Julie looked on the Internet for a website to help her find her old school friends. But there was nothing. So Julie and her husband, Steve, started their own website. They called it Friends Reunited.
The site grew slowly at first, but soon they received their first”thank you”email. The man wrote. “Thank you so much. Using your website, I found an old friend from thirty years ago! ” Julie and Steve were very excited about this and continued to improve their website. By the end of 2000, there were 3000 members.

Need to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.
People are surprised to hear this. “They think, I don’t need to drive, and the business doesn’t need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,” says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist.
“But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.”
In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33% between 1986 and 1997. “Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,” says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.
Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amount of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.
Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more car dioxide(CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.
Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.
“ If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop,”says Prost. “People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?” Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. “Online shopping is fast and easy,” says Prost, “But we can’t forget the negative effects it has on the environment.”
26. The passage begins with several questions to_______
A. introduce the main topic B.describe online shopping
C.show the writer’s opinion. D.list advantages of shopping
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The internet is not good to the environment
B. Online shopping causes more air pollution
C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.
D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment
28. Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?
A. Large products need more packing materials
B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years
C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products
D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store
29. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. A Good Deal to Make? B. A Different Lifestyle to keep?
C. A Cleaner Way to Shop? D. A New Business to Start?
30. Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage?(P=Paragraph)
