4.It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device,and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools.But think about it for a moment.On the Internet,a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage.So it is only reasonable then,that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.
Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground,and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.
Credit card companies,too,quickly saw the potential for online shopping,and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people.If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases,many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you.Now that's buying power!
There are other bonuses for online shoppers,of course.No line-ups,for one.No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won't get them what they want.
When shopping online,consumers can sit down,have a coffee,and wear their slippers,not having to worry about their hair or parking,and just clicking through sale after sale.Comparison shopping couldn't be any easier.And thanks to courier companies(快递公司)getting in on the act,you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.
No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the"virtual"world to attract online shoppers.
9.The underlined word leery meansA.
A.distrustful        
B.confident       
C.hopeful       
D.disappointed
10.Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies onD.
A.shopping freedom              
B.shopping convenience
C.Internet access                  
D.Shopping security
11.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current online shopping?C
A.Adventurous,enjoyable,fast,unreal    
B.Unsafe,cheap,slow,convenient
C.Safe,convenient,fast,comfortable     
D.Reliable,popular,convenient,slow
12.The following companies are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPTB.
A.Internet companies             
B.advertising companies
C.courier companies               
D.credit card companies.

The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!

18.Joe and Mary Mahogany began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter,Maureen.With a checklist of criteria in hand,the family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools.They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major,one located near a large city,and a campus where their daughter would be safe.

"No crime whatever?"comments Mahoney today."I just don't buy it."Nor should he:in 1999the U.S.Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000serious crimes on or around our campuses."Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,"says David Nichols,author of Creating a Safe Campus."Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation."
But getting accurate information isn't easy.Colleges must report crime statistics by law,but some hold back for fear of bad publicity,leaving the honest ones looking dangerous."The truth may not always be serious,"warns S.Daniel Carter of Security on Campus,Inc.,the nation's leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents,Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.

2.We usually believe what our brain tells us,but there is some amazing evidence which shows that the brain tricks us.As a result,we can ignore things that actually are there.Psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched this phenomenon,which they call'change blindness'.
The′Invisible Gorilla(看不见的大猩猩)experiment is probably their most famous one,and it is described in many psychology textbooks.In this experiment,the participants were shown a video of two groups of people (one group in white T-shirts and the other group in black T shirts)who passed basketballs around in a hall.Simons and Chabris asked people to count how many times the white team passed the ball.While the two teams were passing their balls around,a person who was dressed up as a gorilla walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera.Simons and Chabris found that about half of the research participants did not notice the gorilla.
Simons and Daniel Levin did another experiment,called the'Door Study'.Participants in this study were walking across a university campus(校园)when they were stopped by someone they didn't know.The stranger asked for directions and the participant started to give the directions.While the participant was talking to the stranger,two men who were carrying a wooden door talked between the participant and the stranger.At this point,the stranger swapped places with one of the men carrying the door.After that,the participant continued to give the directions.Once again,about half of those tested did not notice that,when the door as passing by,the stranger had changed places with a man who as taller,thinner and who sounded different.
It just goes to show how we can't always trust our own rains.Even though we may think we know what is going on,we can be blind to large changes in our environment.

A.The number of people in the hall.

29.What did Simons and Levin want to study?C
A.Whether people could find the correct directions in a strange place.
B.Whether people were patient to offer help after an interruption.
C.Whether people noticed they were talking to different people.
D.Whether people judged others sound.by their appearance and sound.
30.Why do people sometimes ignore what's before their eyes?A
A.They are concentrating on something else.
B.They don't trust their own brains.
C.They have very bad eyesight.
D.They aren't interested in it.

3.For most people,plastic bags are a necessity of any shopping trip.They might seem like an innocent way to carry groceries,but dealing with these bags can be harmful for the environment.
It's reported that the world uses about 500 billion plastic bags each year and fewer than 3% are recycled.Plastic bags that end up in oceans and beaches are harmful to fish,birds,and other animals.As a result,cities and states have been trying for years to find a way to get people to cut back on using plastic bags.
This year,New York City was prepared to add a 5-cent tax on the use of paper or plastic bags in stores,but Governor Andrea Cuomo signed a law that blocked(反对) the tax.Cuomo said the tax idea was"deeply faulty"because it would have allowed store owners to keep the money from the tax instead of putting it toward environmental efforts.Cuomo announced plans to create a task force to look into the plastic-bag problem.By the end of the year,the task force may suggest a statewide ban of plastic bags,a tax on them,or something entirely new.
Several cities around the country have either banned plastic bags or charged a fee for their use.In Washington,D.C.,the charge is 5 cents per bag.Since the fee started there,the number of plastic bags on the streets and waterways dropped by 60%.Seattle,Washington,has banned plastic carryout bags and charges a minimum of 5cents for paper.Chicago,Illinois,will soon add a 7-cent tax on paper and plastic bags.
In New York,some politicians who thwarted,a tax say it puts,too much to tress on low-income citizens and working families.They argue that those people need the money to spend on food,not on bags.

28.What do the majority of people think of plastic bags?C
A.They are easy to be recycled.
B.They do little harm to wild animals.
C.Shopping can't be done without them.
D.Handling them benefits the environment.
29.Why did Andrea Cuomo sign a law against the bag tax?A
A.Because he thought it was quite imperfect.
B.Because he thought it was something new.
C.Because he thought it would affect the sales of bags.
D.Because he thought it would increase consumers'burden.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?D
A.The higher bag fees are,the better.
B.Paper bags will eventually replace plastic bags.
C.More states in the USA will ban the use of plastic ones.
D.Charging bag fees helped decrease the use of plastic bags.
31.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"thwarted"in the last paragraph?B
A.desired     
B.opposed    
C.abolished     
D.suggested.
