3、In far northern Mongolia, the living of the smallest ethnic group in the country—the Tsaatan community depends on a kind of animal reindeer.

An American named Morgan Keay visited the Tsaatan community when she was studying in Mongolia in 2002. Local leaders told her that the animals were not healthy and the number of reindeer was. getting too small to support the community.

Back in the United States, Morgan Keay and a friend who had also studied in Mongolia started an organization. They named it Itgelthe Mongolian word for "hope".

The It gel Foundation has helped bring foreign scientists to Mongolia to research and treat reindeer diseases. They also helped Tsaatan workers build a community and visitor center. The building includes guest rooms for tourists. The Tsaatan not only work as guides, they now provide services for travelers. The community works in partnership with international tour operators, who had formerly been in control of the services.

People in the community designed the center, which they also own and manage. Before the visitor center was built, families earned an average of 100 dollars a year. Now Morgan Keay says the average is 3 to 4 times that. Money also goes into a community account.

Four years ago the Tsaatan had fewer than 500 reindeer. Now the herd has already reached 900.

Morgan Keay says the Tsaatan are becoming economically independent for the first time.

The Mongolian government is now considering a development plan written by the community that deals with education, health, the environment and economics.

2、The Internet began in the 1960s as a small network of academic and government computers primarily involved in research for the U.S. army. Originally limited to researchers at a handful of universities and government departments, the Internet has quickly become a worldwide network providing users with information on a range of subjects and allowing them

to purchase goods directly from companies via computer. By 1999, 84 million U.S. citizens had access to the Internet at home or work. More and more Americans arc paying bills, shopping, ordering airline tickets, and purchasing stocks via computer over the Internet.

Internet banking is also becoming increasingly popular. With lower overhead costs in terms of staffing and office space, Internet banks are able to offer higher interest rates on deposits and charge lower rates on loans than traditional banks.  "Brick and mortar" banks are increasingly offering online banking services via some special websites to enlarge their traditional services. At present, 14 percent of Internet households conduct their banking by means of the Internet, and the figure is expected to double during the next two or three years.

Increasing commercial use of the Internet has heightened security and privacy concerns. With a credit card, an Internet user can order almost anything from an Internet site and have it delivered to their home or office. Companies doing business over the Internet need many security measures to protect credit card, bank account, and social security numbers from unauthorized access as they pass across the Internet. Any organization that connects its networks to the global Internet must carefully control the access point to ensure that out-siders cannot disturb the organization's internal networks or gain unauthorized access to the organization's computer systems and data.
