What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods. Including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes---the list goes on and on.
The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child, at high school,he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tuft University in 1988, He worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started Bay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the great.com crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.
EBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is to take an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business; the world is your market place. Of course for each item sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

小题2:How does eBay make money from its website? (no more than 10 words)
小题3: From the underlined sentence “he has never looked back”, what can we learn about Peter? (no more than 11 words)

Canadian Classics Professor Margaret Visser points out that the perception that we have “no time” is one of the most strict concepts of Western culture. Visser says that “no time” is used as an excuse and also as a spur(刺激); it both stimulates us and forces us, just as a concept such as ‘honour’ did for the ancient Greeks. According to Visser, the feeling that Westerners have “no time” is abstract, quantitative, amoral(非道德性的), unarguable, bringing pressure on each person as an individual. At the same time, the “no time” excuse escapes censure by claiming to be a condition created entirely out of our good fortune.
Life offers “so many pleasures, so many choices”.
The fact that women now work outside the home has contributed to the “no time” trend. But more important, Visser says, is the fact that feeling rushed has become an important component(成分) of our economy. Marketing of “time-saving” products causes people to buy more and work longer. So we eat out or buy prepared food to save time. The fax-it-to-my-car technology only contributes to the constant hurry. In our rushed and exhausted state, even the obligation(义务) to sit down to casual meal with family seems like a pressure. In comparison with the decision to act on a sudden whimz (一时的兴致) to consume a microwave mug of soup， the act of eating together and not getting up from the table until everyone else has finished seems an incredibly time-consuming event. Being in one’s own personal hurry in the West is somehow “free and preferable”

| A．examination | B．force | C．blame | D．pressure |
| A．Marketing of time-saving products. |
| B．The fax-it-to-me-car technology. |
| C．Eating together and not getting up until everybody has finished |
| D．Longer working hours. |
| A．brings pressure on the individual |
| B．is very desirable to the individual |
| C．is not harmful if you have no control of events |
| D．has caused heart diseases and psychological problems |
Why do bullies act so badly? Just to look for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or a way to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves felt more important-when they pick on someone else, it makes them fell big and powerful. Some bullies come from families where everyone around has a normal way to act. Some bullies are copying what they’ve seen someone else do. Some have been bullied themselves.
Bullying can be a big pain, but you don’t have to let bullying get the best of you. Sometimes just acting bravely is enough to stop a bully. If you walk by and hold your head high as though you’re not afraid, a bully may be less likely to give you trouble. Bullies want a big reaction to their meanness. Acting as if you don’t notice and don’t care is like giving no reaction at all, and this just might stop a bully’s behavior. If you are being bullied, it’s very important to tell an adult. Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom helpers at school can all help to stop bullying. Don’t hit, kick, or push back to deal with someone bullying you or your friends. Fighting back just satisfies a bully, and it’s dangerous, too, because someone could get hurt.
小题1:Which of the following is advisable if you are being bullied?
| A．Giving the bullies a satisfactory reaction. |
| B．Putting up with the bullies’ behavior. |
| C．Turning to grown-ups for help. |
| D．Acting bravely and fight back. |
| A．find people to take care of them | B．shout and let out their anger |
| C．make people notice them | D．show their ability |
| A．get rid of | B．look down upon |
| C．do one’s best | D．get the upper hand of |
| A．Bullying those who bully | B．Getting the best of bullies |
| C．Dealing with bullies | D．Caring about bullying |
A few years ago, some marketing and advertising experts were asked to name the best nickname for an American city. The winner was the nation"s largest city, New York. The top nickname was The Big Apple.
You might wonder how New York got this nickname. In the early nineteen seventies, the city had many problems. The number of visitors was falling. So a campaign was launched to give the city a new image. The head of the New York Conventions and Visitors Bureau decided to call the city, The Big Apple.
There are several explanations for where this name came from. Language expert Barry Popik studied the question and wrote about it on his Web site. He says John Fitz Gerald, a writer for a New York newspaper, used the name The Big Apple to mean New York in the nineteen twenties. Mister Fitz Gerald wrote about horse races. He heard the name used by men who worked at a racetrack in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Mister Fitz Gerald wrote: "The Big Apple. The dream of every lad that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred and the goal of all horsemen. There"s only one Big Apple. That"s New York."
In horse racing, the expression meant "the big time," the place where large amounts of money could be won. The Big Apple became the name of a night club in the Harlem area of New York City in nineteen thirty-four. It also was the name of a popular dance and a hit song in the nineteen thirties.
But it is not the only nickname for America"s largest city. Barry Popik"s web site lists almost one hundred nicknames that describe New York. The best known are The Capital of the World. Empire City. Gotham. The City So Nice They Named it Twice. And, The City That Never Sleeps. You can hear about the city in the song, "New York, New York," by Frank Sinatra.
小题1:Why do many American cities have nicknames?（回答词数不超过15个）
小题2:What did John Fitz Gerald write about for the New York newspaper?（回答词数不超过5个）
小题3:Besides “The Big Apple”, how many best known nicknames that describe New York are listed according to Barry Popik"s web site?（回答词数不超过2个）
In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐) and nitrites(亚硝酸盐), commonly used to keep color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels(标签) of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cows and chick and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although the FDA has tried repeatedly to control these, the practices continue.
小题1:How has science done a bad service to mankind?
| A．Diseases caused by food have been done away with. |
| B．It has caused a lack of information about the value of food. |
| C．Some harmful materials have been added to our food. |
| D．Scientists have made food more expensive to eat. |
| A．They help process packaged food. |
| B．They keep the color in meats. |
| C．They cure diseases of cows and chickens. |
| D．They cause the animals to become fatter. |
| A．You can find out harmful additives on the packaging labels of food. |
| B．Drugs given to animals are not all for medical reasons. |
| C．Researchers knew about the harm of food additives about 60 years ago. |
| D．Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world. |
| A．an organization which controls the safety of food |
| B．a producer which makes additives |
| C．a factory which processes food |
| D．a hospital which cures cancer |
