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 (升级) 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 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 lake 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, 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.
42. We learn from the text that eBay provides people with _________.
A. a way of buying and selling goods 
B. a place to show their own photos
C. a website for them to upgrade
D. a chance to buy things at low prices 
43. Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university? 
A. For fun                                     B. To make money 
C. For gathering the engineers                            D. To fulfill a task of his company

A. did not feel lonely                             B. was always hopeful 
C. did not think about the past                             D. became more and more successful

举一反三
The first thing to remember about homework is that it needs to be done as soon as you get home from school. Since many parents do not give doses to help you sleep at night, the homework MUST be done first. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done as soon as you get home. It is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching breaks. Every kid of you really needs these little breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your responsibility to do your homework. Next time you tend to depend on Mom and Dad for a roadmap, please try to struggle with it first, because it is good for you.
When you have questions, especially something about a science or a math problem, don’t always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to struggle with them first and try to work them out. Sometimes, if this doesn’t work, look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to pages and and understanding everything completely.
At last, while doing homework, don’t be looking away but continue working. Setting time limits often helps with this. Different ages decide different fair amounts of time. 10-15minutes is good for a child that’s age 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can achieve 30-45 minute intervals of study at age 13-15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to concentrate and stay on task.

A. to do their homework quickly and properly

Each winter, the rugged North Shore serves up some of the largest and most impressive ocean waves on the planet.Giant waves make their long journey across the northern Pacific to the area’s shoreline.For many island residents, this means only one thing: surf up.

The exact origin of surfing is unknown, but most historians believe that the Polynesians were already very good at the sport by the time they migrated to the Hawaiian Islands some 2 000 years ago.Early Hawaiians called surfing “He’e nalu”, which literally translates to “wave sliding”.During this time, only high-ranking officials and nobles had access to the best surf spots.King Kamehameha himself was said to be a keen and skilled surfer.
Surfing really took off in the early 1990s.Riding boards made from redwood and balsa wood, early surfers risked their lives to take on these giant waves.
Today, thanks to a number of modern innovations and inventions, the surfing population on the North Shore has exploded.Wave riders and spectators from around the world gather here from November to February, hoping to catch that perfect wave.Winter wave heights can get as high as 20 feet, with faces up to 50 feet! This extreme surf is for experts only, and even then conditions are considered highly dangerous.
World-known surf contests are held here from early November to late December.The Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing, which includes the Vans Hawaiian Pro at Ali’ i Beach Park in Hale’ iwa, the Rip Curl Cup at Sunset Beach, brings together the world’s best professional surfers.Watching them surfing on the grand waves is really a feast for the eyes.
Although winter on the North Shore may not be the best time and place to learn how to surf, the summer months provide safer and more favorable conditions.

Many parents find that their children act very mean to their friends.They wonder what they can do about this behavior without squashing their spirit.Here is what parenting experts explain and suggest:
Pre-schoolers have no idea how others feel.They are in the process of understanding their own feelings and have not yet developed “emotional intelligence”.Children of this age also do things just because it can make them feel powerful when they are able to make others respond.
Here are some things you can do to reduce the mean talk:When the child’s in a good mood, look her in the eyes and lovingly tell her how you feel when she speaks in a mean way to another child.Have a look of disappointment on your face and role-play with her to show her the behavior you would like to see.Then, every time you see her demonstrating the “nice” interaction with others, stop what you’re doing, give her eye contact and make a big deal out of it.Young children need to know what good behavior looks like with regular encouragement.When you catch her being mean to a child, get down on your knees next to her, and, with your arm around her, face the child that is receiving her meanness, and apologize to the child for both of you, then walk away.As soon as the other child is away, let your daughter know how disappointed you are in her behavior and quickly let it go.
Parents should set up a consequence when this negative behavior occurs.You can give these other ideas a try first.If you’re not seeing any results after a few times, then go ahead and set up the consequence (such as not being able to play with that child).Avoid using “time out” because it doesn’t work.It gives the child too much power and too much attention.The most effective consequences are those that are directly tied to the behavior.If she is being mean to children, then the play session ends.And most importantly, set up this consequence in advance when the negative behavior is NOT occurring.
If you should catch her being a “bully” to another child, and she has somehow hurt him or her, immediately put all your attention on the victim, not her.Don’t scold or punish your daughter.Softly, gently, and immediately, nurture the hurt child and get your daughter to assist you in the nurturing.When things have calmed down, let her know face to face how disappointed you are in her behavior, not her as a child.
68.When a child talks mean to his friend, the best way to correct it is to ________.
A.tell him directly that it is a wrong doing             B.demonstrate what a good behavior is
C.make him apologize to his friend                         D.ask his friend not to play with him any more
69.The underlined phrase “make a big deal out of it” in paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A.show some disappointment                                  B.say a few words of praise
C.exchange gifts with the child                                D.present a surprised look
70.When dealing with a child’s mean action, you shouldn’t _______.
A.punish her in the presence of her friend            B.put on a disappointed look on your face
C.tell her that you are unhappy to see that          D.nurture the hurt child immediately
71.The passage is mainly about how to _______.
A.bring up children                                                       B.solve pre-school children’s problems
C.help children make friends                                     D.guide children when bad behaviors occur

The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year,but it’s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house.
