A four-year-old girl is lying in the arm of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A few minutes ago,
a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq.
    Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food
and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the
capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same
size as their small bodies as they quickly left their home in Baghdad.
    All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down by the war. And they show
the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.
    In southern parts of the country,like the second largest city,Basra,the UN is working to repair the
damage(毁坏) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power
to work again , "said Geoffrey Keele , a UN spokesman.
    But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them
escape the sound of bombing.And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the
children, sometimes leading to death.
Nearly 50 % of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old. And 30% of them
are suffering(遭受) from malnutrition(营养不良).

1.From the first paragraph , we know that __________.

A. the girl in the doctor's arm is dead
B. the girl's mother is looking for her
C.the girl's mother was killed during the bombing
D. the text tells us nothing about her mother

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?_________.

A. There are bombings every day in Iraq.
B. Children ask for water and food from the American and British soldiers.
C. Children with big bags are leaving their homes for Baghdad.
D. Baghdad is the capital of Iraq.

3.The second sentence in Paragraph 3 means __________.

A. the Iraqi children pay much money for what they need
B. the Iraqi children are suffering a lot in the war
C.some people sell children at a terrible price
D. the young lives have been turned upside down

4.How much help is the UN giving to the Iraqi children?__________.

A. They are helping them return to school.
B. They are giving them enough food and drinks.

     Can you think of a country without paper? British former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, wanted to
change Britain into such a country. " Everyone in the country will be given his or her own website within
four years , " he said.
    After people have their own websites, they can do things on the Internet. For example, people can
"see" doctors on the Internet,and doctors can also answer them through the Internet; parents can learn
about their children' studies on the Internet. Also, teachers don't need to give them the report cards.
    This not only saves time,but also saves money. Many people won't need to go to their offices; they
can work at home. He also said that it would save billions of pounds a year. Most importantly, it is
especially good for the environment. The country will save a lot of paper if people do so many things
through the Internet. Saving paper can save a lot of trees.
If the plan is carried out, Britain will become the first country without paper. "I want Britain to be the
world leader in the digital economy. The digital company will create over 250, 000 jobs by2020,"
said Gordon Brown.

       In London, there has always been a main problem. In order to solve this problem, the government has

       In the mid 1990's, people started doing business on the Internet. There were two kinds of companies
then. First, there were traditional companies. They sold things in stores. Then,   there were Internet
companies. They didn't have a store, and they only sold things on the Net.
       Traditional companies didn't want to lose any business. Quickly, they made their own websites and
began selling things on the Net. These are the so-called"brick and click"companies (砖块点击公司).
Many stores are made of brick. And you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That's

businesses were losing much money. In 2000, many e-businesses went out of business.

know and trust (相信) their names. Their websites are easy to remember. These companies also have a
lot of experience. In a word, they know how to run a successful business.
In the world of e-commerce (商业), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will
brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.

3. What did the traditional companies do to keep their business?

air is too dirty to breathe (呼吸) and the rivers are too dirty to swim in or to take water. The roads and
the streets are full of people and buses. Cars usually move very slowly. Noise is terrible. A lot of people
do not have houses to live in. People must do something about these problems. We should do something
