For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe(欧洲). In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things. 　Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made ＄100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through those channels. 　In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed (允许) more telepshopping. Other channels can open for telebusinesses, including(包括) the largest American teleshopping company and a 24－hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things. 　Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping “junk(垃圾)on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality(质量) of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quailty of the things on TV. 　The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. 72.By Teleshopping, people can look at the things_____. 　 A. on TV and then go to buy them 　　

B. on TV and then buy them by phone　

C. on the computer and then go to buy them

D. on the computer and then buy them by phone.

73. Some Europeans like teleshopping mainly because_____ . 　A.they can get cheaper things　 　B.they can buy things of good quality　

C.the traffic is heavy 　　　　　D.they can get better service

74. The phrase“ junk on the air” in the fourth paragraph stands for_____ . 　 A.goods of low quality introduced on TV 　 B.rubbish in the air 　 C.useless things in the sky 　 D.useless things produced in Europe 75. For the goods that the buyers can’t touch or see in person, the European teleshopping companies have to_____ . 　 A. lower their prices 　 B. put into more energy to sell them 　 C.make them more beautiful 　 D.send more workers to sell them

D

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think, so much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize(记忆) some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists before us didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all successful. They would ask many questions as they read. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment.
