global network has become more than just a tool but rather an important aid in everyday life.More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer:its on our mobile phones,in our cars and TV sets,in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the waves of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping.Both big and small,e-business websites have flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands.Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store(实体店)you can also buy online:from food and clothes to toys,no matter what youre looking for,youre bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse.You can use the Internet to find new suppliers,post buying requests or search for products and services.This revolution has affected brick and mortar business owners greatly.And what was their reaction?Theyve opened online stores to go hand in hand with their conventional business.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid?Are we going to start seeing ghostly,deserted Walmarts(沃尔玛)across the country?Probably not in the near future but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore.A trip to Walmart wastes time,burns gas.The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with enhanced(提高的)web capabilities have even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home.And as“Time is money”,this practice is lifesaving for people whowork two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-business will follow closely in its footsteps.Everything will become easier and less time consuming,leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life:the ones we love,our friends and hobbies.1.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A.The popularity of mobile phones.B.The great influence of the Internet.C.The importance of the

high-water stress.This means they are using almost all the water they have access to.Many are dry countries.Some waste much of their water.Some may currently use too much of their groundwater that
