12.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 only two guys in their garage.So it is only reasonable then,that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.
  Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虚拟的)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 online 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(退还)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 having to worry about their hair or parking,and just clicking through sale after sale.Comparison shopping couldn't be any easier.And thanks to courier companies(快递公司)getting in on the act,you never need to 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.

My heart(38)C for a long time after we went away.Mother must have noticed I wanted to see her,(39)A she would take my (40)D and me back to visit my Granny sometimes.I know Granny loved us.(41)C it was something you could feel with your (42)D.She didn't live in a fancy(豪华的) house or have (43)B things,but I never cared.

3.A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl,I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers.It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling(31)Bin your life.Little did I know you were(32)Aevery penny you earned to go to(33)Cschool.
I cannot thank you enough for(34)Ayou told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine.After finishing my homework,I wanted to go into the dining-room where you were buried(35)Dpiles of law books.I was(36)C.Why were you doing what I do-memorizing textbooks and studying for(37)B?When you said you were in law school,I was more puzzled.I didn't know.Moms(38)Dbe lawyers too.You smiled and said,"In life,you can do anything you want to do."
As young as I was,that statement kept (39)A in my ears.I watched as you faced the (40)C of completing your studies,starting companies with Dad,while still being a (41)D and a Mom of five kids.I was exhausted just watching you (42)B.With your words of wisdom in my (43)C mind,I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream.My whole world (44)D.I set out to live my life filled with (45)A,seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto.I (46)A found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) (47)C  one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field.I gained strength every time I said,"Yes,I'll try that."
Encouraged by your (48)B,I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life's journey,less afraid to make mistakes,and (49)D meeting each challenge.You did it,and now I'm (50)A it.Sorry,got to run.So much to do,so many dreams to live.
