why not try it? ” my chinese teacher asked me one day. with that, my wonderful new relationship with alibaba began. alibabas original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of alibabas profit, and leading that group is taobao, with 800 million items(商品) for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. tm is alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from nike and unilever near the lowest prices.what i have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the u.s. is how china has gone beyond traditional shopping big-box retailers especially in favor of online purchases(购物) on taobao and a few other sites. in smaller towns than beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is taobao.i have a list of some of my recent purchases on taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. im not even a big buyer, because i need friends to help me search the chinese-language site. when i was searching my purchase history on my chinese teachers ipad, which helps me buy goods, i looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.28. alibabas advantage mainly lies in(位于) .a. its low price b. its big size c. its not charging small sellers d. its business-to-business service 29. what can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage? a. alibaba will continue to develop. b. alibaba stands out as the best online site.c. alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.d. alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.30 what can be inferred from the passage?a. tm provides more profit than taobao.b.the authors chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.c. taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.d. alibabas business-to-business service earns more money than retail. 31. what is the passage mainly about?a. shopping online in china is taobao.b. how the author purchases online in china.c. shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping. d. alibaba influences peoples daily purchase in china. d though problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever. one day or the other, youll have to stand up and say, “problem, i dont want you in my life.” of course, weve been fighting troubles ever since we were born. problems with friends, parents, girl friends, husbands, and children- the list goes on. apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. these keep adding to our problems. problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings. but good news is that problems can be dealt with. now read on to know how to solve your problems. talk, it really helps. what most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. but the truth is that when you talk about it, you are setting free the negative(负面的) energy thats been gathering within you. talking helps you move on and let go. write your problems. having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you dont want a real person to talk with. when you write down your problems, you are setting free all your tension from your system. you can try throwing away the paper in which you wrote your problems. by doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life. dont lose faith and hope. no matter what you lose in life, dont lose faith and hope. even if you lose all your money, family, you should still have faith. with faith and hope, you can rebuild everything you lose. your problems arent the worst. no matter what problem you get in life, there is another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why cant i? your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed. go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.32. according to the passage, the first paragraph is trying to _. a. upset the readers. b. encourage the readers. c. laugh at the readers. d. please the readers.33. what is the main idea of paragraph 2?
