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 two guys out of their garage. So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a little leery of the security levels.

Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虛擬)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 Internet 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(返還) 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 have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（速遞公司）getting in on the act, you never need 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.

1.The underlined word “l(fā)eery” means ________.

A. satisfied B. distrustful

C. hopeful D. sad

2.________ leads to consumers’ trust in online shopping.

A. Shopping law B. Shopping convenience

C. Internet access D. Shopping security

3.Which group of words would the writer use to describe current Internet shopping?

A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal. B. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient.

C. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow. D. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable.

4.The following are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT_________.

A. Internet companies B. courier companies

C. advertising companies D. credit card companies

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker in Pudding Lane．The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning.

By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them.

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑師), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was the new St Paul’s Cathedral.

The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.

A. a hotel B. the palace

C. Pudding Lane D. Thames Street

A. some people lost their lives

B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

C. many famous buildings were destroyed

D. the King’s bakery was burned down

4.Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?

The English language has many ways to talk about something that is funny. 1. It is a basic human need. Physical humour, especially, can cross limits like nationality and language and bring people together from all different walks of life.

Humour comes in many forms. The most obvious and traditional way we use humour is in jokes. 2.This is when a person changes a word or uses it in a different context(上下文) for comic effect.

Another way people can use humour is through telling a funny story. Perhaps something bad happened to the person but they can laugh about it now. People also invent funny stories in order to make people laugh. The advantage of this is that the characters aren’t real. 3.

Physical comedy usually divides opinions. For some, seeing someone fall down, whether it is planned or not, is one of the funniest things they can see. 4. Some types of humour can also be harmful if someone is not in the mood for being made fun of！People’s senses of humour vary across the world, so what may be funny in your country might be incredibly harmful in another!

5. The British, for instance, are famous for their humour in English. However, people learning a foreign language face much difficulty when it comes to being funny in a second language.

A.Humour is just one of the ways.

B.Everyone needs to laugh once in a while.

C.Other forms of humour are word play and puns(雙關語).

D.Therefore, you don’t have to feel bad for laughing at them!

E.People of all ages and cultures have a strong sense of humour.

F.Most people know how to use some form of humour in their native languages.

G.For others, finding physical humour and non-serious accidents funny seems cruel.
