Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction（網(wǎng)上拍賣(mài)）.
Buying for Beginners
Sign up on www. eBay. co. uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出價(jià)) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.

How to Pay
Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.
Selling Made Simple
If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big Things in Life
It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
小題1:What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to make payment online.B．Ways of making delivery online.
C．Advantages of an online auction system. D．How to use an online-auction system.
小題2:After bidding for an item, a buyer ________.
A．has chances to make higher bidsB．will get what he wants in ten days
C．should make payment immediatelyD．may check its picture and description
小題3:The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is ________.
A．through a local banking systemB．by sending the money to the seller
C．by paying the deliveryman directlyD．through an online payment system
          
小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:D

小題1:主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容，除了“我”自己，人人都上網(wǎng)站購(gòu)物，于是我了決定也試下。并從下面的內(nèi)容列出Buying for Beginners，How to Pay，Selling Made Simple等等這是都是介紹如何操作的。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從Buying for Beginners的第二段的：“If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出價(jià)) for you.”可知答案。
小題3: 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從How to Pay的最后一句：“ The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.”可得到答案。

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.  There is one extra heading which you do not need.

小題1:
The causes of eating disorders are not clear. There may be genetic or biochemical factors in some cases. There may be psychological problems from early childhood or the present (such as school or family conflicts) that trigger the problem. Often, there is the double pressure to enjoy life through food and yet remain ultra-slim. Society all around us encourages eating and drinking as main ways to enjoy life- To be popular, you are supposed to eat. eat, eat
小題2:
But in real life most people, if they keep consuming like that, just keep pulling on more and more weight They then find themselves in conflict with another dominant pressure in society — to stay slim and trim. Models in ads, even those shown earing fairy foods, are usually physically lit and quite thin. All of these pressures put teens in a terrible situation. The ".solution" that some teens choose is to deny themselves all the time so as to keep temptation away. Bui soon, hunger and food boredom lead to overeating. Over time they develop anorexia or bulirnia.
小題3:
Once an earing disorder has become firmly established, there is no easy cure. Someone who's never suffered anorexia and never known an anorexic might be tempted to think. "It's simple — jusi tell them to eat more!" Unfortunately, it's not thai simple. Even when anorexics have been brought into the hospital and arc receiving physical care, nutritional therapy, and psychiatric care, many don't improve much.
小題4:
Our society's obsession with thinness, together with a constant emphasis on the theme that rich food means pleasure, puts many teens in a difficult situation. Being drawn to overeating on the one hand and self-denial on the other can bring about anorexia or bulimia — or both. Anorexics seem to feel that no matter how much weight they lose, they are still too fat Therefore, it is important for each person in our society to try to maintain a healthy and realistic self-image. Don't compare yourself wiih the models and actors in the media Set your sights more realistically by comparing yourself with family and friends, if anyone.
小題5:
Self-denial is the typical first step toward an caring disorder. Eventually, desires for what you've denied yourself become unbearable, and you react with eiiher a binge or overly fierce self-control. The answer is not of course. 10 eai all the snacks and trcais you fancy. But 10 avoid that first step that leads to overeating, strive for a good and healthy diet Such a diet is based primarily on grain products, fruits, and vegetables, with moderate amounts of meat and dairy products and with small amounts of snacks and desserts. Research demonstrates that mis kind of diet leaves you more alert and energetic.
