Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment. It’s easy for puter crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the puter is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing remendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The puter criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of unmonly bad luck. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, mit suicide, or go to jail, puter criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good remendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because pany executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their puter had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (詐騙 ) the most confidential （保密） records right under the noses of the pany’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another puter criminal departs with just the remendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere. 26. It can be concluded from the passage that _______________.

In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and indecision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”. If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important – and that has happened in some cases – we are as badly off as before, only in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism” – but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neoPopism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are being more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit – nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyse man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own pro
