according to a study published last week in the US.
For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2011 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases (购买) were women.
"It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming", said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study.
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because
women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2011. They worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
"But even if shoppers don"t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores," said Dan Hess, vice president of Comscore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores" websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive
on time. "It"s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more
comfortable." Hess said.

核心考点
试题【阅读理解。 Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Interne】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
with or does your attention keep jumping around the room to all the other people there? General1y, if the
person is someone you really want to talk to, you will focus on him. Most other people will only get about half of your attention.
You may think that this is OK, because if you don"t really want to talk to him, then what does it matter
if you don"t give him your full attention? Consider two things. First, you may just not realize the importance of that conversation. If you are at a networking meeting and you hope to meet the CEO of Company X,
but you end up talking to someone who has a low-level job at a different company, then you may let your
attention wander (走神) as you speak to him. But maybe you don"t realize that this person has already
met the CEO and could introduce you. Do you think he will do that if he feels you don"t really care about
speaking to him? This doesn"t mean you need to spend the whole time talking to him. Five or ten minutes
of real attentive (专心的)conversation can be worth 30 minutes to an hour of partial attention.
Second, whether you want to speak to someone is based on the situation. You can love your wife, but
if she tries to talk to you while you are watching something you like on TV, where is your attention going? Make your own decision, but if you want her to feel valued, give her your 100% attention. The nice thing
is that in many cases you can give her your attention for a few minutes and then return to what you were
doing. You miss very little, she feels valued, and all is good.
B. giving examples
C. asking questions
D. description
B. you can refuse to talk to someone you don"t like at a party
C. you should focus on whoever you are talking to

C. wants to make friends with you
D. is the one you"re looking for
B. go on with what you are doing
C. stop doing anything immediately
D. finish what you are doing with her
B It is important for you to be active at a party.
C You should respect your wife at any time.
D Improve your communication skills by focusing on others
Consumers are spending in an uncertain environment as fears about the health of the US economy
persist. Thousands of people queued late on Thursday evening in the hope of being the first to find a
bargain, with many shops offering deep discounts on clothing, electronic goods and toys.
"Several chains opened even earlier than the typical midnight start. Children"s retailer Toys R Us threw open its doors at 22:00 on Thursday for the first time. Others stayed open after trading on Thanksgiving
itself. Judging from the excitement at Toys R Us at 10 pm (on Thursday) and throughout the evening, the
shopper is back, " Toys R Us chief executive Jerry Storch told Reuters. Department store Macy"s said it
had 7,000 shoppers outside its flagship Herald Square store in Manhattan in the early hours of Friday
morning, some 2,000 more than last year.
Despite continued concerns over the US economy and a stubbornly high unemployment rate of 9.6%,
analysts are predicting a better holiday season than last year. The National Retail Federation says it expects sales to be 2.3% higher than 2009, to totalling $447m (285m). That could bode well for the US economy, with consumer spending making up about 70% of total economic output. "This is shaping up to be one
of the biggest Black Fridays we"ve seen," said David Bassuk, managing director at consulting firm Alix
Partners.

The following are tips on how to get the most out of your college education.
Time Management
[2] "Man is first a social animal, then a rational one." So you may find it hard to say "No" each time your
roommate wants to see a movie when you need to read Paradise Lost(《失乐园》).
[3]Think about what you want from college and from friends. Study after breakfast, between classes,
whatever works best for you. Don"t cut off all social contacts, which are as vital to surviving in college as
reading. Study Hegel(黑格尔)first, then catch a late movie.
Study Method
[4]Would you take a trip by _____ instead of reading a map? Of course not. Studying in college demands more independence than in high school, survey the material first to get a sense of it; ask some questions;
write down key ideas; tell yourself the essence of what you"ve read and review it.
Keeping up
[5]Professors may not notice whether you attend a large lecture, but you could notice later on. Some
professors use lectures to discuss material not found in the reading on which they will base an exam.
Others stress key points. Skip at your own risk. If you must miss a lecture, get the notes in time. If too
much time elapse (逝去), the notes will make no sense. Never fall more than a week behind in reading
the notes. If you don"t do the reading, you won"t understand the lecture.
1. What is the best tile of the passage?(no more than 10 words)

A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person"s unique qualities to their
advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have
a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of
embellishment (装饰), so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and
lovely.
A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by
God. Any attempt to make up would be self - defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash.
Packaging for the middle - aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life
enough to keep self - confidence and work at pioneering work you are unique in your natural qualities;
and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been
through plains mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life,
which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth .
There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow - capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of
fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep
in harmony (和谐)with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in
unpleasantness. To be in the elder"s company is like reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality)edition
that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with.
As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets
up its brand by the right packaging.
B. people should be packed in a special way
C. elderly people also care about packing
D. proper packing makes people attractive
B. is the strongest
C. comes from the inside
D. comes from the appearance
B. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life
C. do a lot of traveling and can give you much information
D. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairylands
dressed up, washed and dried. Here, it"s the owners who go to obedience (服从) school, and these
people pay almost a thousand US dollars a month to learn how to properly care for their pets. Dogs are
hot in Beijing, a symbol of a new middle-class family.
Dogs or pets can take the place of children, even husbands. Qin Lu, 23-year-old dog owner, certainly
thinks her dog makes some more loyal partner. She"s spending 1,300 yuan, that"s almost 200 US dollars
a month, sending her dog to the training school. Think about it, almost half her monthly salary as a
secretary.
Personally, if I have a dog, I want to give it the very best of everything. Otherwise, I wouldn"t have a
dog.
Before we get too sentimental (引起伤感情绪的), though, other dogs in China have a far more
grisly (令人毛骨悚然的) fate, many still destined for the dinner table, dog meat, a popular delicacy.
But appetities are changing. What was once for the eating is now for the treating. Beijing alone is home
to more than a million dogs. Owners spend an average 25 dollars a month on pets. Do the math. Dogs
are big business. Ning Wei who runs this obedience school on the outskirts of Beijing said. "It has been
open for almost three years. There are many dogs. And now we are opening another branch."
As their owners embrace everything western, so too, are the dogs. Ning Wei"s specializing in
producing a new breed of bilingual puppies. Yes, dogs that understand Chinese and now English. "I"m
going to do a test now to see if it understands both English and Chinese. Effectively, if its Chinese is better
than my English, and its English is better than my Chinese."
