They have lots of pocket money to spend. And they spend a higher proportion of it online than the rest of us. Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buygames, CDs and clothingare easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a parents card. They want a facility that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and 20bn annually in the UK. Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something onlinemainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cybercash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to those for pay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as 20 or $50 with a concealed 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.12.What does the word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.

All skirts will be banned from September. Tight-fitting trousers will also be forbidden and Muslim head-dresses will have to be “school blue color.Head teacher Don Smith said, One of the big problems for us at the school has been the number of girls who have been wearing inappropriately short skirts. This has been an area of particular concern at a time when there has been a lot of material nationally about the sexualisation of young people.”He also said, “ It will be impractical to police the length of girls skirts. A blanket ban will be easier for staff to put into practice. We did not want to arrive at a situation where we were telling girls their skirts could only be a certain number of centimeters above or below the knee. Pupils, parents and other teachers opinions were sought before the uniform rules were changed.，The new clothing policy has been explained in a letter sent to parents of the schools 1,000 pupils and will come into force after the summer holiday. Support will be given to parents unable to afford the new tie. The school also wants pupils to wear clip-on(夹式)ties instead of traditional neckties.But the new uniform rules have not been well received by everyone. One parent, whose teenage daughter attends the school, said, “I completely agree some girls were wearing skirts that were too short. However, I think girls should be allowed to be feminine(女性化的).Other schools manage to let girls wear skirts while making sure they are not inappropriately dressed. I dont see why Paget cant do the same.16. From the passage we know _.AShort skirts give people the impression of sexualisationBIts not difficult to carry on the new rule.CParents know nothing about the schools decision.DThe new rule has already been put into practice17. We can learn from the passage that _AThe new uniform rules are well received by everyoneBNo schools in Branston allow girls to wear short skirtsCParents unable to afford the new uniform will gain supportDthe pupils parents were informed of the new clothing policy18 .Which of the following is right about the last paragraph?AAll parents agreed with the new school rule.BThe parents couldnt agree completely to the new rule.CThe parent didnt think girls skirts were to short.DIn the parents opinion, paget high school should stick to what it is doing.FAlthough English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we should be able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham( 火腿 )? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didnt speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered. “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like what the men from Hamburger ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers. ” Today hamburgers are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English dictionary.19.Hamburg is _.Aa kind of food Ba round piece of beefC. the name of a villageDa city of Germany .20.One of the Americans got the idea _.AFrom German visitorsBIn his businessCAt the airportDIn Germany21.

Young children imagine that their favorite toys can see, hear and feel.Gina is also a book collector. She loves the Heidi and Cndrrella books and has a nice collection.
