         What is Bay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade
    practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods. Including cars, movies and
    DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes-the list goes on and on.
         The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was
    still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from
    Tuft University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started
    Bay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of' mouth. By 1996 there was so much
    traffic on the website that he had to upgrade (升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a
    friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the
    great. com crashes of the late 1990s, abay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most
    visited online shopping websites on the Intemet.
         EBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to
    do is lake an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business:the world is your market
    place. Of course for each item (商品) sold eBay gets a percentage and that is great deal of money. Every day
    there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

    [     ]
    A. a way of buying and selling goods
    B. a website for them to upgrade
    C. a place to exhibit their own photos
    D. a chance to buy things at low prices
    2. Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university?
    [     ]
    A. For fun.
    B. To make money.
    C. For gathering the engineers.
    D. To fulfill a task of his company.
    3. From "he has never looked back" in Paragraph 2, we learn that Peter _____.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
