展开英文短文,再悬停查词
The message said, "Get free game coins today!" It showed a colorful button and a picture from a popular game. My brother almost tapped the link.
"It looks official," he said.
"Maybe," I answered, "but the address is strange." The website name had extra letters, and the message asked for his password.
Real companies do not usually ask you to enter your password from a random message. We closed the page and opened the game app directly.
Free is not always safe.

读懂了什么?
读完后,试着用一句话说出本文的主要意思,并从原文找出支持它的一句话。
查看中文译文
那条消息写着:‘今天免费领取游戏币!’旁边有个色彩鲜艳的按钮,还有一张热门游戏的图片。弟弟差点点开链接。
他说:‘看起来像官方发的。’
我说:‘也许吧,不过这个网址很奇怪。’网站名称多出几串字母,消息还要求他输入密码。
正规公司通常不会通过一条来历不明的消息让你输入密码。我们关掉网页,直接打开了游戏应用。
免费的东西也未必安全。
