Ben is reading the following magazine article now. He wants to find out more about a special kind of theft.
Identity(身份) theft
The modern world is very convenient. It's 85 to buy or rent things. We can do a lot of our shopping and banking on the Internet. However, we also face a growing problem: identity theft.
We often give our personal information to stores. That 86 our birth date, personal ID number, and home address. When we apply for a store membership, we give our information to a stranger. When buying something online, we do the same thing.
87 work hard to get that information. They- steal receipts(收据) and 88 computers. They also try to steal our passwords. They can use that information to become" another person. That's identity theft.
One common crime is to apply for a credit card using 89 else's name. The thief buys expensive things but doesn't pay the bill. That can hurt a victims credit. With bad credit, it's harder to get bank or car loans.
90 can you prevent identity theft? First, be careful about giving away personal information. 91 give someone your birth date and personal ID number when necessary. Second, tear up old credit card receipts and bank statements if you don't want them. Finally, some experts recommend paying in cash as much as possible.

In the 1500s, South American fishermen said that the sea became warmer every few years. They gave this special event a Spanish name 'El Nino', meaning 'the baby'. It is called 'the baby' because it arrives around Christmas.
El Nino is a huge area of warm water in the middle of cold water in the Pacific Ocean. It happens every two to seven years. It moves around the ocean and becomes bigger and smaller at different times. This warm water affects the weather. It is always raining over El Nino. El Nino contains a lot of energy. Scientists think this energy is formed when wind comes from the northern half of the world. The winds blow across warm sea water in the south. When the strong wind hits the warm water, violent weather happens. Scientists think that El Nino existed for many thousands of years.
El Nino affects every person in the world because it affects the entire world's weather. It can bring the rain that farmers need. It can bring storms that destroy homes. It can mean that fishermen cannot catch fish, and it can bring floods. There is nothing we can do about El Nino. It is an event of nature. We can help the world's weather by trying to stop the greenhouse effect and air pollution. The most important job for scientists is to learn how to predict when El Nino is going to bring dangerous weather. Then, people can try to prepare for storms, floods and droughts. New technology like satellite pictures and temperature measuring equipment can help. Still, it is very hard to say when or where El Nino will cause damage.
