It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device，and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.
Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.
Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!
There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line－ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.
When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies（快递公司）getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.
No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.
1.The underlined word leery means _________.
A. distrustful B. confident
C. hopeful D. disappointed
2.Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.
A. shopping freedom B. shopping convenience
C. Internet access D. Shopping security
3.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current online shopping?
A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal
B. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient
C. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable
D. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow
4.The following companies are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.
A. Internet companies
B. advertising companies
C. courier companies
D. credit card companies

Jack threw some papers on my desk and looked at me angrily.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he shouted and left.
“How dare he treat me like that?” I thought. I had just changed one long sentence, and correct grammar--- something I thought I was paid to do. In fact I had been warned. On the first day one of my workmates took me aside and reminded me of his temper. As the weeks went by, I came to look down on Jack.
One day Jack’s other papers left me in tears so I stormed into his office angrily.
“What?” he asked.
Suddenly I knew what I must do. After all, he earned it. “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it’s wrong for me to allow it to continue,” I said. Jack smiled nervously, “Susan, I make you a promise that I will be a friend. I will treat you as you should be treated, with respect and kindness,” he said. With these words, I left.
Jack avoided me the rest of the week, and never questioned my work again. I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note: “Hope your day is going great.” Over the next few weeks, Jack reappeared , but there were no more Jack’s papers. One year later I discovered I had breast cancer, and was scared. The statistics (统计数字) were not great for my long-term survival.
On the last day of my hospital stay, Jack came and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. “Tulips (郁金香) ,” he said. I smiled, not understanding. He cleared his throat. “If you plant them when you get home, they’ll come up next spring. I think you will be there to see them when they come up.” Tears clouded my eyes and I whispered: “Thank you.”Jack held my hands firmly, saying, “You are welcome. You can’t see it now, but next spring you will see the colors I picked out for you.”
I have seen those red and white striped（有条纹的） tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now. This past September the doctor declared me cured. At a moment when I was praying for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the right things. After all, that’s what friends do.
1.Jack was angry with the author because___________.
A. she pointed out his mistakes in public
B. she changed the contents of the papers
C. she read the papers without his permission
D. she corrected the papers without telling him
2.The author entered Jack’s office with the purpose of ________________.
A. telling him about the mistake he had made
B. comforting him for the mistakes he had made
C. saying sorry to him for their misunderstanding
D. telling him she wanted to make friends with him
3.Why did the author cry on the last day of her hospital stay?
A. She was afraid that she would die soon.
B. She was moved by Jack’s flowers and words.
C. She was pleased that Jack became a good man.
D. She was angry with Jack for what he did to her.

短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. 1. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon, and have identified three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation-for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. 2.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the others, chronic (the opposite of "temporary")usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. 3. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more.4..
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons. They are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease. 5.
A. It is very difficult to deal with.
B. What's more, temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
C. Although it can cause physical problems? such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
D. This kind of loneliness is not serious.
E. They don' t think they are in need of them.
F. People who experience it have problems socializing and becoming close to others.
G. They question their popularity.
