A four-year-old girl is lying in the arm of a doctor. She has just become motherless. A few minutes ago,
a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq.
    Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food
and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the
capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same
size as their small bodies as they quickly left their home in Baghdad.
    All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down by the war. And they show
the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.
    In southern parts of the country,like the second largest city,Basra,the UN is working to repair the
damage(毁坏) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power
to work again , "said Geoffrey Keele , a UN spokesman.
    But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them
escape the sound of bombing.And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the
children, sometimes leading to death.
Nearly 50 % of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old. And 30% of them
are suffering(遭受) from malnutrition(营养不良).

1.From the first paragraph , we know that __________.

A. the girl in the doctor's arm is dead

C.the girl's mother was killed during the bombing
D. the text tells us nothing about her mother

A. There are bombings every day in Iraq.

     Can you think of a country without paper? British former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, wanted to
change Britain into such a country. " Everyone in the country will be given his or her own website within
four years , " he said.
    After people have their own websites, they can do things on the Internet. For example, people can
"see" doctors on the Internet,and doctors can also answer them through the Internet; parents can learn
about their children' studies on the Internet. Also, teachers don't need to give them the report cards.
    This not only saves time,but also saves money. Many people won't need to go to their offices; they
can work at home. He also said that it would save billions of pounds a year. Most importantly, it is
especially good for the environment. The country will save a lot of paper if people do so many things
through the Internet. Saving paper can save a lot of trees.
If the plan is carried out, Britain will become the first country without paper. "I want Britain to be the
world leader in the digital economy. The digital company will create over 250, 000 jobs by2020,"
said Gordon Brown.

D. After people have their own websites, people can do nothing on the Internet.

       In the mid 1990's, people started doing business on the Internet. There were two kinds of companies
then. First, there were traditional companies. They sold things in stores. Then,   there were Internet
companies. They didn't have a store, and they only sold things on the Net.
       Traditional companies didn't want to lose any business. Quickly, they made their own websites and
began selling things on the Net. These are the so-called"brick and click"companies (砖块点击公司).
Many stores are made of brick. And you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That's
where the name"brick and click"comes from.
       By the late 1990's, competition among Internet companies was great. So e-business like amazon.
com, buy.com, and etoys.com were in trouble. Their profits (利润) were not very high. Many of these
businesses were losing much money. In 2000, many e-businesses went out of business.
       Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and Walmart so successful? First, many customers
know and trust (相信) their names. Their websites are easy to remember. These companies also have a
lot of experience. In a word, they know how to run a successful business.
In the world of e-commerce (商业), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will
brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.

3. What did the traditional companies do to keep their business?

4. What gave Internet companies a lot of trouble by the late 1990's?

     The world is divided into(被分为) two important parts. One half of the world is rich and the other
half is poor. In the poor part, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the rich part, a lot of people eat
too much. In one part, children are hungry and in the other, a lot of people are fatter and fatter and have
to go on diets or do some exercise to lose weight. For example, a dog or a cat in North America eats
better than a child in the poorer countries.
     The poor countries have some difficult problems. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow anything
on. The land can get better, but people have to do a lot of things first. More experts (专家) should go
there to teach people how to enrich their land and how to find water.
     But rich countries have problems, too. They are not always pleasant places to live in. Sometimes the
air is too dirty to breathe (呼吸) and the rivers are too dirty to swim in or to take water. The roads and
the streets are full of people and buses. Cars usually move very slowly. Noise is terrible. A lot of people
do not have houses to live in. People must do something about these problems. We should do something
to make the air and the rivers clean and build more houses. But it will take a long time.
