Katy and I have been friends since college, for more than thirty years. Our friendship has 　1 constant（不变的）. We have seen each other through all the times when we really need a friend. In 　2 of our friendship, Katy and I took our first 　3 trip together.

The first day of our trip ended in Santa Fe, New Mexico. 　4 with the long drive, we decided to go to the restaurant for dinner. We sat down and 　5 our meal. As we talked, I noticed a（n） 6 couple sitting a short distance away from us. The look of 　7 on the woman’s face attracted me..

I called Katy’s 9 to the couple. As we watched, the man reached 　10 to place a gentle kiss on the woman’s cheek. She 　11 . “Now that’s what I call real love! I imagine they’ve been married for a long time.” I said. “ 12 maybe,” remarked Katy, “They haven’t been together long.” “Well, whatever the case, it’s 　13 they care much for each other,” I said.

Katy and I watched and listened 14 to their conversation. She smiled and 15 whatever he said. We were touched by the warm scene we were witnessing（看到）. Then the 16 changed. The woman’s wrinkled but beautiful face was suddenly covered with a 　17 look. She asked the man in a sweet voice, “Do I know you? What is this place?” “You know me. I’m Ralph, your husband. We’re in Santa Fe,” the man said. “Oh, I 　18 to have forgotten. I’m not sure,” she said. “That’s okay, sweetheart. You’ll be all right,” he 　19 her, kissing her cheek again.

Dear Mum and Dad,
How are you doing? ________________________________________________

The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal web site.
Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care.
On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number — or sell the information over the Internet. Computers hackers have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago, 25, 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(零售商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157, 828 to get back the information.
Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Mastercard is working on plans for Web — only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
Ask about your credit-card firm’s on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders have to pay the first US $78 of any fraudulent(欺骗性的) spending.
And shop only at secure sites; Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.
If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start https: //—the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.
Keep your password safe: Most on-line sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.
