【答案解析】[听力原文] The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale on an illegal web site. Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. Online shoppers who enter their credit card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your credit card number or sell its information on the Internet. Computer hackers have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder's information. Several months ago, 25000 customers of CD Universe, an online music retailer, were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit card numbers were posted on a web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157828 to get back the information. Credit card firms are now fighting against online fraud. MasterCard is preparing to issue a Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping online. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated. Ask about your credit card company's online rules. Under Brithish law, cardholders have to pay the first US $78 of any cheating spending. Send your credit card information only if the Web site offers an advanced security system. If in doubt, give your credit card information over the telephone.
