it gives them the chance to do things
that they could never do in real life. For example, a person might be very shy in real life, but that
same person may find the courage to make friends on the Internet because it feels safer. In
addition, people in some countries are not free to express their opinions, especially if they don’t
like the government. By using a different identity on the Internet, they can express their opinions
without worrying about getting in trouble.
That same freedom to be ‘another person’ on the Internet, however, causes many problems
as well. The major problem is Internet fraud. Many dishonest people use the Internet to pretend to
be a different person. Then they trick a person into trusting them in some way and take their
money. In one case, two Japanese men lied to Filipinos who wanted to travel to Japan. The two
Japanese men told them that they could help them get visas to Japan for a small price (about $ 400
per person). The two Japanese men took thousands of dollars from hopeful Filipinos, but none of
the people ever got their visas. The number of these kinds of crime is quickly rising. Last year,
Internet criminals stole over $ 350 million from trusting people. When you consider that only $ 57
million was stolen in bank robberies in all of Europe, it is easy to see that Internet crime is a
serious problem.
1. The word ‘anonymous’ in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. nameless B. dishonest C. trusting D. criminal
2. According to paragraph 2, all of the following are true of the Internet EXCEPT _______.
A. it allows people to safely oppose their government
B. it makes it easier for people to express themselves
C. it gets people in trouble
D. it helps shy people make friends
3. The word ‘they’ in bold in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. people B. countries C. opinions D. friends
4. The author mentions two Japanese men in order to _______.
A. suggest that there is a lot of Internet crime in Japan.
B. show that getting a visa is very difficult in Japan.
C. show that you shouldn’t trust anyone on the Internet.
D. give an example of fraud on the Internet.
5. Why does the author mention bank robberies?
A. To show that there is more money in Internet crime than in robbing banks.
B. To suggest that Internet crime is easier than robbing banks.
C. To show that Internet crime is much more common than other types of crime.
D. To show that banks are safer than the Internet.
