A few years ago, Dave Stirling had the idea of selling CDs over the Internet. The business he started from his home in Ohio, the USA, now sells 500,000 CDs a year and has made him into a millionaire(百萬(wàn)富翁)at the age of 24.
“I could see that this was the future of shopping,” says Stirling. “Why should you pay $15 for a CD and spend the time and the money getting into the store and parking your car? You can have the same CD for half of the price by clicking(敲擊)on your computer. And we can find any CD you want and bring it to your door in 24 hours!” 
According to Stirling, this is the only beginning, “I believe that one day we’ll do our shopping over the net: it’s easier, quicker and cheaper. Shops and supermarkets will be the past.” 
小題1:Dave Stiring started his business from______.
A．his home B．his company C．the office D．the country
小題2:How has Stirling become so rich?

C．By selling ideas to others.D．By selling CDs over the Internet.

A．$15. B．$12. C．$7.5. D．$30.
小題4:By shopping over the net, you won’t_____.
A．spend the time and the money B．drive your car any more
C．click on your computer D．get into the store by yourself
小題5: What can we learn from the passage?

B．Shops and supermarkets will be the past in the future.

You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best. "
What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is "different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.
We asked some people about their homes.
How often do people move house in your country?
"In my country many people don’t stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so. "

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

One night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, no answer.
So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of （一摞）cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back “For what?” it returned to me with “Loving me” on it.
Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”
小題1:The underlined word “yucky” most probably means ____.
A．upsetB．excitingC．terribleD．a(chǎn)mazing
小題2:What could be the reason that Kevin’s Dad doesn’t like him?
A．Kevin is not as clever as his brother.
B．He is neither the youngest nor the oldest.
C．Kevin doesn’t like to make friends with others.
D．Kevin is not good at playing basketball.
小題3:What do we know about the writer?
A．She has two children in her family.
B．She didn’t pay enough attention to Kevin before.
C．She used to show her love to Kevin.
D．She has a closer relationship with Tommy after that.
小題4:What does the writer want to tell us?
A．Everyone should show how they love their family members.
B．It’s hard to get on well with family members.
C．It’s important to keep peace in the family.
D．We should try our best to stop our children from fighting.

I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold(折疊) everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated(沮喪) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.
Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.
小題1:The writer used to take care of the lady because ________.
A．she wanted to learn to do housework
B．she was a friend of the lady’s
C．she had to earn some money
D．she couldn’t find a room to live in
小題2:The underlined word ‘paralyzed’ in the first paragraph may mean ‘______’.
A．destroyedB．deafC．seriously illD．unable to walk
小題3:The little girl was ______ when the lady taught her how to do housework.
A．encouraged to learnB．unwilling to learn
C．delighted to learnD．recommended to learn
小題4:Now the writer ______.
A．is still afraid of the ladyB．hates the strict lady
C．a(chǎn)dmires the disabled ladyD．is very grateful to the lady
