4、 someone wrongfully obtains and uses another persons personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. A recent General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750,000

5、 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. And that number may be low, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they have been victimized.Identity theft is “an absolute epidemic,” states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and advocate of privacy. “Its certainly p

6、icked up in the last four or five years. Its worldwide. It affects everybody, and theres very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you cant detect it until its probably too late.”Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their use, you pe

7、rsonal data, especially your social security number, your bank account or credit card number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data, can be used, if they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense.

8、any people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds out of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether, running up vast debts and carefully consider your job search objective and the level of risk you are willing to assume.CareerB,

9、 for example, offers three levels of privacy from which job seekers can choose. The first is standard posting. This option gives job seekers who post their resumes the most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible.The second is anonymous (匿名的) posting. This allows job seekers the same v

10、isibility as those in the standard posting category without any of their contact information being displayed. Job seekers who wish to remain anonymous but want to share some other information may choose which pieces of contact information to display.The third is private posting. This option allows a

11、 job seeker to post a resume without having it searched by employers. Private posting allows job seekers to quickly and easily apply for jobs that appear on CareerB without retyping their information.3. Safeguard your identity.Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while u

12、sing the Internet to search out jobs is to conceal their identities.

13、. Depending on your title, it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name of your company is provided.

16、 contain references to your name or other information that will give away your identity. The best solution is an email address that is relevant to the job you are seeking such as salesmgr2004.5. Protect your reference.If your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of your r

Keep confidential (机密的) information confidential.Do not, under any circumstances, share your social security, drivers license, and bank account numbers or other pe

18、rsonal information, such as race or eye color. Honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. Dont provide this even if they say they need it in order to conduct a background check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book dont fall for it.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。1. Robert
