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

Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a low­key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e­mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different person when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Texas to LA , where they are settling now.

1.When was it that Selena arrived at the low­key coffee shop?

A．At ten. B．At ten to nine.

C．At ten past nine. D．At thirty past nine.

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the second paragraph?

A．Selena went into her film career as soon as we met in the coffee shop.

B．Three famous films filmed in 2012 have shown her teen style.

C．The film Hotel Transylvania is an action flick filmed in 2012.

D．Each of the three films marks Selena's move away from her teen style.

3.What did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?

A．She thought of playing in Disney a blessing.

B．She didn't feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.

C．She found her not accomplished in her performance in Disney.

D．She believed her being part in Disney Channel a blessing.

4.The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means “________”．

A．moved B．Picked C．Changed D．informed

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential . Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans Available

Continental Breakfast

Breakfast and Dinner

Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self?catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room?-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long?stay student.

A. foreigners hoping to build British culture

B. hosts willing to receive foreign students

C. English learners applying to live in English homes

All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, can go to top universities and have a bright future．So they always expects their children to make fully use of their time to study．They don’t allow them watch TV, play computer games or go out to play with their friends．Some students just complained that their parents are only concerned about their grades and not their other need．

To my opinion, how our parents are doing is out of nothing but the love．The most important thing, I think, is that they should learn to communicate with our parents, telling them that we’ll never let them down and will work harder to earn trust and respect from them．
