26、Nowadays it is common that people are buying more products and services than ever before through the Internet, so do Americans. And experts say the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries. Online sales now represent as much as 10% of all retail sales in the United States. This has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal.

Taking Lynne for example, she made good use of the Internet. She used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her Wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and daughter. Other than food, 90% of her purchases were made on her home computer. “I find that, by being able to go online, choose the things that I need, and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, I eliminate all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise of that, and I usually get a better selection.”

There are a lot of people like her. Experts say American online shopping hit records in both November and December.57% of Americans have bought something electronically. Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business. Cornell University marketing professor Ed Melaughlin says they can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing, which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing. The stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship. Besides, some stores can please customers by offering to repair electronic products.

Bill Martin is the founder of Shopper Trak. His business helps stores learn about their customers. He said, “There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision, you know, that takes place. Often you need that last sense of “Boy, this is exactly what I want before you are ready to part with money, and you can't always get that online. It's a rather cold process.”

While e-commerce worries some business owners, the only worry for delivery services is keeping up with the number of packages. UPS manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at this time of the year.

UPS is so busy that it has filled 55,000 temporary work positions during the holiday season.

【1】The purpose of this passage is to tell us ________.

A. the challenge online owners are faced with

B. the challenge e－commerce causes to traditional sales

C. the difference between online sales and traditional sales

D. the trouble that customers often meet when purchasing online

【2】The example of Lynne is mentioned in the passage to show________.

A. online sales will replace traditional sales sooner or later

B. traditional stores find new ways to keep their customers loyal

C. traditional stores can't offer enough food to their customers

D. online business has changed many Americans' life

【3】The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”.

A. include   B. avoid

C. increase   D. discourage

27、Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language? The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. 【1】. This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.

Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry. Did you clench (咬紧) your teeth? Did your palms get sweaty when you were anxious? In most cultures, these cues (线索) that reveal emotional states are quite common. But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. 【2】. In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand.

In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). 【3】.

So, what should we do? Should we not use gestures at all? Of course not. 【4】. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.

【5】, you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay!

A．It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture.

B．So, the next time you decide to travel to another country

C．When you flash the “OK” sign there, you’re asking for a fight.

D．They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.

E．Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad.

F．Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication.

G．A general way of saying “Hello” in western culture is a brief handshake.

28、Passage 1

The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services: the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowded road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there’s Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.

Passage 2

Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday. Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching (变白) of the Grate Barrier Reef, which came into the public eye in 2002, is his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk.

29、Do you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I’m just a kid,” you might say! Don’t worry about a little thing like age. For example, one famous inventor — Benjamin Franklin — got his start when he was only 12.

So you don’t have to be an adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination.

So what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model — called a prototype— of your idea.

Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.

If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult’s help to get a patent for your idea, so that it is protected and can’t be stolen by someone else.

If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions：

Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It’s a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.

At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.

Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper”, a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder.

【1】By saying “But I’m just a kid”, you probably mean you ________.

A．have to learn knowledge from other people

B．can do anything though you are young

C．are old enough to become an inventor

D．are too young to achieve anything

【2】Which of the following is the right order of an invention?

A．a prototype—a patent—a good idea—an invention

B．a good idea—a prototype—an invention—a patent

C．a patent—a prototype—a good idea—an invention

D．an invention—a good idea—a patent—a prototype

【3】Who invented something that helps the people who are not able to see to read?

A．Benjamin Franklin.

B．Jeanie Low.

C．Louis Braille.

D．Chelsea Lanmon.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A．Kids have curiosity and imagination

B．There are some world-famous inventors

C．Kids are exactly like adults in a way

D．It is possible for kids to be inventors
