In China, a similar day falls on Nov. 11 when millions of Chinese shoppers go to T and T, two e-commerce websites operated by Alibaba.The 11.11 Shopping Festival, as the event is now called, is also known in China as Singles Day. The shopping festival first started in 2009 and Alibaba said it chose the date because it was easy to remember. Last year, Tmall and Taobao together produced 19.1 billion in sales on that day, according to Alibaba. This years shopping festival kicked off with an even stronger startsales hit 100 million yuan 55 seconds after midnight and reached 35 billion at the end of the day. The shopping spree(狂欢) drew the attention of Chinas leaders, as Premier Li Keqiang recently praised Alibabas founder, Jack Ma, for creating a day for consumption(消费). China is trying to lead the countrys economy to a slower, more sustainable growth model based on domestic (国内的) consumption instead of investment and exports. Online shopping is no doubt a growth point that will release spending potential. China had 564 million regular Internet users by the end of last year. It has surpassed the US to become the worlds largest e-commerce market, with its online sales over 1 trillion US dollars (6 trillion yuan) by 2022. “The real-time nature of online consumption attracts millions of people to spend money and enjoy life. E-commerce opens a new channel for China to encourage domestic demand,” Liu Yin, vice-president of the China International Electronic Commerce Center said. More importantly, it promotes employment and the logistics (物流) industry with its sales model of “online purchasing plus express delivery”, he added. Convenience, choice and low prices have increased online shopping, but there are still some problems with the one-day shopping spree.Some online shops, driven by the huge profits, took this opportunity to play price tricks. They raised prices to twice those of the originals in the early October and then offered discounts on Nov 11. Many consumers, driven by the advantage they could take, just went along for the ride. “They spend lots of time online to check what to buy and are happy to get what they dont really need at a lower price,” wrote Jia Ge, an Internet analyst, on his Sina weibo.41. In the US, a holiday shopping season refers to _. A. a shopping spree when stores offer special discounts B. a holiday when people can relax themselves by shopping C. one of the four seasons in a year like spring D. a spree in a holiday like Thanksgiving42. In this years 11.11 Shopping Festival, Tmall and Taobao produced _in all. A. 19.1 billion yuan B. 100 million yuan C. 35.1 billion yuan D. 35 billion yuan 43. What Liu Yin said is mainly about _. A. the development of logistic industry B. the advantages of express delivery C. the development of online shopping D. the advantages of e-commerce44. Premier Li keqiang praised Jack Mar because _. A. The 11.11 Shopping Festival increased domestic consumption B. He created the worlds largest e-commerce market C. The 11.11 Shopping Festival released singles spending potential D. His online sales reached over 1 trillion US dollars45. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. most online shops played price tricks on consumers to make huge profits B. driven by the huge profits, many consumers bought what they didnt really need C. many consumers were cheated by the online shops and bought unnecessary goods D. some prices of the goods were raised at first and sold at the original price on Nov.11 BSuccessful athletes today are able to earn enormous salaries and many of them choose to share the wealth they have by donating to charities.Ron Artest This NBA Lakers forward is planning to auction his 2010 championship ring online in an effort to raise money for mental-health problems in schools. He has also been publicly considering donating at least half of his salary for the 2011-2022 year.Steve NashThe Phoenix Suns player has a foundation bearing his name. It was started in 2001, and provides funds for children who are less fortunate in health, education and personal growth. The charity also focuses efforts on the community overall.Tiger WoodsThe pro-golfer has continued to make charitable donations despite the trouble in his personal life. His foundation sent $3 million to Haiti following the earthquake that destroyed the region. Woods also donated $100,000 to assist with the tsunami in 2004 and $200,000 went to the needy affected by Hurricane Katrina.Hannah TeterThe Olympic snowboarding champion joined with other athletes for the charity Children International. She has been a part of the humanitarian (人道主义的) group since 2007 and along with Gabi Viteri, a Burton Team Snowboarder, she traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico, to understand the needs of the school children there and how they can help. Hannah has helped improve the lives of many poor children.Lance ArmstrongThe professional cyclist and survivor of cancer created a foundation to help those affected by the disease as well. Funds are raised by cyclists, volunteers and cancer survivors, who appeal to local communities for donations. The funds are used to give hope to cancer sufferers and help them in all stages of dealing with the disease.Perhaps the generosity displayed by these athletes will inspire others to join them in helping the less fortunate.46.

Theyre longer than the average school bus, and once every hour or so they come to the surface and breathe. In a recent study, scientists found evidence that sperm whales may work together to hunt and feed.This is very bad news indeed for certain types of squid(鱿鱼).Scientist already knew that sperm whales, like a lot of mammals, can come together to form communities. Some researchers think that these groups, usually female and young whales, raise their young together. The new study suggests that in addition to raising whales, these groups also cooperate when theyre going after a meal.Sperm whales usually feast on squid, but to catch these animals the whales sometimes have to dive thousands of feet below the ocean surface. In 2008, scientists set out to study groups of sperm whales. The researchers were surprised to find that, when diving to the deep, the whales followed unexpected patterns. Some whales zigzagged back and forth, and it appeared that the whales did not all follow the same paths.“We expected their dives to be similar, but often one of the three whales went deeper than the other two,” Bruce Mate, the director of Oregon State Universitys Marine Mammal Institute, said.Mate and his team suspect that some whales were driving individual squid into one large group so that other whales could swim right into the middle of the squid and feast.Mates research suggests that sperm whales are herding(群聚) but doesnt deliver proof
