When yu are nline, yu can be anyne r anything. Yu can create yur wn image and a new persnality. These digital identities are knwn as avatars(化身).
The first simple 2D avatars appeared in rle-playing cmputer games in the 1980s. Yet, very few peple knew that future avatars wuld have such a wide variety f frms and uses. By the late 1990s, they had been used in web chats.
When peple started creating their wn avatars, they discvered that they were ging t have the pwer t create new identities that did nt lk r act like their real selves at all. They culd dress their avatars in fancy clthes, r they culd try being smene f the ppsite sex. When Internet users realized that their avatars wuld be seen by many peple, nt just their friends, they started having mre than ne avatar. Avatars let yu express yurself and they give yu lts f rm fr creativity.
Of curse, the avatar yu chse says a lt abut yur persnality. If yur blg avatar is a picture f a cute cat, yur message is “like relaxing and having fun”. Well-knwn cartn characters r laughing mnkeys say “I’m a really funny persn”. Mst peple create avatars that have similar features t their persnalities and that lk mre r less like them and act like them. Hwever, peple bviusly make their avatars lk better than they d in real life.
Nwadays, avatars are everywhere and very useful. In mst web chats, peple chse an avatar frm a selectin f ready-made images r create their wn images. Yu can als use avatars that mve arund and talk when yu type in yur message.
Despite the advantages f avatars, the use f avatars has als caused a few cncerns. Sme users wrry that they are spending s much time in virtual wrlds that they are becming afraid f meeting peple in the real wrld. The use f several avatars can als be a risk, as peple can use avatars t cheat thers nline.

If yu use “123456”, “passwrd’’ r “qwerty” as a passwrd, yu’re prbably aware that yu’re at the risk f being attacked by hackers(黑客). But yu’re nt alne. 36 Recently, passwrd management service NrdPass has carried ut a study t determine the 200 mst cmmnly used passwrds arund the wrld. They analyzed the data acrss 50 cuntries.
The findings shw passwrd chices are ften attached t cultural references. 37 In the UK, “liverpl” was the third mst ppular passwrd, with 224,160 hits, while the name f Chilean ftball club “clcl” was used by 15,748 peple in Chile, making it the fifth mst cmmn chice.

T vercme the security issues linked with passwrd-based authenticatin systems, researchers and develpers are nw cncentrating n creating authenticatin systems which dn’t depend n passwrds at all. 40 Fr example, tw-factr authenticatin (2FA) and multi-factr authenticatin (MFA) methds are gd ways t secure yur accunts. These methds cmbine a passwrd with bimetric infrmatin (fr example, a face scan r fingerprint) r smething distinguishable, like a captcha(验证码). All in all, a secure passwrd is the first line f defense against Internet attacks. Dn’t give up security fr cnvenience.
A. As a result, they put themselves under ptential nline security threats.
B. The findings shw that passwrds tell ur emtins and ur identity.
C. Besides, there are ther ways t prtect yur persnal infrmatin.
