Each time you transmit your sensitive data into a website, you could unknowingly fall for an online fraud, or criminals may hack the computer system at your bank or store.
Fortunately, MetLife Defender provides comprehensive protection against the full range of today’s online risks—beyond your personal computer or device—to keep your personal data safe.
The Good
MetLife Defender has all of the basic services and features that an identity protection plan needs. The individual plan includes:
◇Medical data protection
◇Financial data protection
◇Personal data protection, detection and removal
◇Pre-approval offer and junk mail opt-outs
◇Credit monitoring and alerts
MetLife Defender’s family plan includes some really cool and unique online child safety features. If MetLife’s system detects any cyber-bullying involving your child, it will automatically alert the parents.
The Bad
MetLife Defender doesn’t have anything that “wows” you. Everything they have in their individual plan can be found at another identity protection company. Plus, MetLife Defender has a higher monthly price than most.
The Bottom Line
MetLife Defender is an average product, but what sets them standing out is their family plan. The Online Child Safety Features is an innovative approach to protecting both their identity and themselves emotionally and physically. We wouldn’t recommend MetLife Defender solely on their identity protection, but their child features are worth testing out with their free 20-day trial.
The Family Plan
MetLife’s family identity protection plan covers two adult individuals and an unlimited number of minors—children up to age 18—living in the same household as the covered adults.
Cancellation
If MetLife subscribers cancel a paid monthly subscription mid-month, MetLife services continue until the end of that month. After that, the customer will no longer be billed. If you cancel a paid annual subscription, you will receive a refund(退款)based on the number of full months for which you are no longer enrolled.
1.What is unique of MetLife Defender?
A.Financial data protection.
B.Credit monitoring and alerts.
C.The Online Child Safety Features.
D.Comprehensive protection against online risks.
2.What does the writer imply in the passage?
A.MetLife’s family plan covers a family of only three people.
B.Cyber-crime goes beyond control.
C.Cancellation may cause great loss to users.
D.MetLife Defender costs more than products of the same kind.

MCDONALD’S drew ridicule in China when it changed its registered name there to Jingongmen, or ‘Golden Arches’, in October, after it was sold to a Chinese corporation. Some on Weibo thought it sounded old-fashioned and awkward, others thinking that it had connotations(隐含意义) of furniture. The fast-food chain was quick to reassure customers that its restaurants would continue to go by Maidanglao, a rough transliteration(音译) that has, over the years, become a recognizable brand name. But for most companies now entering Chinese markets, transliterations are a thing of the past, says Amanda Liu, vice-president of Labbrand (朗标公司), a consultancy based in Shanghai that advises firms on brand names.
Companies are instead choosing Chinese names with meanings that capture people’s imagination. That often involves going beyond a direct translation. New entrants are taking inspiration from BMW, which is the evocative Baoma, or ‘treasure horse’, in China, and from Coca-Cola, which is Kekoukele, or ‘delicious happiness’.
The naming process is forcing companies to think harder about the image they want to project in China, says Ms Liu. LinkedIn, a professional-networking site owned by Microsoft,chose the name Lingyin, or ‘leading elite’, in 2014, signifying more exclusivity than its Western name. Her other corporate customers have included Airbnb, Marvel Comics and Haribo. Labbrand tests proposals with focus groups, ensuring that the name has no negative associations in any of the major Chinese dialects.
A vital part of the process is checking that candidate names have not already been snapped up. The Chinese are energetic trademarkers:in 2015 there were 2.8m trademark applications in China, more than treble those in America and the EU combined. Companies considering entering the Chinese market might often find that their products have already been given local names, thanks, for example, to coverage in the press.
Some even find that their Chinese name has already been trademarked, says Matthew Dresden of Harris Bricken, a law firm, either by their own distributors, competitors seeking to block its entry, counterfeiters(伪造者) hoping to pass as the company, or squatters(擅自占用房屋或土地的人)intending to sell the trademark to the highest bidder. Counterfeiters might also take advantage of soundalikes, says Mr. Dresden, who advises clients to trademark those, too.
Perhaps thanks to these mishaps (小事故), foreign firms are getting wiser to the importance of naming in China. More Chinese firms are also seeking advice on foreign names, says Ms. Liu, as they seek to conquer Western markets. Both know that if they blunder, the social-media critics will be waiting.
3.The example of McDonald’s in Paragraph 1 indicates that .
A.it’s not a wise move for McDonald’s to change its name
B.transliteration becomes less popular for many companies
C.Chinese customers don’t like the new name
D.having a good name is important for companies
4.According to the passage, with a proper Chinese name, companies entering the Chinese market are trying to .
A.show a good and impressing image
B.project their ads more widely
C.give inspirations to other companies
D.ensure that customers are attracted
5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.BMW and Coca-Cola’s Chinese names are good examples to other companies.
B.With the Chinese name Lingyin, LinkedIn has more elite members than before.
C.Chinese firms also emphasize their foreign names.
D.Chinese trademark applications are much more than those of America.
