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

In the old economy, people travel to work. 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 (虚拟)stores”. They are websites on which customers can see the products. Businesses 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 a double-edge sword. Its disadvantage is also obvious. For example, the Internet has led to a huge increase in credit card cheating. Some illegal websites offer some cheap or banned 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.

1.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

2.“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

3.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.

D．Life in the new economy is more comfortable than the one in the old economy.

It’s time to stop complaining. The economy might be melting down like butter in a hot pot, but for some people — you, maybe? — this could be a very good thing.

Here’s why. At no other time in recent history has it been easier or cheaper to start a new kind of company. Possibly a very profitable company. Let’s call these start-ups LILOs, for “a little in, a lot out;” These are Web-based businesses that cost almost nothing to get off the ground yet can turn into great moneymakers.

How do you get started? All that’s required is a great idea for a product that will fill a need in the 21st century. These days you’d do best if your idea either makes people money or saves them money. And launching now will make your company stronger later — you’ll learn to survive on fumes until the economy improves.

That’s what John Tayman is doing. He’s an author who lives in San Francisco, where I met him; he wrote reviews for a business magazine I edited. Tayman knew little about technology and even less about business. And yet he dreamed of a website that would summarize car reviews from other sources and rank every model of new car. “It’ll be like RottenTomatoes.com meets Kelley Blue Book,” he explained to me during lunch one day last June. Tayman said he intended to build the site on the side while continuing to write for a living. He’d work on his new company only at night and on weekends. Oh, yes, and he had only about $10,000. “Good luck with that!” I thought. Ideas are much easier to produce than they are to put into practice.

Tayman went to work with nothing more than his PowerBook laptop. A very well-organized fellow, he quickly discovered a bunch of free stuff online — instructional manuals and sites that walk you through the process from start to finish. Within months, Tayman had a staff of 20 employees working for him in five different countries. MotorMouths.com went live in January. Tayman figures he has worked about 10 hours a week on it and hasn’t spent a cent on marketing or advertising. Growth is modest but steady: nearly 10,000 people visit each week.

1.What is an advantage of starting a business now?

A. It will guarantee you a big success.　　 B. It can never be more profitable.

C. It costs you much less than ever before.　　 D. It keeps you from useless complaining.

2.What is necessary to start your business according to the passage?

A. Low-cost products used to be trade.

B. Practical products with good quality.

C. Starting the business as early as possible.

D. A good idea helping people make or save money.

3.How did the author feel on hearing of Tayman’s idea?

A. He was sure that it would make profit.　　 B. He had no confidence in Tayman’s success.

C. He didn’t trust his ability.　　 D. He thought Tayman was out of his mind.

4.How is Tayman’s website going now?

A. It has a total of 10,000 visits per week.　　 B. It has made a huge profit since January.

C. It still copies free stuff from the Internet.　　 D. It starts to be used by more people now.

Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals.1.

One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. They have used paints, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, and many, many other places. 2.

Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life. Some tourists walk around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission(准许). For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies. 3. Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep.

4.Walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more, can be seen everywhere.

The only way to solve the problem of terrible tourists is to make sure that you are not one ! 5. Remember, whenever you step out of your country, you are representing (代表) your country to the rest of the world.

A. But it may also bring some problems.

B. Pass kindness along to future generations.

C. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed.

D. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.

E. The number of problems from tourists is endless.

F. Enjoy the excellent food, and go shopping at the local markets.

G. Another example is Sanlitun, a neighborhood in Beijing, China.
