The Internet, as we know, is probably one of the greatest inventions of human history. Never before has the access to the collection of the world’s knowledge ever been more available. 1. Some people look to make use of the information you are providing to the Internet. Everything you do online leaves a small footprint.

There are a couple of steps you can take to make your adventures online a little safer and more secure. Let’s take a look at them.

They are also how Facebook knows to serve you ads based on stuff you looked at on Amazon.

So what’s the harm in the cookie? Well, hackers can use the information stored in your cookies to edit a browsing history or with less secure cookies, take your passwords for some sites. If you want to protect yourself from your information being available to sites then you can turn off the generation of cookies in your browser. 3.

4.

The major browsers, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari are all built to be secure from snooping(窥探), but the people who write the code for the browsers are human and they make mistakes.　　 5. These are usually addressed very quickly, but it is important that you make sure your browser is up to date. Just like your operating system, new security patches are being applied all the time, you need to make sure you have them. Turning on automatic updates is something I highly recommend.

A.Use the latest browsers.

B.Change browsers frequently.

C.This will help protect you online.

D.That’s how the cookie works on our computer.

E.This great invention and resource is not without its dangers.

F.It is common for a security problem to pop up with a browser.

G.These cookies store information about who you are and what you looked at.

The　 Toltec---as they were now called ---began to know great abundance　 and enjoy the

generous gifts of the land, as had been foretold　 by Quetzalcoatl.

“He has great powers.He has made us rich.We have not known hunger since he arrived.Where he places his eyes and hands,everything is abundance and beauty.”

They were happy, they were proud. At that time they all still worked at the jobs Quetzalcoatl assigned to them.

Tula grew. People came from far away to admire its growth. Many asked permission to settle down and enjoy its abundance,which was distributed according to the needs of the people.

Topiltzin was in charge of distributing the riches,under the orders of Quetzalcoatl, so that no one would want. They were all content because they all had more than they had ever had. Many worked.They were busy all day.

Quetzalcoatl had spent six years among the Toltecs. The house for the heart of the people was almost finished and the granaries full when he decided.

“There is prosperity(繁荣)and abundance in all the land.Let us extend it beyond the mountains.We shall go to the land of the Chichimecs.It is time to take my mission to them. I shall make them better,I shall make them live together,I shall gather them in towns,I shall teach them to till the land and to build their homes."

"Let us leave them in their land as they are now ,"Topiltzin argued,"They are savages(野蛮人);their life is violent and disorderly.They move freely,like the wind in the mountains and the plains,with nothing to keep them.Leave them where they are.There is much that we must do in our　　 own land.

"I do not belong to this land alone.They are all my brothers,I am to give all of them, I shall　　 look for them. I shall　 take the gods of Tula to them,"Quetzalcoatl said.

"Think carefully about what we shall do.You do not know them.They do not understand words.　 They are like savage animals,like jaguars," Topiltzin insisted.

"I shall go,"said Quetzalcoatl."My life must be accomplished.This time you will not accompany　　 me because you do not have the will to go.I shall leave soon with some of my followers."

"Do not go with so few people! I shall accompany you with skillful warriors who are used

to killing Chichimecs and avoiding their traps." Topiltzin insisted.

"I am not going there with violence. I shall go to them as I came here,to take them the gifts of life and the doctrine of sin and redemption(原罪与救赎)."

"You have not spoken of sin and redemption for a long time," Tattle remarked. He had been listening attentively to the dialogue,and was then close to seventeen years of age."You have not come near the Tree you planted in the square in a long time.The Tree has no shoots,it has not grown,it looks sad and lonely."

"During this time,Tattle,I have often thought of it.There was confusion in my spirit.Now the Tree orders me to spread good in other lands,to make other brothers happy.　 It will soon have shoots."

1.This reading passages is most probably an account of _________________.
