16、h convenience.Michael Aldrich（the UK）Online shopping was invented and pioneered by Michael Aldrich in the UK.In 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 signif
17、icant world firsts with new applications in several business fields.Jeff Bezos（the USA）Jeff Bezos defined online shopping and rewrote the rules of commerce.Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web server and browser（浏览器）in 1990.In 1994, Jeff Bezos read an article about how the World Wide Web was
18、growing by 2,300 percent a year.He knew he had to tap into such a great potential for commerce. On July 6, 1995, Bezos launched A, 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 expan
19、ded into dozens of product categories, forcing the worlds 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
20、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. Alibabas model was simple:allow small and medium-sized Chinese companies to find global buy
21、ers they would otherwise only be able to meet at trade shows. It works brilliantly.

23、ct categories.D.They have contributed to online shopping.BAn 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 rep
24、lied:“Im going to walk where I like. Weve 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 elses way and nobody would
25、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
26、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 elses liberty, of course, I m
27、ay 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.

30、does the underlined word “qualified” (Paragraph 3) mean?A. Limited.B. Ruined.C. Improved.D. Educated.C 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 st
31、udent 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 Univer
32、sity 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.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard
33、 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 Citys private companies which fund new
34、businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mints directors and won their support. Mint has committed around 500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlops business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before
35、 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 fe
36、stival-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
37、year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.28“Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents .A. economically desirable B. fav
38、orable to the environmentC. for holding music performances D. designed for disaster relief29. Mr. Dunlop established his business .A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the Citys administrationC. in p

41、cess of a graduation project D. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivalsDSports 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 pub
42、lic, 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 progr
43、ams, 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 c
44、ommercial 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
45、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 certain advertisers. It is
46、made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networ
47、ks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.3

As their health becomes worse, the elderly in these cultures often move to old peoples homes and nursing homes.In France, parents are protected by law.
