It started in January 1994 when two California graduate students, Jerry Yang and David Filo, started compiling (编译) a database of links, mainly for their per-sonal use. But well before the end of the year, it had become recognizable as Yahoo we know today. In the past seven years, Yahoo had grown rapidly, partly through a long string of buy. Yahoo now offers almost eve-rything you could want: e-mails, instant mes-sages, chats, clubs, photo albums and a lot more.

eBay Enables Everyone to Buy and Sell

　　eBAY (www. ebay. com), which deals with online trading and shopping services, is the most impressive large Internet company where people buy and sell goods and services worldwide.

The company's online service permits sellers to list items for sale, buyers to bid on items of interest, and eBay users to browse (浏览) through listed items that is available online seven days a week.

Amazon Makes Buying a New Experience

It continued to add new lines of busi-ness including toys, computer software, elec-tronics, like MP3 players, power tools, home improvement products and online sales. For regular users, Amazon has made itself the shortest possible path between wanting and buying.

As a human being you may have the choice of three basic attitudes towards life. You may treat life with the philosophy (哲学) of the vegetable, in which case your life will include being born, eating, drinking, sleeping, marrying, growing old and dying.

The second basic attitude is to look at life as if it were a business. A great many so-called successful men and women believe that life is a business. If you believe so, your first question of life, naturally, is " What do I get out of it? " " How much is this worth to me?" In a word, based on this attitude, happi??ness becomes a matter of successful competition. The great ma??jority of human beings today look at life as if it were a busi??ness.

The third attitude toward life is the way of the artist. Here the basic philosophy is "What can I put into it?". They value cooperation and contribution. This point of view has been proved by history; for history remembers best those who have contributed most richly to the interests of their fellow-men. The more we investigate(调查),the more we become certain that the artistic attitude is the only one which goes with human happiness.

5. From the passage we know people who take the second life attitude ________.

A. are mostly businessmen B. think of getting the interests (利益) first

C. find their happiness from hard work D. take competition as their whole life

A. those living on vegetables B. successful men

C. artists D. businessmen

A. some people are living only on vegetables

B. the artistic attitude is accepted by most people

C. the writer prefers the third life attitude
