Ask any student to say one thing they know about Charles Dickens, and it is very likely they will say Oliver Twist. His classic tale of a poor orphan boy strikes at the heart of all those who have ever wanted "more", as Oliver did.

And now, Dickens' classic scenes of the lives of the Victorian British poor will appear in a big screen movie, "Oliver Twist," an adaptation of his classic tale directed by Roman Polanski.

The new film is not meant for younger viewers, and is meant for children over 13. For those old enough to enjoy it, however, the film shows just how long people have been enjoying Dickens' remarkable literature. His short stories and essays began appearing in magazines in 1833. "Oliver Twist" was published in 1837 - more than 165 years ago.

"Oliver Twist" tells the story of an orphan forced to live in a workhouse headed by the awful Mr Bumble, who cheats the boys who work there out of their already low pay. Oliver decides to escape to the streets of London, where he meets a thief called Fagin, played by Sir Ben Kingsley, who leads him into a world of crime. Several of Dickens' books have been made into films and television series, including 2002's "Nicholas Nickleby" and 2000's "David Copperfield." And several versions of "A Christmas Carol" have entertained audiences for years.

In his novels, Dickens wrote about several important issues. He talked about the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1824 in "Oliver Twist"; the French Revolution in "A Tale of Two Cities"; and helping the poor in "Hard Times.” One of Dickens' best-known books is the first Christmas book he wrote - "A Christmas Carol" (1843), about a mean man.

We thought this would be a good time to take a look at the man behind the words and see what kind of experiences helped shape and affect one of the best — known writers of all time.

It is "one of the few bright spots in the Chinese economy," says Zeng Ming.He is talking about e-commerce.Mr Zeng, the chief strategy officer for Alibaba, a giant Chinese Internet firm, predicts that digital transactions on his firm's platforms will top l trillion yuan($159 billion)this year-more than Amazon's and eBay's combined.That is a bold claim, but consider what happened on Singles Sunday.

Invented a few years ago by students and seized upon by digital marketers, this festival for lonely hearts falls annually on the llth day of the llth month (since l is the loneliest number).It is like St Valentine's Day, only worse.Singletons shower each other with tender gifts: a barrage of pearls; a storm of sweets.

This November llth they spent a surprising 19 billion yuan on Alibaba's online platforms ----- a fourfold increase on a year ago, and more than double what Americans spent online last Cyber Monday(the Monday after Thanksgiving, when retailers urge Americans to shop online).About 100m purchases were logged, accounting for 80% of the packages shipped that day.Couriers(怏递员) were buried in parcels.

So life is good for China's e-tailers, then? Not exactly.The number of digital marketers is increasing and online sales are booming.Consumers are enjoying lower prices, better service and more variety.The problem? The pressure on profits in Chinese e-commerce is worse than in America, reckons Elinor Leung of CLSA, a broker. "Almost no one makes money," she says.

The fiercest battles are being fought between online retailers and their bricks-and-mortar(实体的) rivals.Dangdang, a firm, that resembles Amazon,and 360buy, another online retailer, have cut prices fiercely. Tencent, a cash-rich online giant known for its instant-messaging software, is splashing out to win market share.360buy has also just raised $400m from investors to do the same.But it is unclear how much longer such firms can burn through capital.

1.What's the best title of this passage?

A.The Ambition of Alibaba

B. Fierce Competition between Retailers

C. A Newly Sprung Festival for the Singles

D. Chinese Booming and Developing E-commerce

2.According to Zeng Ming, this year Alibaba will .

A. outweigh Amazon and eBay in worldwide influence

B. rank top among all the Internet firms

C. have more than 159 billion dollars' sale

D. create another sales miracle just like the one on Singles Day

3. How many packages were shipped on November ll th from Alibaba's online platforms?

A. About 80 million. B. About 100 million.

C. About 125 million. C. About 180 million.

4.What's the author's attitude towards online retailers in China?

A. Optimistic. B. Concerned.

C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent.
