　　The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before．But just as in face–to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online．

　　The basic rule is simple： treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person' s shoes．For anything you're about to send： ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person's face?” If the answer is “no”, rewrite and reread．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face．

　　If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct(本能反应)is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so．You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages．If it was caused by disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．

　　If you do decide to tell someone in the chat room about a mistake, point it out politely．At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．

　　It is not polite ________ such as their age, sex, and marital status．Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions．

　　It’s that time of year again! The holidays are coming up, and you know what that means…it’s time to shop! Being the busy person that you are, most likely you will do some of your shopping online．And who can blame you? Great prices, great selection, free gift-wrap(礼品包装)…what’s not to love?

　　But take care; taking advantage of the convenience in shopping online could bring risks to both your personal information and your PC．As long as you’re aware of the key issues, you can shop anytime, with the knowledge to protect you．

　　Not every Web site and online shop is a safe and reputable merchant! The truth is many thieves are quite skilled at crafting very convincing, legitimate-looking(貌似合法的)online shopping sites．Be very careful who you purchase from! Make sure you know where you’re shopping and that you read all the rules．

　　A common phishing tactic(网络钓鱼策略)targeting(把……作为目标)online shoppers makes use of online promotions and sales to encourage a consumer to enter personal information in order to receive coupons(赠劵)or other gifts．While many reliable sites offer coupons or samples, they will never ask for extra amounts of personal information, most only require a name and email address．

　　But don’t back away from the PC just yet! By taking into consideration a few simple actions, you can protect your credit, purchases, and personal information while shopping online．Go ahead and give that credit card a practice．You can be safe．

(1)．Always shop from a safe PC．

(2)．Try to stick to the sites you know and trust… such as Amazon, Overstock, and large store websites．

(3)．If you heard about a “great gift” or “special offer” through an email from an unknown address, it is likely fake and should be avoided．

(4)．Make sure that the connection to the website is an http．This doesn't guarantee safety, but in most cases these sites are safe．

(5)．Consider choosing ways of payment, such as cash upon delivery

So enjoy your online holiday shopping．Giving the gift of happiness this holiday season doesn’t have to cost you more than you’ve expected．
