　　Never give up

　　We often hear people say, “never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to ___31__ his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my ____32__ the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

　　and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new __36__ . Another ___37___ why we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new___38___ . If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and the confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never __39___ ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.

　　In short, it is important that we should not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we will have no __40__ of attaining our goals, but if we will trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

　　Which gender is the most talkative? No matter what you answer, you are partially right.

　　A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.

　　In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.

　　They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with theirs wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.

　　The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.

　　Local businessmen are increasingly facing competition from on line retailers. Larry Oollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues, which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.

　　“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.

　　Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.

　　“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it online,” he said.

　　According to the state comptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.

　　In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility , said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “ You have a larger selection and it’s easier to compare prices.”

　　Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping online.

　　“ Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping online I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping online saved me from having to buy from Dell.”

　　Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.

　　“I’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.

　　Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information online no matter how safe the site claims it is.

　　56. Larry Pollock has been facing the problem __________.

　　A. before long

　　B. after the Internet

　　C. since there were mail-order catalogues

　　D. since he worked as a businessman

　　57. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?

　　A. Traditional business can provide valuable services to customers
