Women have jumped ahead of me for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2011 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases(购买) were women.
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time . Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2011. They worried about credit card security（安全）, or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of ComScore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time. “It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more relia ble and more comfortable.” Hess said.
5. Which of the following statements is true?
A. More women shopped online than men during 2011 holiday season.
B. There were fewer women online shoppers than men during 2011 holiday season.
C. Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
D. People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
6. From the passage we can infer that ______________.
A. men usually decide how to spend money in the family
B. women usually decide what to buy in the family
C. the Internet is used in all the shops
D. more and more shops will sell their goods online
7. According to Dan Hess, shopping online ______________.
A. unsafe
B. convenient
C. is a waste of time
D. cheaper
8. What can we know from the passage?
A. American people only gifts in holidays.
B. Shopping online is fun for women.
C. Shopping off-line provides better serve.
D. Young people like to do gift-shopping online
C
Music is often thought as “easy” or “play time”, but it’s not that at all. Music plays a very important part in our education. Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school. This includes “modes(调式)”, which were used in churches during the development of music. They are still used today. Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written. They learn what the music was used for. So much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries. Music also helps with science. Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”, which is about how music is produced by vibration(颤动) and why. Students learn a lot about languages. Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music. Students learn a huge amount of coordination(协调) through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.
Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important works of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they’re playing the music. Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns(How can I make my part sound better? How do this music and these different parts fit together?). Students
have to know absolutely what every other musician does at all times. In that way, it develops teamwork. As one can see, music is very important to education besides bringing us fun.
9. Learning music is helpful to the following subjects EXCEPT____________.
A. science
B. language
C. politics
D. history
10. Students who learn music have to translate songs____________.
A. because they are learning the language
B. because they must understand what they are singing about
C. because the songs are ancient ones
D. because they are famous poems
11. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Modes are still used in modern music.
B. Different kinds of music show different cultures.
C. It’s easier for athletes to learn to play an instrument.
D. A good musician should know the importance of teamwork
12. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of music.
B. The importance of music education.
C. Ways to learn music well.
D. Skills music students should have.
D
One day an ant was drinking at small stream and fell in. She made desperate(adj.拼死的) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted(adj.精疲力竭的) was still bravely doing her best when a dove(鸽子) saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time. 16 Money I a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule.
1. Think ahead. The moments w hen I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 17
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 18 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. 19 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite (食欲)and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start . 20 A nd don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on
