单选题THE DANGERS OF IDENTITY THEFT Identity theft is an increasingly pressing concern as the global economy has become highly dependent on online banking transactions. Currently, the Internet Initiative Network is working with international authorities to reduce the amount of identity theft that occurs each day. The IIN, which was established in 1982 by George Barker, attracts the leading computer scientists from around the world. Its aim is to reduce the amount of identity theft by over 70% within ten years, and to show governments how they can implement regulattions that place tighter controls on electronic banking. A recent research report from the Internet Initiative Network indicates that over 30% of regular Internet users have been the victim of identity theft. An additional 10% have had their identities exploited for the purpose of illegally transferring money. Although only around one third of the participants in the study revealed how much they had lost in identity scams, it is estimated that around $350 million was lost last year in such incidents. This is the highest amount recorded since the IIN began collating data on identity theft 10 years ago. When asked why the problem of identity theft had become so big, many participants suggested that the government was to blame for failing to support efforts to improve online security.

单选题From: CurtisGordonTo: Sally Wright; Ben Lumis; Javier Sanchez; Kristina StoikovicCC: Vladimir OlskaSuject: CRT next weekHello everyone, This is a message for all department managers. After receiving numerous complaints from patients about the attitude of the staff over the past few months, I have decided to run a customer relations training workshop next week. I have hired a consultant, Vladimir Olska, who is an expert in client relations, to instruct these sessions. The workshop will run once a day from 10 am to 12 pm and will include the same content daily. In each session, employees will watch films and take part in role-play exercises. It is hoped that this measure will help to improve our level of customer service. All clinical staff, including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, and counselors, are required to attend at least one of the sessions. Please make alterations to the work schedule for next week to ensure that the employees can meet this important obligation. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email or call me. Thanks, Curtis Gordon CEO, Langford Hospital From: Ben Lumis TO: Curtis Gordon Suject: Re: CRT next week Dear Curtis, I think the CRT workshop sounds like an excellent proposal. A lot of the problems we have with patients in the emergency department come as a result of poor customer service skills, and I'm sure my employees will benefit immensely from Mr. Olska's advice. However, the timing of the workshops concerns me. Next week, several members of my staff are going to Seattle for a conference on emergency medical management. This means that the remaining employees will have to work overtime to cover their absence. I do not think we can afford to send any clinical staff to this training event because we will urgently need them in the ED. In light of this, would it be possible to reschedule the training for the following week? By then, we should have all our staff on board and it should be possible to balance the work roster. Regards, Ben Lumis Head of the Emergency Department, Langford Hospital
