Recently, many people have begun to try a new way of doing shopping through the Internet. They are very interested in it. Why is it becoming more and more popular now? There are some reasons. First, more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet. Second, shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time. Third, they don't need to go to the shop themselves. Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.
On the other hand, some people don't like this new way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping online. Customers(顾客)can only see the pictures of a product on the Internet. And they can't enjoy the pleasure of buying things in a large supermarket or a wonderful shopping center. These are the reasons why they do not like it.
But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.

New York City is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work and school?
In New York you can travel by subways, bus, taxi and private (私人的) car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel is by bus. It is a slower way to travel.
You can also travel by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to every place you want to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work..
The last way is to use your private car. It’s not good to drive during the “rush hour”. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel is from 9 a.m to 4.pm . Traffic will be less crowded during this time because most people are already at school or at work at that time.

Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by "culture"? Recently social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行为)hat help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Human beings use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects(方面) of human behavior, or "culture", can also be found in the lives of certain animals, Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.

Are you having a problem going to sleep? Have you tried many ways such as drinking a glass of warm milk or listening to some soft music or counting sheep but it still does not work? Cooling down your brain may be a great way to help you get good sleep.
A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker if you try cooling down your brain. Daniel and Eric from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had insomnia. The other twelve had no problems in sleeping. Each of them wore a cap on their heads at bed time.
The caps had tubes (管) inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. People had trouble sleeping (called “patients” in the following parts of the passage) often had more chemical reactions (化学反应) in their brains. The researchers thought lowering the temperature of the head might help.
On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore no water caps. During the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for another two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler.
The situation of the insomnia did not become better until the temperature was about 14ºC. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.
This is the only beginning of the head temperature study. But they believe they have discovered something important that needs more research.
1.A new study to help people fall asleep quicker is _________.

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “insomnia”?

4.Insomnia patients became better when _________.
A. the water was cooled about 14ºC B. The caps were filled with water
