阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在短文后的表格中填入恰当的单词。注意：表格的每个空格只填一个单词。
Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment （投资）available in the developing world. Women's education may be unusual territory for economists（经济学家）, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics（经济因素）, with its emphasis on incentives, provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived（剥夺）of an education.
　　Parents in low-income countries fail to invest（投资）in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy （预言) becomes self- fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
　　An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy.
Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.

　　Until recently the chances for criminal activity(犯罪活动)on the Internet have been low．However, business done on the Internet is growing rapidly, as people order books and other products and make money transactions(交易)．All this is a strong temptation(诱惑)for hackers．

　　Hackers are often young people who are deeply attractedby computers．They use them to prowl the Internet, looking for ways to break into computer systems(系统)run by banks, telephone companies and even government departments．They look for examples of credit cards(信用卡)and try to steal the numbers．

　　Recently in America, hackers have been caught testing the security(安全)system at the Pentagon, headquarter(总部)of the American Defence Department．But still the backers insist often for a dare “because it’s there” although with what success nobody really knows．

　　Hackers seldom admit to(享有)a successful break in．The first sign of a security breach(泄密)may be when a customer discovers fraudulent(欺骗)money transaction on a credit card account(账户), and it is hard to discover it．

　　“You just don’t give your credit card out to anybody, ”says Michael White, multimedia product manager for clear communications, “and in the same way you should regularly change your credit card entering number, you can defeat hackers by regularly changing your　Internet password(密码)．If you don’t, it’s like leaving the bank vault(金库)door wide open．”

　　The warning against hackers is out there, and the answer is obviously to choose tricky passwords and change them frequently and to watch who you pass your credit card details to．
