摘要： What can we know from the passage? A. American people only gifts in holidays. B. Shopping online is fun for women. C. Shopping off-line provides better serve. D. Young people like to do gift-shopping online. D Ever thought you'd get to experience the smell of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra's hair, or the scentof the sun? Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that. The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition, If There Ever Was. It focuses on scent rather than sight. The innovativeidea is the brainchild of curatorRobert Blackson. His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation. The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they're not actually made from them. A smell can often conjure upmemories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won't have been able to pick out before. "There's a whole variety of different smells, including some extinctflowers," explains Blackson. "Some have been gone for hundreds of years. " One extraordinary fragranceis the aftermathof the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August 6, 1945. There is also the smell of Cleopatra's hair, based on incensethat was popular among ancient Egyptians. The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charredmaterial(the space station caught fire). Among the stranger smells is the "surface of the sun". "It is hard to sum up. It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in," says Blackson. "It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal. If you can say something smells hot, this is it. " A team of 11, including perfumedesigners, have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition. James Wong, a botanist at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants. He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones. With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the aromas. The exhibition runs until June 6. Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display.

Women turn to online shopping

Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.

For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.

“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.

Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.

Users were more likely to shop online to save time . Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.

However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004. They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.

“But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of ComScore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time

“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.

60. Which of the following statements is true?

There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004.

Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.

People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.

More women shopped online than men in 2004.

61. From the passage we can infer that ______________.

men usually decide how to spend money in the family

women usually decide what to buy in the family

the Internet is used in all the shops

more and more shops will sell their goods online

62. According to Dan Hess , shopping online ______________.

A. is unsafe B. is convenient C. is a waste of money D. is cheaper

63. What can we know from the passage?

A. American people only gifts in holidays.

B. Shopping online is fun for women.

C. Shopping off-line provides better serve.

D. Young people like to do gift-shopping online.
