Online shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men 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 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those shopping online 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 surprising 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 2013. 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(促销) tools for stores, ” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network 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 reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.
1.Which of the following statements is true?
A. There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2013.
B. More women shopped online than men in 2013.
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.
2.What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean ?
A. 关闭 B. 推迟 C. 匆忙 D. 起飞
3.According to Dan Hess, shopping online ______.
A. is unsafe B. is convenient
C. is a waste of money D. is cheaper

Dear Barbara，
How are you? Today I’ve got a wonderful news to tell you．I have admitted to Berkely school in California．More than 3000 students took exams for it，but only a few was chosen and I was one of them．Therefore，my parents are not happy about it．They are strong against me going there．They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid of I will feel homesick．They can’t imagine so young a girl like me live alone．They advise me to choose a university near my home instead．Then I would be able to continue living with them．How can I persuade them to accept the fact what I have grown up?
Yours Faithfully
Jane Blair

On a stormy day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls（回忆）. “I’m trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let’s aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.
“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.
1.Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A. To go boat rowing.
B. To get back their football.
C. To swim in the open water.
D. To test the umbrella as a sail.
2.What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The beach B. The water
C. The boat D. The wind
3.Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A. To take in enough fresh air.
B. To consider turning back or not.
C. To check his distance from the boys.
D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
4.How can the two boys finally reach the pier?
A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
1.How did the author get to know America?
A. From her relatives. B. From books and pictures.
C. From her mother. D. From radio programs.
2.Upon leaving for America the author felt_______.
A. confused B. worried
C. excited D. amazed
3.For the first two years in New York, the author _________.
A. studied in three different schools
B. did not think about her future
C. often lost her way
D. got on well with her stepfather
4.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
A. She helped her family with her English.
B. She attended a lot of job interviews.
C. She paid telephone bills for her family.
D. She worked as a translator.
5.The author believes that______.
A. her future will be free from troubles
B. good things will happen if one keeps trying
C. there are more good things than bad things
D. it is difficult to learn to become patient
