(D)97 年7 月3 日下午五時第31 題至第34 題為題組When asked to name the most ferocious dinosaur, most people would immediately think of Tyrannosaurus rex,T-rex for short. The T-rex could reach a height of almost fifty feet in length and a weight of five tons. It is equippedwith eight-inch talons on its feet and a huge jaw lined with teeth as long and sharp as steak knives. 31Imagine the surprise, then, when scientists digging in eastern Utah in 1992 found a dinosaur that could wellhave been a match for T-rex fossilized in the rocky lands. 32 The Utahraptor was twenty feet long, smaller thanthe T-rex. However, it had twelve-inch hooked claws on each of its hind legs. While the T-rex had short, stubbyforelimbs, the Utahraptor had large, powerful arms equipped with ten-inch claws. With these, it could grasp itsprey. 33With such evenly matched assets, it is hard to imagine what would happen if the two dinosaurs met each other.However, a contest between the two powerful creatures never took place. 34 Even though scientists can onlyspeculate as to why that happened, it was fortunate for the other dinosaurs that such formidable predators did notexist at the same time.

Phishing sounds the same as theword “fishing,” and it implies a thief is trying to lure people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen,phishers use bait in the form of fake emails and false websites to con people into revealing credit card numbers, accountusernames, and passwords. They imitate well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successfulphishers may convince as many as 5 percent of the people they contact to respond and give away their personal financialinformation. Because people who have access to the Internet (about 350 million) mostly live in wealthier countries, eventricking only 5 percent of them can make a lot of money.Since there is so much money to make through this kind of scam, it has caught the interest of more than justsmall-time crooks. Recently, police tracked down an organized phishing group in Eastern Europe who had stolen millionsof dollars from people online. Further investigation revealed that this group had connections with a major crime gang inRussia.How can innocent websurfers protect themselves? Above all, always be wary of any email with urgent requestsfor personal financial information. Also, messages from phishers will not address recipients by name because they reallydon’t know who the recipients are yet. On the other hand, valid messages from your bank or other companies younormally deal with typically include your personal name.
