A few years ago, David had the idea of selling CDs over the Internet. He started his work from his home. Now he sells over 500,000 CDs a year and has made himself into a millionaire(百万富翁), at the age of 24.
“I could see that this was the future of shopping,” says David. “Why should you pay $15 for a CD and spend the time and the money going into the shop? You know sometimes you have to find a place for your car too. You can have the same CD for half of the price by clicking on your computer. And we can find any CD you want and bring it to your door in 24 hours!”
David said this is the only beginning, “One day we’ll do our shopping over the Internet: it’s easier, quicker and cheaper. Shops and supermarkets will be the past.”
【小题1】How has he become a millionaire?

完形填空

　　My work keeps me in Hong Kong most of the year, but I try to get away for a month in summer, usually in July. Now as you probably know, that's the main 1 season in Europe. The favourite places for holidays and the famous cities are usually very 2 . But I'm not seeking (寻求) the sun--I can get lots of 3 in Hong Kong--and I'm certainly not seeking the crowds！ So when I 4 holiday, I buy a Train Pass (a kind of train ticket) that allows me first-class travel on most of the railways of Western Europe. First-class compartments are 5 crowded and they are very comfortable. If you're going on overnight 6 , you can take a sleeping train for an extra charge. There are usually dining cars(餐车)in the train.

　　I find that train travel is restful and 7 . There's always 8 to see. .I particularly (特别地) enjoy 9 through Switzerland and Italy. You can get a very good 10 of what a country is like from a train; you don't' go too fast and you stop quite often. Also train travel is very 11 , and I am never sick on a train as I am on a ship. Then there are always people to 12 if you feel like a chat(闲谈).

　　The reason that I seldom (很少)travel by plane is quite 13 because train stations are usually built in the centre. I don't have to 14 transport(运输工具); transport can be a problem when arriving by 15 .
