In the mid 1990s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet companies which didn’t have stores, they sold things only over the Net.

Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called “brick and click” companies. Many stores are made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That’s where the name “brick and click” comes from.

By the late 1990s, e-businesses like Amazon.com, Buy.com, and eToys.com were in trouble. Their profits(利润) were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money, and in 2000, many e-businesses were out of business.

In the world of e-commerce(电子商务), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.

1.Many traditional companies created their own websites in________.

2.Why were Internet companies in a lot of trouble in the late 1990s?

3.Which would be a brick and click company?

Middle school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and　 　　　 　 boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing and shouting happily　 　　　 　 going back to the classroom again. But　 　　　 　 should students spend their free time outside school?

In Western countries, it is ordinary for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can make their own money and learn more about the “　 　　　 　 world”. They enjoy the independence(独立) and(of course) money, and parents enjoy the quiet house.　 　　　 　 , it seems that, in China, parents　 　　　 　 so much about their children’s studies that they prefer to see their children　 　　　 　 most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams. It is natural for　 　　　 　 to feel that way in China, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, western school children work long hours after school to make money, so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend　 　　　 　 much time on their studies that other things become3 less important.

So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job and you feel　 　　　 　 , your parents will also be happy because you’re spending the money you make and not theirs!
