21、Americans are buying more products and services than ever before through the Internet.And experts say the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries.Online sales now represent as much as 10% of all retail sales in the United States.This has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal.
Lynne used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and stepdaughter.Other than food,90% of her purchases were made on her home computer.“I find that,by being able to go online,choose the things that I need,and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep,I eliminate all the driving,all the crowds,all the noise of that,and I usually get a better selection.”
There are a lot of people like her.Experts say American online shopping hit records in both November and December.57% of Americans have bought something electronically.Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business.Cornell University marketing professor Ed Melaughlin says they can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing,which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing.The stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship.Besides,some stores can please customers by offering to repair electronic products.
Bill Martin is the founder of Shopper Trak.His business helps stores learn about their customers.He said,“There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision,you know,that takes place.Often you need that last sense of‘Boy,this is exactly what I want’ before you are ready to part with money,and you can't always get that online.It's a rather cold process.”
While online shopping worries some business owners,the only worry for delivery services like FedEx and UPS is keeping up with the number of packages. UPS Manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at this time of year.UPS is so busy that it has filled 55,000 temporary worker positions during the holiday season.
【1】The example of Lynne is mentioned in the passage to show ________.

D. traditional stores find new ways to keep their customers loyal
【2】The underlined word “eliminate”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by“________”.

A. UPS has filled more worker positions than FedEx
B. business owners are concerned about delivery services
C. FedEx is keeping up with UPS on the number of packages
D. delivery services are facing more and more pressure from online sales
【4】The purpose of this passage is to tell us ________.
A. the challenge online owners are faced with
B. the challenge ecommerce causes to traditional sales
C. the difference between online sales and traditional sales

22、With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
【1】What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A.Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B.Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C.Living an active life and removing bad eating habits.
D.Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
【2】Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
A.A
B.B
C.C
D.D
【3】The author writes the passage to ______________
A.show people a social problem
B.provide facts for government
C.advise solutions to a problem
D.compare opinions with people
【4】The underlined word “diversified” in the first paragraph most probably means ________.
A.various
B.difficult
C.expensive
D.available
23、It’s a parent’s job to love and guide kids and most parents will do this as long as they live. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad. Here are some ways you can stay close, get along and build a strong relationship with your parents:
Spend time together. It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your mom or dad. 【1】 Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, ask your mom or dad to play with you.
Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mom or dad might not know that you’re having a problem. 【2】 If you don’t usually do this, it may sound funny at first. Try it and you’ll be glad you did.
Be kind. 【3】 You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help clean up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents might be so pleased that they’ll do a silly dance around the kitchen!
Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you.” 【4】 But it’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, and being warm, polite, and thoughtful.
【5】 You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.
A.Do your best at whatever you do.
B.Other families don’t follow the same pattern.
C.Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad.
D.Tell a parent when you’re sad or struggling with something.
E.And nothing invites communication like being asked a good question!
F.But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company?
G.Be a good listener.
