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 didnt have stores, they sold things only over the Net.Traditional companies didnt 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. Thats where the name “brick and click” comes from.By the late 1990s, e-businesses like A, B, and eT 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.26 . Many traditional companies created their own websites in.Athe early l990sBthe mid l990sCthe late l990sD1990s27 .

Take Sally chicken as an example. The chicken with yellow body and a fat mouth always looks lovely, which makes it popular on the Internet. Seeing her cute picture cheers people up. But theres another advantage of cute animals.New research has found that looking at pictures of cute animals can also help us concentrate better. The study comes from researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan. They invited 132 university students to take part in a series of experiments.In one experiment, students played a game in which they had to pick up small objects from a hole without touching the sides. In another experiment, students were asked to find a given number from a list of numbers quickly. In both experiments they did the given tasks twice before and after looking a picture of either kittens(baby cats) and puppies(baby dogs), or adult cats and dogs.Researchers were surprised to find that in both cases students who were shown cute baby animal pictures made fewer mistakes. However, baby animals look both “cuter” and “more pleasant” than adult animals. Some people may ask whether the test difference came from their being pleasant”.To find the answer, the researchers chose some food pictures which looked pleasant but not cute, and gave them to a third group of students. But viewing the foods did not make the students do any better in the number test. This finding shows that viewing cute pictures makes participants behave and do tasks with greater care.The “power of cuteness” may be of great use in everyday life. Think about situations in which people need to act carefully: driving, office work and exams.“In my first year of high school, I brought small plastic toys to school during tests. I would set them up in a row on my desk, facing me, and then get busy with answering exam questions,” Susana Martinez-Conde wrote in Scientific American.29 .
