Unit 1 Cultural relics Period 2 Reading课后阅读训练 . 阅读理解AInternet shopping is a new way of shopping. People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most common purchases(购买品)through the Internet. You can also buy information products such as online news or magazine stories, or you can download computer software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets, booking hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in online games or e-mail “chats”. Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shoppers. The most important one is convenience. You can shop when you like, as the online shops are open 24 hours a day, and you do not have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet. Even out-of-print books may be ordered online. Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can shop exactly what you want. The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make online payment safe. Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead. It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of thingsfrom tonights dinner to a new car. 【语篇概述】网络购物这种新的购物方式越来越受欢迎, 文章主要讲述了网络购物的优缺点。1. Online news and magazine stories are_.

You may think these are things seen only in gang(黑帮)movies, but they are actually from Chinese political TV series In the Name of People, which began airing on March 28. The TV series was based on a novel of the same name by famous political novelist Zhou Meisen. Different from other political-themed stories, In the Name of People attracts both older and younger audiences. This may be because it is mostly based on real cases. For example, the drama is built around a corruption(腐败)case brought to light by conflicts(冲突)at a factory in a fictional province. The corrupt officials in the story are a combination of real former senior leaders. This is also why the novel has been called pioneer. It describes a vice state-level(副国级的)official as a bad person. This presents audiences with a picture of Chinese authority(权力)in the ongoing anti-corruption campaign. According to Zhou, there are many things that may lead to the corruption of an official. Weakness of character, the temptations(诱惑)present in an official career, and traps(陷阱)set by other people are all reasons he gives. “But actually, the real reason is the development of human greed(贪婪), with the power not being watched over properly, ”he told China Daily. And Zhou knows this from personal experience. To gain deeper understanding of politics for his writing, he took a one-year job as a secretary general in the city government of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, in 1994. During this time, Zhou found that he was treated much better than a regular person. “I was just a common man before I took this job, and I had no idea of what privilege(特权)was like until I became a secretary general in the city government, ”Zhou told China Daily. This job made him realize that power is something that one can easily become addicted to(上瘾). But it was also this experience that made Zhou can describe his characters with more details. “I dont consider corrupt officials as demons(恶魔). They are human. I try to explore their inner conflicts after they fall from high positions, ”he told Beijing News. 【语篇概述】反腐大剧人民的名义近期已成为街头巷尾纷纷讨论的爆款电视剧。而这样一部题材严肃的正剧, 究竟是如何做到“老少通吃”, 赢得了男女老少各路观众心的呢?5.
