Online shopping is very popular among most Internet users. Almost 85 percent of Web users in the U. S. shop online. Korea, with 99 percent, is one of the countries where shopping online is very popular. Online shopping is easy, fast and convenient because users can shop from their homes using their computers. While online shopping is easy, there are also things you should be careful about.
If you are shopping at an online store, make sure to have your credit card handy. Many people are hesitant（有顾虑的) to give out sensitive information on the web but this is the easiest way to buy clothing without having to wander thro ugh a mall（商场）.
When shopping online, do some research to ensure that the online store you are going through has an easy return policy. Shopping for clothes online is easy and convenient but it's good to know that if something doesn't fit correctly, it won't be a huge hassle(麻烦) to return the purchase.
The Internet has become so common that for some, it is an everyday pastime. It is more convenient for most people on a busy schedule, and the savings in time and gasoline from driving around town make it hard to pass up. Using the Interact puts vast amounts of information at your fingertips. It's like being at the mall without crowds. With a couple of clicks of the mouse you can book a hotel, make airline reservation, send gifts to friends and family, buy that designer handbag you have always wanted, or order tens of thousands of other items. Another benefit you won't find shopping in a store or at the mall is that the internet is open around the clock, Seven days a week... 24 hours a day.
56. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. 85 percent of Americans shop online
B. every online store has a return policy

Do you know how to be happy? Here are six ways for you to find more pleasure in your life.
Play that song you love so much. As a preschooler can tell you, repetition can lead to pleasure. When you experience something more than once, you notice more details about it each time, and it increases your enjoyment. That's why you love revisiting that jazz club, favorite restaurant, and beloved old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you can overdo it
Don't buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist Tyler says that much of the joy we get from our purchases lies in the experience of seeking them out, getting them home, and opening them up. If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, you'll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one a time and space out the pleasure.
Look outside. Our ancestors spent almost all of their time outside, surrounded by trees, water, and sky. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit. Even a small dose of nature elevates（使高兴) our mood.
Physical contact with animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with pleasure and decreases those connected with stress. Even people without pets can get some of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes at a dog shelter.
Smile. Well, like it or not, smiling improves your mood. Here's why: people react better to you when you look happy, which in turn leads you to be happy. What’s more, looking happy fools your brain into thinking that you are happy.
60. According to the writer, buying things one at a time can_____.
A. helps us save some money
B. spare time for other activities
C. increase our experience of happiness
D. give us more time to consider the purchase
61. What’s the best title for P aragraph 5?

D. Spending time outside harms your spirit.
63. What’s most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. The effect of pleasure on life.

C. Another way to find pleasure.
D. Reasons for finding more pleasure.
C
The Chinese people's love affair with jad e is a long and unknown one. For five thousand years, Chinese have enjoyed wearing, collecting and appreciating jade. And Chinese craftsmen (手工艺者) have created a great number and variety of fine works in jade. Starting from Tuesday, an exhibition entitled "Romance of jade" opens at Beijing's Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City. And for many of the valuable stones, it’s a genuine (地道的) homecoming.
If these pieces of jade had feelings, they would probably be signing over the unusual cycle of life. After several hundred years of changing hands, including being shipped overseas, the art works have finally come home. For many pieces, their return is especially meaningful, since the Forbidden City was where they were originally housed. And this wouldn't have been possible without the efforts of one man.
Hong Kong billionaire and jade connoisseur(鉴定家) Tsu-Kwok Ho put together a collection of featuring 130 pieces of fine quality jade. While living abroad in the 1990s, the outstanding Hong Kong businessman became aware of the spread of Chinese cultural relics overseas. From then on, he tried every way to collect works of Chinese jade, going as far as very small and remote European cities, where some of the finest Chinese jade was to be found. And the art lover believes the Forbidden City is the place for the collections' first public exhibition outside Hong Kong.
With a worth believed to be in nine-figure in Hong Kong dollars, the 130 pieces date from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with many rare pieces from the imperial collection of the Qing Court. They're of super quality and craftsmanship, showing the high level of jade production during these last two imperial dynasties.
The "Romance of Jade" exhibition will remain in the Forbidden City till mid-December.
64. What is told about jade in the first paragraph?
A. Chinese have been using jade to tell love stories.
B. "Romance of Jade" is actually a kind of jade.
C. "Romance of Jade" is also called the Forbidden City.
D. Chinese have been jade lovers all the time throughout the 5 000 years.
65. By saying "it’s a genuine homecoming", the writer means that the valuable stones have come
to the place _____.
A. where they were born
B. where they're loved best
C. where they were originally kept
D. where they'll be kept properly
66.Some pieces of jade are said to have had an "unusual cycle of life" because they have
A. survived many different dynasties
B. witnessed lifestyles of various people
C. been marked with signs of damage
D. traveled here and there from hand to hand
67. We can learn from the passage that Tsu-Kwok Ho's collection _____.
A. mainly came from Europe
B. started about two decades ago
C has made him a lot of money D. has never been publicly shown before
D
Faced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead. But a recent survey has shown that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that-dreams.
The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll(民意调查) of 1 276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city, reported last Friday, showed 59. 78 percent of respondents (答复者) considered the possibility of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at the 'thinking' stage," it stated.
Respondents put the top reasons for a shortage of investment(投资) and a lack of business opportunity. They also listed lack of business experience and social networks, the need for advanced study and objections from family members as factors(因素) that stood in their way.
More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
Guo Bing, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he wanted to be his own boss last year. But he is looking for a job first. "If 1 fail to find a satisfying job, 1 would like to set up a company in exhibition services," Guo said.
The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures at a relatively low price. He is also confident that his English language skills c an help him do well in the industry.
"Social networking is an important factor leading to business success," Guo said.
Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation.
The university sets up a business guide team made of government officials and professionals. They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business. The parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone, the survey showed. "Once you win the support of your family, you have won half the battle," Guo ad ded.
68. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Graduates Can Only Dream of Being Boss
B. The Story of Guo Bing
C. The Ambitious Fresh Graduates
D. A Tough Job Market
69. Which of the following does NOT stop fresh graduates realizing their dreams of being
bosses?
A. Less skilled English language.
B. Their family members' objections.
C. The shortage of business experience.
D. The lack of business opportunity and investment.
70. In the view of Guo Bing, what is the key factor that makes fresh graduates dream of being
boss soon after graduation?
A. Their family don't support them.
B. Their social networking is not good.
C. There are not enough graduate jobs.
D. They want to achieve greater success.
71. Who is this article mostly intended for?
A. Those who want to be bosses.
B. Those who will graduate from university.
C. The officials who work in the government.

Celebrating sleep
World Sleep Day, observed on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common.
In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35 000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses,31. 6 percent were diagnosed with insomnia (失眠) and another 17. 5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia. In addition, 30. 7 percent of survey respondents reported vis iting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11. 6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.
Overall, the survey found that many people suffer from the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey's findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not
disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
Getting a good night’s sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.
