Reading comprehensionReading comprehension       In the mid 1990"s, people started doing business on the Internet. There were two kinds of companies
then.  First,  there were traditional companies.  They sold things in stores.   Then,   there were Internet
companies. They didn"t have a store, and they only sold things on the Net.
       Traditional companies didn"t want to lose any business. Quickly, they made their own websites and
began selling things on the Net. These are the so-called"brick and click"companies (砖块点击公司).
Many stores are made of brick. And you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That"s
where the name"brick and click"comes from.
       By the late 1990"s, competition among Internet companies was great. So e-business like amazon.
com
, buy.com, and etoys.com were in trouble. Their profits (利润) were not very high. Many of these
businesses were losing much money. In 2000, many e-businesses went out of business.
       Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and Walmart so successful? First, many customers
know and trust (相信) their names. Their websites are easy to remember. These companies also have a
lot of experience. In a word, they know how to run a successful business.
In the world of e-commerce (商业), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will
brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.Answer the following questions according to what you read.1. How many kinds of companies were there in the mid 1990"s?
                                                                                                           2. Did Internet companies sell things in stores or on the Net?
                                                                                                            3. What did the traditional companies do to keep their business?
                                                                                                           4. What gave Internet companies a lot of trouble by the late 1990"s?
                                                                                                            5. What can you learn from Barnes and Walmart if you have an Internet company?

阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。     The world is divided into(被分为) two important parts. One half of the world is rich and the other
half is poor. In the poor part, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the rich part, a lot of people eat
too much. In one part, children are hungry and in the other, a lot of people are fatter and fatter and have
to go on diets or do some exercise to lose weight. For example, a dog or a cat in North America eats
better than a child in the poorer countries.
     The poor countries have some difficult problems. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow anything
on. The land can get better, but people have to do a lot of things first. More experts (专家) should go
there to teach people how to enrich their land and how to find water.
     But rich countries have problems, too. They are not always pleasant places to live in. Sometimes the
air is too dirty to breathe (呼吸) and the rivers are too dirty to swim in or to take water. The roads and
the streets are full of people and buses. Cars usually move very slowly. Noise is terrible. A lot of people
do not have houses to live in. People must do something about these problems. We should do something
to make the air and the rivers clean and build more houses. But it will take a long time.

     Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is "__________".
     Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why? I think it is because through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are many advertisements which are very interesting and popular. For example, Michael Jordan made an interesting advertisement for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.
     People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie stars make money in this way. However, I don"t think this is a good way for them to make money, because they are not the professional(职业的) advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements.
     Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means making ourselves known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important jobs. But how can this be done? We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before, advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most interesting thing about advertising.
1. The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is "__________".
A. The Importance of Advertising
B. Making Money through Advertising
C. Advertising Ourselves
D. Advice on Advertisements
2. This passage may be a(an) __________.
A. advertisement
B. story
C. speech
D. report
3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?
A. Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising.
B. Advertising can make some people rich.
C. People can introduce their products through advertisements.
D. Advertising is not necessary for anyone.
根据文章内容,选择最恰当的答案。
     Traditionally, the President is the highest-pad public employee. A salary of $ 400,000, along with other
benefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obama"s income for 2008 was far more than that,
according to the White House.
     The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单) of  Obama an  d Vice -president
Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information
used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax
returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This
transparency helps to prevent corruption (腐败).
     From Obama"s tax returns , we can see that the President and first lady President"s two books
Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope (无畏的梦想). The two books, published in
1995 and 2006,are very popular and have been on the bestseller (畅销书) list for a long time.
     The Obama"s income is down from 2007,when they made $4.2 million. However, that is still far more
than former US President George Bush earned, who reported a total of $719,274 for his final year. The
Obamas" income also greatly exceeded(超出)that of Biden, who reported a family income of $2269,256.
That"s about a tenth of what the Obamas earned. As Vice-president, Biden earns a salary of $220,000.
US families earn an average income of about $50,000.
     The Obama"s tax returns also show that together, the President and his wife paid about $933,000 in
taxes. They gave $172,050 -nearly 6.5 percent of their earnings -to different charity groups. In the US, if
a person gives his money to churches and non-profit (非盈利) organizations, the law reduces his or her
taxes. This is one reason why rich people in the US like to give money to charity.
