        In the mid 1990s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in shops. Then, there were Internet companies which didn't have shops; they sold things only over the net.

        Traditional companies didn't want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own website and began selling things over the net. These are the so-called "brick and click" companies. Many shops are made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That's where the name "brick and click" comes from.

        By the late 1990s, e-businesses like Amazon.com and Buy.com were in trouble. Their profits were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money, and in 2000, many e-businesses went out of business.

        Why are "brick and click" companies, like Barnes & Noble, Toys "R" Us, and Walmart so successful? First, many customers know and trust their names. Their websites, like walmart.com, are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. They know how to run a successful business.

        In the world of e-commerce, companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will "brick and click" companies win the war? Only time will tell.

      A . A clothing company with no website. B . A bookseller with five shops and an Internet site. C . A video seller with a big website but no shops. D . A restaurant.

      A . They went out of business. B . They created websites. C . They bought Internet companies. D . They sold their computers.
    3. (3) People like buying things from "brick and click" companies because ___________.

        Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man's new best friends.

        What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue (援救) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small space. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

        How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.

        Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. "Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that," says a scientist. Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity.

        The "rat project" is not finished, but a scientist says, "It would be fantastic. A rat could get into space we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe." Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).

    1. (1) In the writer's opinion, rats will become man's best friends because they can__________.
      A . serve as food for people B . help rescuers to find living people C . be lovely D . completely replace man in many rescue jobs
    2. (2) What does the underlined word "this" refer to?
      A . An earthquake. B . The rat has smelt a person. C . The rat's brain activity jumps. D . The rat has found a robot.
    3. (3) Which of the following is NOT true?
      A . Rats don't need electricity. B . Rats are better than robots when smelling. C . Rats are as clever as robots. D . Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.
    4. (4) Why does the "rat project" sound great according to the passage?
      A . Because rats can get into very small space. B . Because rats have better noses than dogs. C . Because rats don't look like robots. D . Because rats are very brave.
    5. (5) Which is the best title for this passage?
      A . Ways of saving people B . Rats and robots C . After an earthquake D . Rats for rescue

        Once a lonely girl was in great need of love. One day while she was walking in the woods, she found two dying birds.

        She cared for the birds with love and they grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.

        One day the girl left the cage open. The girl was frightened that it would fly away. As the bird flew close, she caught it rudely. Her heart felt glad at her success in catching it.  Her love had killed the bird.

        She noticed the other bird moving around on the edge(边) of the cage. She could feel its great need for freedom. It needed to return to the clear, blue sky. She took out the bird from the cage.  The bird flew in a circle once, twice, three times.

       The girl felt the bird's enjoyment. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder(肩膀).
