Lots of people enjoy online shopping You don't have to sit in traffic jams or wait at bus stops or at train stations You don't have to collect your product because they deliver it right to your door But shopping online isn't all great - you need to be very careful when deciding what to buy and where to buy it Here are some tips Firstly, Use a secure connection The easiest way of making sure the connection is secure is to
look for the lock sign in the address bar Another is to look at the start of the website address If this starts

disagree- the shop can't say you did anything illegal, like using another person's credit card to pay Banks
usually contact you if they think something is wrong Thirdly, create a strong password It's usually a good idea to change your passwords every few months Also, try to use a different password for different online shopping sites: once someone guesses one’s password, they can get access to everything you do online Finally, check other customers’ comments Always check the seller's history when using online sites You can get an idea by looking at other buyers’ comments If you are not sure about a product, you can always send the seller a question and the good sellers will reply fairly quickly

delighted They may also enjoy surprising experts and journalists who believed they had absolutely no
prospect of achieving anything
In contrast, the athlete who everyone assumed would win with ease, but then suffers a narrow (42) , may not celebrate their silver medal This reaction differs sharply from the athlete who comes

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
While most people think of the prototypical geek when describing computer programmers, the field is becoming more diverse as more people enter the field, attracted by high salaries However, successful software developers are intelligent, abstract thinkers who are good at mathematics and logical reasoning A programmer must be able to pay attention to details, since as Sean Tierney, an IT manager at an Internet start-up, notes, “Abstract thinking is needed, not ambiguous thinking You have to be able to pay attention
to details A misplaced comma will stop the application from functioning.”
Software development is still a male-dominated field The current programming culture is still known for relaxed attitudes towards time-keeping and dress codes, not to mention a distaste for authority The combination of high salaries and high demand allows these professionals to have more control over their working conditions “Managing programmers is like herding cats” is a common expression in the industry
Contrary to the geek stereotype, communication skills both written and verbal are very important Good
software engineers employ clearly defined specifications and well documented code so that future programmers will have a clear understanding of what has already been done A typical dot-com will have only a few software engineers because of high costs Therefore, a staff programmer may be called upon to represent and explain technical requirements to other staff, clients, and partners
The salaries are quite high in this field, ranging from $50K to $120K+, depending on years of experience, educational background, range of languages and skills, management level (such as development leader), and industry Note that start-ups may pay significantly less than banks or other major corporations; and consultants may earn significantly more than their full-time, one-company counterparts Nevertheless, many employees prefer to work at lower-paying dot-coms and software development houses
because they prefer a more relaxed, egalitarian company culture No matter how what industry, benefits
include stock options and bonuses, although these also vary from place to place
