    In the mid 1990s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in shops. Then, there were Internet companies which didn't have shops; they sold things only over the net.

    Traditional companies didn't want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own website and began selling things over the net. These are the so-called "brick and click" companies.

"Don't forget to study for the Chinese history test on Friday," Mrs. Green said to the class. Julie closed her book and sighed (叹息). Julie was a perfect monitor and could organize all kinds of activities. However, she was 1 in history.

The following day, she went to the library and tried remembering all the facts and data (数据). 2 it was useless. Just then Julie looked up and she found Maria from 3 class was seated at a nearby table.

Julie joined Maria who was sitting with some cards and some coloured pencils. Each card 4 a colourful picture. Julie was curious (好奇的), "I thought you were studying history." "You're right. I think I need to be 5 because it's difficult to remember so many things. I like art, and the pictures help me recall facts," Maria said.

"I see," said Julie, with interest. After thinking for a while, an idea came to her mind. She had rich 6 in organizing big events, starting from making small plans step by step. 7 did she connect all of them at last? Mind maps!

"Hey, Maria," said Julie. "How about this: I 8 these history events into different types and use a mind map to connect each type together. And you draw the pictures for these types as their explanation." "That's cool! Let's start right now!" Maria agreed 9 .

"Sure," said Julie. At that time, studying didn't seem so 10 . And what you need to do is to find out what are good at and make full use of it.

 阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Tao Tao is a 17-year-old boy. He was born with cerebral palsy(脑瘫). But he never gave up hope and has tried his best to feed himself. He sells self-made popcorn on the street on his own. And this touches the hearts of many people and wins him a chance to get education(教育). 

 Yao Chuanhua, Tao Tao's mother, taught her son to live on himself at the very beginning. She taught Tao Tao how to make popcorn at home and helped set up a shop in Xiaoshan district, Hangzhou city of East China's Zhejiang province. At first, Tao Tao didn't know how to sell and few people bought his popcorn. To make him feel confident, the mother even paid some passersby (路人) to buy popcorn from her son's shop. Finally, the shy boy became active and confident. Now he runs the shop on his own very well. 

Yao is proud(自豪的) of Tao Tao, so she shared videos of her son's popcorn selling story online. People were touched by the story and some travelled from far away to buy popcorn from Tao Tao. Many people wanted to give money to Tao Tao, but Yao refused. "I hope that one day my son could live on his own. " Yao says. 

The online videos also drew the attention of local special schools. After learning about the boy's situation, they decided to send some local special education teachers to offer him door-to-door teaching. On November 19th, Tao Tao took the classes for the first time at home. The classes will continue regularly in the future although he has no classmates to study with.
