13．For most people，shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall．Soon，that will change．Electronic commerce （trade） is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices．There will，however，be a cost：protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder．Many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world．But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis or a new era of corporate self-regulation．
Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty．But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen．Even in a country where a clear rght to compensation exists，the on-line customer in Tokyo，say，can hardly go to New York to get a refund （退款） for a clothes purchase．
One answer is for government to cooperate more：to recognize each other's rules．But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules．And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful （稀有的） for sober countries to accept．There is，however，another choice．Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves．They do，after all，have a self-interest in doing so．
In electronic commerce，a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset．Governments，too，may compete to be trusted．For instance，customers ordering medicines on-line may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration； or they may decide that the FDA's  rules are too strict，and buy from Switzerland instea．
Customers will still need to use their judgment，but precisely because the technology is new，electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort．And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down．In this way，at least，the advent（出现） of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws，not more．
32．In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country，what could he do？D
A．Refuse to pay for the purchase．
B．Go to the seller and ask for a refund．
C．Appeal to consumer protection law．
D．Complain about it on the Internet．
33．In the author's view，businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic worldC．
A．international cooperation would be much more frequent
B．consumers could easily seek government protection
C．a good reputation is a great advantage in competition
D．it would be easy for consumers to complain

C．very slow
D．rather careless
35．According to the author，what will be the best policy for electronic commerce？A

11．Wrong Reasons for Going to College
A college education can be priceless．（31）A If any of these following factors had a big influence on your decision，you're probably right to second-guess yourself．
Because all your friends are going．
In only a few weeks'time，the whole friend group will be scattered to a half dozen different colleges in a half dozen different places．（32）C Friends will wonder what's wrong with you．
Because someone else expects it from you．
（33）F Or maybe，you're the kid that everyone is proud to believe will be the first to get there．It seems that for years everyone has just assumed that of course you'll go．It's become so much a part of the air you breathe that you've never stopped to consider whether you want to go or whether you're ready to go．
Because you don't know what else to do．
It's been tough to find even a summer job．You don't have an alternative plan．Everyone else is doing it．（see above）（34）G That is the lamest（无说服力的） of reasons to spend 20，000or more in the next year．
（35）D
Your uncle tells you that his one regret in life is that he didn't go to college．Others tell you that they could have gone so much farther in their career if only they had a college education．Whatever the story is，there are always people who regret decisions they've made．So this is not a persuasive reason for you to go to college．

A．But maybe in your heart you know that you are going for the wrong reasons．
B．Because you don't want to work．
C．Not to go will set yourself apart．
D．Because you are afraid you'll regret it if you don't go．
E．Everyone seems more excited than you are．
F．Perhaps you come from a family where everyone goes to college．
G．You think you might as well go to school．

10．Many people have a fear of public speaking．They try to avoid public speaking because they worry that they will lose their words，bore the audience or somehow make a fool of themselves．（36）Dyou may give a presentation in a class or a meeting．Or you'll give a toast at a wedding．Maybe you'll have to give an acceptance speech for some honor you've received．Follow these steps to satisfy your audience and get rid of your fear of speaking in public．

（39）AYou are not Jack Canfield or Tony Robbins．So，don't try to take on some caricture（滑稽模仿） of what you think a public speaker should be．Share your true personality with your audience．Don't pretend to be somebody you're not．

9．In spite of the advanced medical technology，many Americans have no ________ to the good health care for poverty．（　　）

8．It is really unbelievablethat the Korean drama Descendants of the Sun should be so popular．

7．Although Kobe Bryant retired last month，he is still acknowledged as one of the greatest basketball players in the world．

6．Henry was very generous to people who were in trouble while his wife was mean with money．

5．Are we too quick to blame and slow to praise？It seems that while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism，we are somehow unwilling to give others the warm sunshine of praise．
It's strange how mean we are about praising．Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept praise gracefully．Instead，we are embarrassed and ignore the words we are really so glad to hear．Because of this defensive reaction，direct praise is surprisingly difficult to give．
Do you ever go into a house and say，"What a tidy room!"Hardly anybody does．That's why housework is considered such a boring job．Shakespeare said，"Our praises are our wages．"Since so often praise is the only wage a housewife receives，surely she is worthy of praise．
Mothers know naturally that for children an ounce of praise is worth a pound of scolding．Still，we are unaware of children's small achievements and we seldom apply the rule．One day I was criticizing my children for quarrelling．"Can you never play peacefully？"I shouted．Susanna looked at me confused．"Of course I can，"she said．"But you don't notice us when we do．"
Teachers agree about the value of praise．"I believe that a student knows when he has handed in something above his usual standard，"writes a teacher，"and that he is hungry for a brief comment in the margin to show him that the teacher is aware of it，too．"
Behavioral scientists have done countless experiments to prove that people have a tendency to repeat an act which has been immediately followed by a pleasant result．In one such experiment，a number of schoolchildren were divided into three groups and given arithmetic tests daily for five days．One group was constantly praised for its previous performance； another group was criticized； the third was ignored．Not surprisingly，those who were praised improved dramatically．Those who were criticized improved，too，but not so much．And the scores of the children who were ignored hardly improved at all．Interestingly，the brightest children were helped just as much by criticism as by praise，but the less able children，who reacted badly to criticism，needed praise the most．
To give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort-perhaps a quick phone call to pass on good comments，or write an appreciative letter．It is such a small investment-and yet consider the results it may produce．We will not only bring joy into other people's lives，but also，very often，added happiness into our room．"I can live for two months on a good compliment．"said Mark Twain．

4．China's admiration of outstanding scholars has turned the well-preserved childhood home of TuYouyou，the Chinese pharmacologist who won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine，into a popular tourist destination．
Since it was announced on Monday that 84-year-old Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win the international prize，her former home in the old town of Ningbo，Zhejiang province，has attracted visitors，especially parents and their children-even though it is not open to the public．
The house，which is for sale，is part of a complex of 37traditional buildings，including several city-and district-level cultural relic preservation sites，that have been transformed into a high-end art and commercial zone．
Tu won the prize for developing a lifesaving malaria drug，artemisinin，a staple of traditional Chinese medicine，which has helped save millions of lives across the globe．
"There are continually parents taking their children，from infants in strollers to college students，to take photos in front of Tu's former home．Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock，"said a sales person surnamed Zhao，from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co．
Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei，who was on a trip to Ningbo，took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday．
"Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers．Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities is a way to inspire them to study harder，"Xu said．
Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012．
Tourists started visiting Mo's former home in rural Gaomi，Shandong province，in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize．Some even plucked the radishes planted in front of the house and carted away some bricks．
Another site that has become a bigger tourist attraction these days because of Tu's success is the Luofu Mountain scenic area in Huizhou，Guangdong province，where Ge Hong，a TCM master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty （AD 317-340）picked herbs，developed herbal medicines and wrote the classic Manual of Clinical Practice and Emergency Remedies．
After winning the Lasker Award in the United States in 2011，Tu said she and her team were inspired by Ge's theory to solve the puzzle in getting artemisinin（青蒿素） from the herb Artemisia annual，also known as sweet wormwood．
A garden and a monument on Luofu Mountain celebrate Ge's dedication．The mountain is home to 3，000species of plants，including more than 1，200with medicinal uses．
