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. give an example of fraud on the Internet.
D. show that you shouldn‟t trust anyone 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.
