Nowadays, Internet shopping is becoming increasingly popular and many more high
street stores and supermarkets are now offering this facility．You can shop for just
about anything from the comfort of your own home，and all you need to do is to sit
in your armchair and order things directly on the internet．
Shopping on the Internet offers convenience and time—saving benefits to shoppers，
as compared to traditional storefront shopping．People can shop for a variety of
products on the Internet，ranging from physical products，such as books，CDs，clothes
and food，to information products，such as on-line news or magazine stories．If it
is too inconvenient for you to go out for shopping on your own，or if lack of time
makes it difficult for you to shop at physical locations such as stores and shopping
malls，you can choose to do shopping on the internet．The Internet operates 24 hours
a day，seven days a week，and shoppers can expect to find and purchase goods off
the Internet anytime，unlike traditional storefronts which have fixed opening

the social interaction and the sense of community. Many people will find it
completely unpleasant because they may 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．

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
Have you ever felt so anxious during an examination that you couldn’t even put down
the answers you knew? If so, you were suffering from what is known as test anxiety.
According to psychologist Ralph Trimble, test anxiety is a very real problem for
many people. When you’re worried over your performance on an exam, your heart beats
faster and your pulse speeds up. These reactions start others: You may sweat more
than normal or suffer from a stomachache or headache. Your field of vision narrows
and becomes tunnel-like. Before you know it, you’re having difficulty focusing.
“What I hear students say over and over again,” says Dr. Trimble, who is working
at the Psychological and Counseling Center at the University of Illinois, “is, ‘My
mind went blank.’”
For a number of years, Dr. Trimble helped many students learn how to perform better
during exams and to bring up their grades. Some of these students were interested
in sharing what they learned and, with Trimble’s help, began holding workshops on
overcoming text anxiety. For many students, just being in a workshop with other
sufferers made them feel better. They realized that they were not the only ones who
had done poorly on tests because of tension.
The workshops were so successful that they are still given.
In the workshops, students are taught that anxiety is normal. You just have to prevent
it from getting the best of you. The first step is to learn to relax. If before or
during an examination you start to panic, stretch as hard as you can, tensing the
muscles in your arms and legs; then suddenly relax all of them.
This will help relieve tension. But keep in mind that you don’t want to be too relaxed.
Being completely relaxed is no better than being too tense. “If you are so calm
you don’t care how you do on an examination, you won’t do well,” Trimble says.
“There is an optimum level of concern when you perform at your best. Some stress
helps. There are people who can’t take even slight stress. They have to learn that
in a challenging situation, being anxiously excited is good and will help them to
do better.
But if they call it anxiety and say, ‘It’s going to hit me again,’ that will make
them nervous and worried.”
As a student you must also realize that if you leave too much studying until a day
or two before the examination, you can’t do the impossible and learn it all. Instead,
concentrate on what you can do and try to think what questions are likely to be asked
and what you can do in the time left for studying.
When you sit down to study, set a moderate pace and vary it by reading, writing notes,
and going over any papers you have already written for the course, as well as the
textbooks and notes you took in class. Review what you know. Take breaks and go to
sleep early enough to get a good night’s rest before the exam. You should also eat
a moderate breakfast or lunch, avoiding drinks like coffee and stay away from fellow
students who get tense. Panic spreads easily.
Get to the exam room a few minutes early so that you will have a chance to familiarize
yourself with the surroundings and get out your supplies. When the examination is
handed out, read the directions twice and underline the significant instructions,
making sure you understand them. Ask the teacher to explain if you don’t. First
answer the easiest questions, then go back to the more difficult.
On essay questions, instead of starting right away, take a few minutes to organize
your thoughts, make a brief outline, and then start off with a summary sentence.
Keep working steadily, and even when time starts to run out, don’t speed up.

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
"Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it's a girl."
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response
from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news,
while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are
some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others
do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers
and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For
other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted
willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from
the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few
attempts have been made to educate fathers in this reconciliation process. Although
numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has
literature focused on the role of fathers.
It is argued by some writers that the change to the father's role, although difficult,
is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take to the mother's role. The
mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly
innovative adaptation. On the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and
immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women
are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner
in the household.
51. From the passage, we learn that fatherhood
A. brings a feeling of excitement to most men.
B. makes some men feel proud and others uneasy.
C. has a different meaning for men who have daughters.
D. means a responsibility that men accept unwillingly.
52. What does the passage say about the shift from the role of husband to that of
father?
A. Numerous books have been written about it.
B. Not enough attention has been paid to it.
C. The shift is harder for men than for women.
D. The shift is a difficult but incomplete one.
53. The passage indicates that
A. mothers get more attention and recognition from society.
B. mothers are innovative and demanding according to some writers.
C. mothers generally stay at home to take care of the children.
D. mothers should help fathers in their reconciliation process.
54. Which of the following will the author most probably disagree with?
A. It's as difficult to be a father as it is to be a mother.
B. More books should focus on the role of fathers.
C. The father is still the breadwinner in the household.
D. Fathers are as important to children as mothers.
55. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to
A. explain why there are few books on the role of fathers.
B. praise mothers for their great contributions to the home.
C. criticize fathers for not taking enough responsibility in bringing up the
children.
D. complain about the lack of social programs to help fathers in their role shift.
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:

world for his research into the working of the human brain, in particular the part
played by memory. It is a curious fact, however, that he himself was extremely
absent-minded. The following story was told about him.
It seems that all his life Edward had wanted to become an expert fisherman, but owing
to his work, he was unable to satisfy his desire completely until he retired.
Accordingly on Sunday shortly after he retired, he set out, equipped with fishing
rod and tackle, a straw basket and some suitable bait, and dressed in an oilskin,
sou’wester and waders just in case. He was prepared to enjoy a day’s fishing, a
subject about which he had read much and done little.
He found a clear, running stream lined with pebbles, baited his hook, cast his line
carefully and sit down to wait. It was a warm day, patchy with sunlight and scudding
clouds - a fisherman’s day. The sunlight danced on the white stones on the river
bed, the river chattered merrily and Edward, patient and content, sat waiting for
a bit. He sat so long in fact that after a while he could scarcely remember why he
had come.
Presently there was a little flurry in the water and then a flash of silver as a
salmon leaped.
