The law related to computer crime is changing very quickly. Modern criminals are using computers to help them commit crimes like identity theft and to make it easier to commit old crimes like theft or fraud. One issue that makes it hard to fight computer crime is that this type of offence is often more difficult to solve than traditional crimes because the criminals are invisible and their actions may be hard to prove. Another issue is that it is quite difficult to prosecute a computer criminal successfully because usually nothing is actually stolen or physically damaged. Computers allow criminals access to millions of people whom they may persuade to pay for something worthless.
Until recently, people often disposed of waste in open holes in the ground, called open landfills. But these open dumps were dangerous. Rainfall dissolved some of the chemicals from the waste, forming a liquid called leachate. Leachate could pollute the soil, run off into streams and lakes, or trickle down into the groundwater.
Answer the following questions:
(6 marks)
1. What examples of old and new crimes does the writer give? 2. Why makes it hard to fight computer crime? 3. Why is it difficult to prosecute a computer criminal?

Rewrite these sentences about the text to correct the information: (4 marks)
Some countries have banned the use of open dumps. Another type of landfill is called a sanitary landfill, which is specially constructed to hold the waste material more safely. A sanitary landfill holds municipal solid waste, construction debris and some types of agricultural and industrial waste. Once a sanitary landfill is full, it is covered with a clay cap to keep rainwater out. Capped landfills can be reused for some purposes such as parks. Another solution is composting, but one of the disadvantages of this type is that pesticide residues may be left in the compost. Choose
