The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellite users. Users of socalled “dumb” terminals (., those without processing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system. Personal puter (PC) users typically access the host through a modem (調(diào)制解調(diào)器). A PC software program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and PC, allowing the user to operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard or a mouse.National and regional online systems usually have local telephone umbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect longdistance connection, thus reducing longdistance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users to copy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reduces the time the user is connected to the online system.Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from fulltext journal libraries to reports of missing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and municate with other users. In exchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee.
