Its business-to-business site, A allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibabas advantage wasnt hard to identify size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a yearand Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its marketsnot charging small sellers a percentage of the sale. If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “Youre looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ” my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began. Alibabas original business-to-business model now is secondary to(对说是次要的) consumer buying. Chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of Alibabas profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. TM is Alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices. What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shoppingbig-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao. I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive(广大) the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. Im not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teachers iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.21. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Alibaba B. a new store C. a business D. a foreign website22. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The authors Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.C. Alibabas business-to-business service earns more money than retail now. D. TM provides more profit than Taobao.23. What is the passage mainly about?A. Shopping online is TaoBao.B. Alibaba greatly influences peoples daily purchase in China.C. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.D. How the author purchases online in China. 24.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage refer to?A. Alibaba acts as a bridge between buyers and sellers.B. Alibaba will continue to develop.C. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.D. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites. B Our children feel stressed out by an educational system that actually uses stress as an educational technique. It's a constant pressure of homework deadlines，essays and exams. And our children are told at a young age that failing a test means that they are failures in life. They'll end up nowhere if they don't pass this or that exam. Our educational system is based on a very Western idea that life is a struggle and you'd better measure up. It's survival of the fittest. While there is some truth to this，not as much as people think. Our ancestors didn't develop a constant stress environment. Back then，stress came quickly and was over quickly，it wasn't like the stress of modern education. Stress was originally just a short­term biological response to danger；however，the constant stress of modern education rarely stops. It's long term，at least ten years and usually more. Recent research has shown that the neurological(神经系统的)response to stress is the same response that is found in depression. So，what's the solution? A number have been proposed，including but not limited to the following. _.Exercise consumes energy that would otherwise build up in the stress response and could cause physical and mental problems. Teach relaxation exercises. Allowing the mind and body to relax cuts off the stress response and reduces the neurological fatigue(疲惫)，enabling the individual to recover at least somewhat. Pay attention to thinking. Training the stressed student to pay attention to his or her own mind to a point where he or she is sufficiently aware to shut off the stress response when necessary. Of course，there's a logical answer to the problem. Just rearrange our teaching methods to encourage，rather than prevent，the natural curiosity and joy in learning that we are all born with. This would remove the stress and probably cut learning time in half.25What is the main idea of the passage? AGetting rid of the modern education. BHelping children live a happy life. CDealing with stress in modern education. DTaking measures to learn at school.26How did our ancestors treat education? AThey believed education could bring the best out. BThey felt education could bring short­term stress. CThey thought education was the only way to success. DThey knew the importance of good education.27Which of the following is the best for the blank? ATry to save energy as much as possible. BQuite a few children avoid exercise. CMake sure that kids get exercise. DSet a few limits to your physical activities.28If you are a teacher in a high school, _. Ayou should leave students in a good mood Byou should ignore the stressed student Cyou should relax yourself as far as possible Dyou should stick to your teaching methodsCFive Booming Careers in Health Care Loving what you do is great，but knowing your career will be there tomorrow is even better.

In fact they value achievement and happiness above all else. The Making Caring Common Project at Harvards Graduate School of Education surveyed 10,000 middle and high school students about which is more important to themachievement, happiness, or caring about others. Almost 80 percent of students placed achievement or happiness over caring about others. Only 20 percent of students considered caring about others as their top aim. In the study “The Children We Mean to Raise The Real Message Adults Are Sending about Values”, the authors refer to a reality gap, an incongruity (不一致) between what adults tell children they should value and the message we grown-ups actually send through our behavior. Simply talking about sympathy is not enough. While 96 percent of parents say they want to raise caring children, and cite the development of moral character as “very important, if not essential”, 80 percent of the youths surveyed reported that their parents “are more concerned about achievement and happiness than caring about others”. Approximately the same percentage of the students reported that their teachers put their achievement over caring. As the report shows, simply talking about sympathy is not enough. Children are sensitive creatures, fully capable of telling th
