Singles are flocking to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other.Using dating sites is quick and convenient.They can “meet” a lot more people online than they could by hanging out at a club.Besides , many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else.They also appreciate the first distance of online dating, which allows them to hide themselves until they are ready to meet someone face to face.Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in.In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be awkward.
Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems.People aren’t always who they claim to be in their online profiles.For instance, someone who tells you he is “handsome, successful and single” might turn out to be homely, unemployed and married.Safety is another concern.You are just as likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr or Miss Right.
Even so, supporters of online dating see things in a positive way.In their opinion, singles can safely play the online dating game with a little common sense.Online dating experts recommend following a few safety tips:
Guard your personal information.Never give out your personal information online.This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work.
Watch for red flags.Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!
Meet in a safe place.When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around.
Following these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams.

Beth Pope learned the hard way. When she put peer-to-peer software on her computer, she had one goal in mind: increasing her music library.“I thought I could get access to other people"s music folders and they could have access to my music folders,”she says,“and that was about it. I didn"t think it went any further than that.”
Are Your Medical Records Watched? That is, until she was contacted by the Secret Service-with shocking news-someone had stolen personal information from her computer-using the very software she used to trade music. With the help of David Dunn, a member of the Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force, Koeppen decided to see what personal information she could find using a peer-to-peer network.
Thieves typically seek documents such as credit reports, tax returns, or the federal financial student aid application, Dunn says.“Obviously,”says Dunn,“we aren"t going to download it, because it"s someone"s personal information. I"m sure that, whoever (this file sharer) is didn"t want her (student aid application) confirmation number available online for somebody to download.”Pope says she"s done using peer-to-peer.“I"ve gotten all of that off my computer, ”she says.“I pay for music now. It"s the best way to do it. There"s no way that I would ever do that again.”
The trade group for file sharing software companies says they are working on better systems to prevent the misuse of the peer-to-peer networks. Still, Koeppen urges that people, for instance, delete Lime Wire from their computers, or make sure they have the latest version, which should have updated security features.

The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10.The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flick.Flick points to related "blue" minutes on the dial, while Flak points to "red" hour numbers.The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band (尼龙表带).Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine." The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25.Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it"s quite another for them to be on time.

The importance of body language is often mentioned,but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.After all,before a word has even been spoken,your body language will have already given people their first impression of you.Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information.Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident.It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not.Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person.someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time.The members of the application committee will ask you questions,but your answers won’t only be oral.The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it ‘clicks’,and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds.Everybody uses body language,but it takes place mostly at a subconscious(下意识的) level.Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.

Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried doctors may work as hospital staff (员工)members, or residents, who are often still in training . They may teach in medical schools, or be hired by corporations to care for their workers to work for the government’s Public Health Service.
Doctors are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Doctors list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a doctor in the United States. Most would—be doctors first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Then they attend medical school for four years. Tuition(学费)alone can more than $10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young doctors are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in hospital, the first year as an assistant. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several doctors will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These doctors also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.
Doctors work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite practiced many times, still involve risk. It is understandable that doctors want to be well—paid for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.

A.it’s difficult for one doctor to take care of too many patients |
B.they can take turns to work for long hours |
C.facilities may be too much of burden for one doctor to shoulder |
D.no one wants to take too much responsibility |
A.they deserve a very good payment for their expensive education and their responsibility |
B.it is reasonable for doctors to have a large income because their work is dangerous |
C.doctors should be better paid because they work long hours in bad conditions |
D.doctors have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well paid |
