If you come from a poor family and couldn’t go to a good school, could one book change your life? It did for Srinivasa, a bright young Indian boy. When he was 15 years old, he found a book about math. It was a book with 6,000 very difficult problems. While his friends played football on the road in front of his house, he worked out the answers to these problems. He answered them all by himself – without any help from anyone else. Then he thought of new problems and answered them too. Soon he was better at math than all of his teachers. A year later, Srinivasa was invited to study at university, even though he was really too young. However, he failed most of his exams. Why? Because he was only interested in math and didn’t care enough about his other subjects. He wrote about his ideas and sent his work to magazines. A British mathematician read his work and started writing letters to him. Later, he invited Srinivasa to go to England to study and work. In England, people didn’t care whether he was good at other subjects or not. By the time he was 30. Srinivasa, a poor boy who liked math better than playing football, had become one of the world’s most famous mathematicians.

Shopping on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Why do people use the Internet to shop? Some people say it is more convenient. They don’t have to leave their homes to order something; they can shop for anything they want at any time; they can find things for sale that they can’t find in the stores near their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.
If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit(信用) card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website(網(wǎng)頁) and send them to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don’t want someone to get your credit card number, so be careful with it, beause people sometimes steal(竊取) credit card numbers from stores.
The Internet is also a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you look at the things for sale in a store, but don’t plan to buy anything. In window-shopping you can see what kinds of things you are able to get and how much they cost. Some stores like Ross Stores have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores, and can shop on-line there, such as Office Depot, Payless Shoe Source, Safeway. Some stores like Amazon. com are only for on-line shopping.
【小題1】 Some people use the Internet to shop because ________.
A．they can sleep all day longB．they want to leave their homes
