A lot of people are crazy doing shopping through the Internet now. Why is it so popular? There are some reasons. First, more and more people have their own computers and their computers can be joined with the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet. Second, shopping through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time. Third, they don’t need to go to the shop themselves. Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.
On the other hand, some people don’t like this new way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping on line. Customers(顾客) can only see the pictures of products on the Internet. And they can’t enjoy the pleasure of buying things in large supermarkets or some wonderful stores. These are the reasons why they do not like it.
But I think more and more people will like this new kind of shopping in the future.

Who touched the hearts of Chinese people in the past year? Luo Yang, 51, the father of China’s carrier jet, who devoted his whole life to the aircraft industry, is no doubt one such person.
Luo was the head of production for the new J-15 fighter. On November 25, he was joining in fighter jet landing exercises for the Liaoning as usual. Shortly after the successful landing of the J-15, Luo experienced a sudden heart attack. He was soon sent to the hospital but the doctors couldn’t save his life.
Luo was given an award for his special contribution（贡献）to the country by China Central Television on February 19.
As general manager of the Shenyang Aircraft Corp, Luo didn’t use his power to improve the quality of his life. He gave up the chance to move into a new apartment. His suit was ten years old and his watch strap（带）was faded（褪色的）.All he focused on was the aircraft industry.
Luo seldom had the time for a good chat with his wife and daughter. He always started work at 6 am and returned home around midnight when they were sleeping.
When devoted to his work, Luo always forgot about everything else. His final days were all spent on the J-15. At one point, he felt unwell, but he didn’t leave the carrier or see a doctor.
“I spent eight days on the carrier with Luo. He worked all day and night under huge pressure,” recalled Meng Jun, one of his colleagues（同事）.
Luo’s death is a big loss to the country. His example, however, has inspired many people. “It’s a pity Luo Yang died when the aircraft carrier achieved success. It’s good to see more young people are entering this career now,” said Yang Yu, a commentator（评论员）for China Central Television.What was Luo Yang famous for?
| A．He and his team invented the high speed train. |
| B．He and his team produced the new J-15 fighter successfully. |
| C．He and his team bought the latest carrier fighter（舰载机）. |
