New economy online

People are talking about the “new economy”. It’s very different from the “old economy”.

In the old economy, people travel to walk. They buy things in stores. They use the post office, the fax and the telephone to send information. They see people face-to-face at their jobs or in stores. People get information from newspapers, radio, television, books and libraries.

In the new economy, people do business through the “net”, which is a connection of millions of computers everywhere in the world. In the new economy, workers often work at home. They can get information online. They can communicate with employers and co-workers by e-mail . Businesses have “virtual（虛擬的）stores”. They are websites on which customers can see the products. Business can sell to customers anywhere in the world.

In the new economy, people live a fast paced, convenient and colorful life. The whole world develops more quickly than before. But the new economy is double-edge sword(雙刃劍).Its disadvantage is also obvious. For example, the Internet has led to a huge increase in credit care(信用卡)cheating. Some illegal websites offer some cheap or banned(禁止的) goods or services. Online shoppers who enter their credit card information may never receive the goods they want to buy and their card information could even be for sale in an illegal website. So people in the new economy should be smarter and knowledgeable.

68.The cause of the differences between the new economy and the old economy is ______.

A. the change of people’s idea      B. the business people do

C. the use of the Internet          D. the change of people’s life

69.In the old economy, people can do the following things EXCEPT______.

A. getting information from books

B. communicating with friends by telephone

C. meeting people face to face

D. shopping online

70.“But the new economy is a double-edge sword.” in the last passage means______.

A. the new economy is as sharp as a sword

B. the new economy has advantages and disadvantages

C. the new economy is better than the old economy

D. both the new economy and the old economy have disadvantages

71.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. People can get all kinds of information on the Internet.

B. Telephone, radio, television, newspapers and so on will disappear in the new economy.

C. People in the new economy should have high quality.

    In 1909 an English newspaper offered ?? 1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful.

    One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.

    The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’ m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight  across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs (海關(guān)) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare(報(bào)關(guān))?” The officer demanded.

Bleriot was well known as a pilot because ____ .

   A. he was unusually brave

   B. he was quite rich

   A. He thought he could manage it easily.

   B. He wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel.

   C. He knew he only had a year to live.

   D. He had always been interested in flying.

Which of the following is NOT true?

   A. Latham became a pilot on the doctor’s advice.

   B. He was told he could live another year.

   C. His plane had some trouble.

   D. He was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking.

Pushing children too hard is a really big social problem that seems to be getting worse．Now we have 6-month-olds in music classes and swimming classes．Parents fear that if other children are attending these classes，they will be holding their own children back if they do not enroll，too．

    The other extreme，simply taking a laissez-faire approach and letting children do—or refuse to do—whatever they want，is not the answer either，of course．

    Dr Taylor emphasizes that parents need to push their children based on what is best for the children，not what is best for themselves．If children understand that an activity is in their best interests，then they will accept it, he finds．

    Dr Taylor and other family experts remain pessimistic about the possibilities for widespread social change．“The force of our popular culture，driven by money and superficial（表面上的） values，cannot be resisted，” he says．But change can take place at a“micro-level,” in families and schools．

    When changes do occur，the rewards can benefit everyone in the family．One mother supporting this new approach toward parenting mentions the advantages her family experienced after her children cut back on activities．“The biggest thing is that since we have done this，we are rested,” she says．“Not only are our kids rested，because they're not in a ton of stuff, but my husband and I are rested，because we're not driving them everywhere．We weren’t living in the moment when we were always busy．We were living by the schedule．The return on our investment of spending time together has been enormous．”

49．One of the reasons why parents push children so hard is that they________．

A．believe in early development in children  

B．a(chǎn)re too busy to take care of their children  

C．don't want their children to lag behind    

D．want to repeat what their parents did to them

50．The phrase“a laissez-faire approach”（in Line 1，Paragraph 2）most probably refers to______．

A．denying them what they need         

B．controlling children in a flexible way  

C．developing a keen interest in children    

D．letting children do whatever they want

51．The best way to encourage children to work hard is___________．

A．to make them believe it’s in their best interests

B．to consider the matter from parents' standpoint  

C．to emphasize the importance of hard work from time to time  

D．to make it interesting and enjoyable to them

52．The new approach toward parenting mentioned in the passage most likely refers to _______．

A．relieving children’s hard work and unnecessary activity  

B．resisting the superficial values of pop culture  

C．reducing more activity off their school schedule  

D．spending more time with their children
