There are many online(網(wǎng)上)food shopping sites．This is very surprising．Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online．But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes．It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables．Customers like to choose their food by its color．They also want to touch and smell it．But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality(質(zhì)量)．So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online．

　　Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been delivered to homes around Britain for a few years now．Dried or canned(罐裝的)foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not．People may want to choose their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised(碰傷)or the ones that look nice．Buying dried and canned food online is easier．A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market．

　　Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites(網(wǎng)站)．There people can find most of the things that supermarkets usually sell．Other food websites sell different types of food．Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia．Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets．There are also websites that sell sweet foods such as cakes and candies．

　　The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day．People still need to be careful, though．They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it．It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from．It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration(冷藏)when they deliver food that should be kept cold．If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important．

　　In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business．But he was not a good artist．So he invented a very simple camera．He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden．That was the first photo．

　　The next important date in the history of photography(攝影術(shù))was in 1837．That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room．He used a new kind of camera in a different way．In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing．This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype．

　　Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way．Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world．people took picture of famous buildings, cities and mountains．

　　In about 1840, photography was developed．Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things．That was not simple．The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines．But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard．

　　Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer．He took many picture of great people．The picture were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的)．

　　Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century．Some photos were nor just copies of the real world．They showed and feelings, like other kinds of art．

　　Einstein was born in 1879 in Germany．As a child he was slow to talk．But when he was 14 years old, he became clever．He taught himself maths from text books．He studied hard because he wanted to be a physicist(物理學家)。

　　In 1901, Einstein began teaching．In 1902, he went on with his study at the University of Zurich．Several years later, he put forward(提出)his Theory of Relativity(相對論)．

　　To most people the Theory of Relativity is hard to explain．But once Einstein explained it very well to a group of young students．He said：" When you sit with a good girl for two hours, you think it is only a minute, But when you sit on a hot fire for a minute, you think it's two hours．That's relativity”．

　　Later Einstein went to America and never left there．His life ended at the age of 76．

Today’s Women

　　People like to say：“The hand that rocks(搖動)the cradle(搖籃)rules the world．” Or they say：“Behind every successful man, there is a woman．”

　　Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful．But some women want more for themselves．They want to be successful as men．

　　Today the best jobs are still given to men．Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men．Some women want these things changed．They want to stand beside the men, with the same chances for success．

　　Now many American women are earning money outside their homes．More than half of the women at the age of eighteen to sixty-five have good jobs．In general, working women have more education than those who stay at home．

　　Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and most of them often spend their holidays away from home．They like traveling by air．Women’s work had made several changes in women’s lives and in men’s lives, too．

　　But things are quite different from those in the Middle East countries．

　　In the Middle East countries, women have to stay at home．Their duty is to look after their families and do all the housework．They can’t find work outside．When they go out in public, they cover their faces with something and walk behind their husbands．

　　For the past few years the women’s life has been changing in those countries．Many women want to play an active role in the society(社會)．Though working gives them few chances of getting married, many men still want to marry them in the old ways．

　　At 9 a.m.on October 15, 2003, our country launched(發(fā)射)its first manned(有人的)space-ship, Shenzhou Ⅴ, into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province．It took Yang Liwei and his spaceship about 21 hours to circle the earth 14 times．Yang Liwei is China’s first astronaut．He comes from Liaoning Province, and he has been an air force pilot(飛行員)since 1983．He was chosen from 14 pilots after many difficult tests．

　　“I’m feeling very good in space, and it looks wonderful here,” said Yang, “I have looked at our beautiful earth and I have recorded all that I have seen here．”
