It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device,and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools.But think about it for a moment.On the Internet,a big online company can be run by two guys out of their garage.So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a little leery of the security levels.

Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虚拟) shopping off the ground,and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.

Credit card companies,too,quickly saw the potential for Internet shopping,and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people.If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases,many credit card companies will happily refund(返还) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you.Now that’s buying power!

There are other bonuses for online shoppers,of course.No line-ups,for one.No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.

When shopping online,consumers can sit down,have a coffee,and wear their slippers,not have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale.Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier.And thanks to courier companies(速递公司)getting in on the act,you never need wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.

No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.

Published March 30, 2011)Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity might have a few mistakes—and Jake Barnett has set out to prove it.Between attending college classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and tutoring his fellow students, Jake is also working on a new theory about the creation of the universe.He happens to be 12 years old.

From an early age, Jake showed an extraordinary interest in stars.When he was 3, his parents took him to a space observatory.He tried to learn as much as he could about astronomy.Jake’s IQ measured remarkably high at 170.

As a baby, Jake was found out with Asperser’s syndrome, a form of autism (孤独症).Autism causes difficulties in communication and social abilities.People with autism may also have strong interests—like Jake’s interest in the stars at a young age.

The symptoms of autism can range from mild to extremely severe.Asperser’s is one of the milder forms of autism.Sometimes people with Asperser’s, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in science, music or art.

When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Asperser’s were worsening.He became quiet.And he was withdrawing from people.So a doctor recommended that Jake’s parents let him study more advanced subjects, like math and physics.

Jake’s mother asked an astronomy professor to let Jake sit in on his class.Now, Jake studies advanced sciences like electromagnetic physics at IUPUI.

But Jake thinks it’s important to have a normal life too.He likes to play Guitar Hero with his friends and watch science fiction movies.He also enjoys playing classical music on the piano.But for Jake, studying physics is the most important thing.Jake’s professor, John Ross, is working on getting a large sum of money for him to do research at the university.

Doctors have said Jake’s autism symptoms have lessened over time.Still, Jake proudly refers to himself as an “Aspy”, or someone with Asperser’s.In an interview with his university student newspaper, he said, “I think the autism is the reason I’m even at IUPUI.”

1.What did Jake want to do at IUPUI?

A. Get a degree in astronomy.

Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree-he wants to save a whole rainforest!

In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival.

Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.

Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.

Evan says everyone can help the planet-even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage… we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.

1.Evan started the group _______.

A. to help the poor B. to make himself well-known

C. to win the Barron prize D. to save the rainforest

2.How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?

A. About $4,500. B. About $850.

3.What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _________.

A. actions speak louder than words

B. we can all do something to protect the earth

C. we should learn to recycle from now on

D. a good beginning makes a good ending

4.What would be the best title for the passage?
