15．I have been using the Internet since I was five years old，when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me to the World Wide Web．
I've always felt like a master of the Internet world．AOL Instant Messaging，MSN，Gmail，Facebook，Myspace-I've got it all under control．I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time，until I was introduced to electronic commerce （e-commerce）：business on the Internet．
Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices．Others have hundreds of employees spread across five different continents．Have you ever heard of Amazon．com，Yahoo．com？
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon．com，or had a good deal on Steve Madden boots that were on sale at SteveMadden．com．Unfortunately for me，I continued my"e-commerce-less"Web-surfing，unaware（未意识到） of all the deals I was missing out on．
That is，of course，until my sister finally sold the idea to me．
"Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you，Katy？"I asked her one day．Strange envelopes had been put on our doorstep for weeks now，each one always addressed to my sister； and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their older siblings （兄弟姐妹）!
"Oh，it's the   stuff  I ordered online!"she answered．I watched speechlessly as she opened item after item．There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money----online or off!
"How much did all of this cost？"
"Oh，only about $15in all!"She said excitedly．"Everything on eBay is on sale!It's way better than going to the mall．"
I felt as if during my entire life，there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week，I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10percent of the publishing price．A few days later，I bought an iPod protector and a book or two through the wonderful eBay．com．

26．From the first two paragraphs we can conclude that the authorD．
A．had no experience using computer
B．thought surfing the Internet was a waste of time
C．only used the Internet to check e-mail
D．had no idea of what e-commerce is

A．Things bought on line．
B．People working in online shops．
C．Shops on the Internet．
D．People who do online shopping．
28．Why was the author surprised when she saw her sister's items？D
A．Because she had no knowledge of online shopping．
B．Because she did not like the stuff that her sister bought．
C．Because she thought her parents liked her sister more．
D．Because she had not thought her sister should buy so many things．
29．The underlined part of the sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the authorB．
A．wanted to go for a walk in her backyard
B．had never done online shopping before
C．was eager to open up an online shop
D．showed great interest in the Internet

6．Around twenty years ago I was living in York．Though I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree，I could not find satisfying work．

At first I got angry．Then it hit me-I had been giving all of my attention to what was going wrong with my life rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a list of fifty things I was happy with．Later，I decided to add more things to the list．That night there was a phone call for me from a lady who was a director at a large hospital．She asked me if I would give a one-day lecture on stress management to 200medical workers．I said yes．
My day there went very well，and before long I got a well-paid job．To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking that I completely changed my life．

3．"Ten years ago I could never have imagined I'd be doing this，"says Greg Pal，33，a former software executive．"I mean，this is essentially agriculture，right？But the people I talk to，especially the ones coming out of business school，think this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into．"
He means bugs．To be more accurate，the genetic（基因的） change of bugs---very，very small ones---so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchip or wheat straw，they do something extraordinary．They excrete （排泄） crude oil．
Unbelievably，this is not science fiction．Mr．Pal holds up a small cup of bug excretion that could，in theory，be poured into the tank of the big Lexus SUX next to us．Not that Mr．Pal was willing to risk it just yet．He gives it a month before the first vehicle is filled up with what he calls"renewable petroleum"．After that，he smiles，"It's a brave new world．"
Mr．Pal is a senior director of LS9，one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley．The company is not interested in using corn as material，given the much-advertised problems created by using food crops for fuel．Instead，different types of agricultural waste will be used according to whatever makes sense for the local climate and economy：wheat straw in California，for example，or woodchip in the south．
Are Americans ready to be putting genetically changed bug excretion in their cars？"It's not the same as with food，"Mr．Pal say．"We are putting these bacteria in a very isolated container．Their entire universe is in that tank．When we've done with them．they are destroyed．"
"Besides"，he says，"there is greater good being served．""I have two children，and climate change is something that they are going to face．The energy crisis is something that they are going to face．We have a collective responsibility to do this．"

"OK，Dad，"said his son．But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this，he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him．His son put it into his small pocket，took it out and looked at it every now and then．
