Daily Preview of Reality
I'm blond too
- Hey, Ivy. Having a good time?
- Yes! Oh, by the way, good job on the speech, Toby.
- Thanks! I'm glad there's at least one person who liked it.
- Why, somebody said something?
- Anna was saying, “The greatest public speakers know how to tell appropriate
jokes," or something to that effect.
- Well, she has a point there.
- OK, so I told a blond joke and that was bad. So what? That's probably why I'm not
ranked among the greatest speakers.
- Toby, I'm blond too.

금발이 너무해
- 아, Ivy. 즐거운 시간 보내고 있어요?
- 그럼요! 참, 연설 잘 하던데요, Toby.
- 고마워요! 최소한 한 명은 칭찬을 해 주네요.
- 왜, 누가 뭐라고 해요?
- Anna가, '사람들 앞에서 연설을 잘 하는 사람은 농담도 골라서 한다' 뭐 그런 얘기를 해서요.
- 음, 일리가 있는 말이긴 하네요.
- 그래요, 금발을 놀리는 농담을 한 건 실수였습니다. 그래서 어쩌라고요? 그래서 내가 연설을
잘 하는 사람 축에 못 드는 거겠죠!
- Toby, 저도 금발이거든요.

Protect yourself online
Several major online threats including spam, spyware, and virus infections have declined
significantly over the past few years. But they still pose a great concern, according to
a U.S survey. The result shows that the odds of becoming cyber victims have dropped
to 1 in 6, from 1 in 4 last year. Still, American consumers lost almost $8.5 billion and replaced
about 2.1 million computers because of viruses, spyware, and e-mail scams over the two years
the survey covered. Phishing is a serious concern, as well. About 6.5 million users gave
scammers personal information over the past two years and 14% of them lost money.
