Everyone’s at it , even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(网上拍卖).Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ehay. co. uk. Most items ( e. g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with "Buy It Now" and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the. highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价’) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before
placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card (信用).
Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I
followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starring on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big things in life: It’ s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this
has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Cheek the ways of delivery before you bid.

Lack of parent willpower may contribute more to juvenile obesity than under-exercising or
overeating.
Research suggests that having overweight parents is a big, influence ( 影响) upon a child’ s
weight, with one study finding that children with overweight parents were four times more likely to be overweight themselves.
The findings add heat to an already fierce political debate （争论） over childhood obesity. The Prime Minister, John Howard, last week decided that $116 million be Used for programs to deal with obesity, while the Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, recently announced that his party would move to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements..
Clare Colins a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle, believes such programs will definitely fail unless they influence the way of life of whole families. "If we can’ t get parents to take action against their own weight problems, then we can’ t expect to influence their kids," she said.
However, Professor, Louise Baur from the Children’ s Hospital at Westmead, doubts whether
adult education programs offer any solution to weight problems. "Many parents know they need to lose weight and they knew it influences their kids, but they lack the willpower to do anything about it.
The, l0-year study of 150 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight. Only one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight.
The president of the Australasian Society for the .Study of Obesity, Associate Professor Gary
Wittert, said parents needed help in doing their job and the Opposition Party’s policy（政策） might be on the right track.
"We know that driving without a seat belt is unsafe, so we make law against it,” he said.
"Obesity is a major public health concern, so why shouldn’t we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads?"
39. What does the underlined phrase “juvenile obesity” mean?
A. Adult education. B. Childhood overweight C. Parents’ influence D. Growing pains
40. What is TRUE about the programs supported by the Prime Minister?
A. Debates on them will become less fierce.
B. They will be effective in dealing with obesity.
C. A large sum of money will be spent on them.
D. They will influence people’ s way of life.
41.Both Collins and Baur believe that overweight parents_______,
A. will come up with .better solutions
B. will help with their children’ s education
C. should be more active in reducing weight
D. should carry out at least 10 years’ study
42. According to some experts, the Opposition Party’s policy________.
A. can help fight against unemployment
B. may protect kids from unhealthy food ads
C. should be brought back to the right track
D. will work well to prevent traffic accidents

The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’ s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer
broke the quiet. He’ d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’ d eat after he’ d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-
but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’ d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
Gone to Michael’ s. Back tonight, Tim.

up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and
sweet.
The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday’ s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The
sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer.
