For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now, teleshopping is starting in Europe. 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 $20 million a year to buy things through those channel.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including teleshopping companies. German businesses arehoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because they can 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 of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they can’t be sure about the quality 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 have to work harder to sell things that buyers can’t touch or see in person.
In which country people can go teleshopping
American and all the European countries.
Australia and some European countries
The USA and some many European countries.
America and many developed countries

Why do people like the idea of teleshopping
Because they like watching TV
Because they can do some shopping at home
Because they like the heavy traffic
Because they have no time to do shopping
Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraph
European companies must be different from the American companies.
European companies must raise the quality of the things they sell.
European companies must work harder to sell things.
European companies must let the buyers touch or see in person

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet system was set up in the 1960s. at that time, computers were large and puter networks didn’t work well. When one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient. Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.

My son Joey was born with club feet(畸形足). The doctors said that with treatment he would be able to walk, but would never run very well. The first three years of his life was 1 in hospital. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he has a problem when you saw him 2 .
Children in our neighbourhood always ran around 3 their play, and Joey would jump, run and play, 4 . We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be 5 to run like the other children. So he didn’t know.

Computer games are just fun. I have been playing them for years, and I have become really good at it. Some of my classmates think that I’m quite special. What’s so special about that
One day I was having lunch at school. Suddenly a girl I didn’t know came and sat next to me. “What do you for fun ” She ‘asked. “I am a gamer,” I said in a low voice. “A gamer!” She couldn’t believe what I was saying and she burst into laughter, with all the apple pie out of her mouth.
Most people think gaming is suitable for boys, but not for girls. Maybe I should cut my hair short and change my actions so that I look like a boy.
In fact, most boys don’t feel there is anything wrong with my hobby. I have met many boy gamers--some online and some face to face. None of them think badly about me being a girl gamers. I have made some good friends with them.
Playing computer games is also a kind of relaxing. I don’t know why people strange about girls who play games. Girls who play games do it for the same reason as boys do: it’s something fun to do in your spare time.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now, teleshopping is starting in Europe. 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 $20 million a year to buy things through those channel.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including teleshopping companies. German businesses arehoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because they can 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 of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they can’t be sure about the quality 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 have to work harder to sell things that buyers can’t touch or see in person.
In which country people can go teleshopping

Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing(偷)”
Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on piece of “land” and “grow” “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables” “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net. They can make some e-money and buy more “seeds(种子)” “pets” and even “houses”.
Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their ideas.
Harold: I don’t quite understand why they are so crazy about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident(信心的) enough to face the real world.
Allan:I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.
Laura:You know, people in the city want to live in the countryside very much. It reduces my work pressure(压力); what’s more, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief(小偷)”.
Ivy:Well. It’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not focus on(专注于) their study.

When one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient. Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending emails is more and more popular among students.
