At a click of mouse consumers can purchase the goods and service they need at online shops.

What they have to do is waiting for the goods sent to their shall all be grateful to the

pioneers of online shopping for bringing us such convenience.

（

Online

shopping

was

invented

and

pioneered

by

Michael

Aldrich

in

the

1979

he

connected a television via a telephone line to a real-time multi-user transaction

（交易）

processing

computer. He sold mainly Business-to- Business systems. There were a number of significant world

firsts with new applications in several business fields.

Jeff Bezos

（

the USA

）

Jeff

Bezos

defined

online

shopping

and

rewrote

the

rules

of

Berners-Lee

invented the World Wide Web server and browser

（浏览器）

in 1994, Jeff Bezos read an

article about how the World Wide Web was growing by 2,300 percent a knew he had to tap

into

such

a

great

potential

for

commerce.

On

July

6,

1995,

Bezos

launched

,

which

operated out of the garage of his two bedroom home in suburban Seattle, Washington. With almost

no publicity, sales took

off immediately.

The company has now expanded into dozens of product

categories,

forcing the world’s biggest retailer

（

零售商）

to rethink their business models, and finally

changing the way people shop.

Jack Ma

（

China

）

As

a

child,

Jack

Ma

was

bad

at

maths

but

fascinated

by

English.

He

travelled

to

the

United

States

in

1995

as

a

translator

to

help

a

Chinese

firm

recover

payment.

The

attempt

failed.

But

a

friend in Seattle showed Ma the Internet, and an idea began brewing.

In

1999,

Mr

Ma

gathered

17

friends

and

founded

Alibaba

in

his

apartment

in

Hangzhou.

Alibaba’s

model

was

simple:allow

small

and

medium-sized

Chinese

companies

to

find

global

buyers

they

would

otherwise

only

be

able

to

meet

at

trade

shows.

It

works

brilliantly.

.What made a success?

from retailers.

22

.How did Jack Ma have the idea of founding Alibaba?

A.A translator helped him.

B.A Chinese firm inspired him.

C. He was introduced to the Internet.

was funded by some companies.

.What do the pioneers have in common?

B

An old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great

confusion

of

the

traffic

and

with

no

small

danger

to

herself.

It

was

pointed

out

to

her

that

the

pavement was the place for pedestrians, but she replied:“I’m going to walk where I

like.

We’ve got

liberty now.”

It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled

（

授权）

the pedestrian to walk

down

the

middle

of

the

road,

then

the

end

of

such

liberty

would

be

universal

chaos.

Everybody

would be getting in everybody else’s way and nobody would get anywhere.

Individual liberty would

have become social chaos.

There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady, and it is just

as

well

to

remind

ourselves

of

what

the

rule

of

the

road

means.

It

means

that

in

order

that

the

liberties of all may be preserved, the liberties of everybody must be limited. When the policeman

steps into the middle of the road and puts out his hand, he is the symbol not of tyranny

（暴政）

, but

of liberty.

Liberty is not a personal affair only,but a social contract

（契约）

. In matters which do not touch

anybody else’s liberty,

of course, I may be as free as 1 like. If I go down the street dressed strangely,

who shall say me no? We have a whole kingdom in which we rule alone and can do what we choose.

But directly we step out of that kingdom, our personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other

people’s liberty.

We all tend to forget this.A reasonable consideration for the rights or feelings of others is the

base of social conduct.

24

.What does the first paragraph serve as?

A. A background.

B. An introduction.

C. A comment.

D. An explanation.

25

.Which is an example of getting liberty-drunk?

A. Park anywhere you like.

B. Walk along the pavement.

C. Wear whatever you like.

D. Make loud noises in the wild.

26.

What might the author have stated his “rule of the road” (Paragraph 2) as?

A. Follow the orders of policemen.

B. Do what you like in private.

C. Never walk in the middle of the road.

D. Do not behave inconsiderately in public.

27.

What does the underlined word “qualified” (Paragraph 3) mean?

A. Limited.

B. Ruined.

C. Improved.

D. Educated.

The traditional tent cities

at

festivals

such as

Glastonbury may never be the same again.

In a

victory of

green business

that is

certain

to

appeal

to

environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design

student is

to

receive financial support to

produce eco-friendly tents

made of cardboard that can

be

recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.

Major festivals

such as

Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at

the end of

events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop

came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard

has been made waterproof.

第

Taking inspiration from

a Japanese architect,

who has used cardboard to

make big buildings

including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.

The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated

from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.

To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s pr

ivate companies which fund new businesses

and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors

and won their support. Mint has committed around

￡

500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30

per cent in Mr. Dunlop’

s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before

being marketed fully next year.

Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such

as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.

For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the

Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be

personalized

and

the

company

will

offer

reductions

on

the

expense

if

people

agree

to

sell

exterior(

外部的

) advertising space.

The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonhury having some

150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the

UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

Sports

accounts

for

a

growing

amount

of

income

made

on

the

sales

of

commercial

time

by

television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract views from particular

sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.

An

attraction

of

sports

programs

for

the

major

U.S.

media

company

is

that

events

are

often

held

on

Saturday

and

Sunday

afternoons

—

the

slowest

time

periods

of

the

week

for

general

television viewing. Sport events

are the most popular weekend programs,

especially

among male

viewers

who

may

not

watch

much

television

at

other

times

during

the

week.

This

means

the

television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally

would

be

dead

time

for

programming.

Media

corporations

also

use

sports

to

attract

commercial

sponsors

that

might

take

their

advertising

dollars

elsewhere

if

television

stations

did

not

report

certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of

major corporations realize that sports

attract

male

viewers.

They

also

realize

that

most

business

travelers

are

men

and

that

many

men

make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.

Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers,

and the ratings(

收视率

) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to
