单选题For common gifts, necessity makes pertinence and beauty every day, and one is glad when an imperative leaves him no option: since if the man at the door has no shoes, you have not to consider whether you could procure him a paint-box. And it is always pleasing to see a man eat bread, or drink water, in the house or out of doors, so it is always a great satisfaction to supply these first wants. Necessity does everything well. In our condition or universal dependence it seem heroic to let the petitioner be the judge of his necessity, and to give all that is asked, though at great inconvenience. If it be a fantastic desire, it is better to leave to others the office of punishing him. I can think of many parts I should prefer playing to that of the Furies(复仇三女神). Next to things of necessity, the rule for a gift, which one of my friends prescribed, is that we might convey to some person that which properly belonged to his character, and was easily associated with him in thought. But our tokens of compliment and love are for the most part barbarous. Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of yourself. You must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings him poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing. This is right and pleasing, for it restores society in so far to the primary basis, when a man"s biography is conveyed in his gift, and every man"s wealth is an index of his merit. But it is a cold lifeless business when you go to the shops to buy me something which does not represent your life and talent, but a goldsmith"s. This is fit for kings, and rich men who represent kings, and a false state of property, to make presents of gold and silver stuffs, as a kind of symbolical sin-offering, or payment of blackmail.

The Future of E-Commerce Electronic commerce or E-Commerce has developed very rapidly in the last few years and has left some people wondering what it is all about. " Most people think E-Commerce is just about buying and selling things over the Internet. " E-Commerce is a broad term describing the electronic exchange of business data between two or more organizations" computers. Some examples might be the electronic filing of your income tax return, on-line services like Prodigy, and on-line billing for services or products received. E-Commerce also includes buying and selling any item over the Internet , electronic fund transfer, smart cards, and all other methods of conducting business over digital net-works.【R11】______ Electronic commerce was built on a foundation that was started more than 125 years ago with Western Union"s money transfer as an example of telegraph technology. In the early 1900s the advent of credit cards as a payment system revolutionized the process of automated commerce functions. In the mid 1980s the introduction of the ATM card was the latest improvement to electronic commerce. The Internet was conceived in 1969 when the Department of Defense began funding the research of computer networking. The Internet, as a means for commerce, did not become reality until the 1990s. Before this time, it was mainly a tool for the army, and a research device for some American universities. Its popularity grew when it proved to become a fast and efficient means to conduct long distance transactions, as well as an effective way to distribute information.【R12】______ Clearly, E-Commerce will change the face of business forever. Companies that are thousands of miles away can complete business transactions in a matter of seconds as well as exchange information. Without a doubt, the Internet is ushering in an era of sweeping change that will leave no business or industry untouched. In just three years, the Net has gone from a playground for nerds into a vast communications and trading center where some 90 million people swap information or do deals around the world.【R13】______ The primary advantage that E-Commerce possesses is speed. The Internet and World Wide Web give businesses opportunities to exchange messages or complete transactions almost instantaneously. By using the Internet, marketing, distribution, personnel, phone, postage and printing costs, among many others, can he reduced. You can start doing business in cyberspace for as little as $ 100. Cyberspace knows no national boundaries. That means you can do business all over the world as easily as you can in your own neighborhood.【R14】______ A potential source of trouble is customer concerns with privacy and security. The concern regarding Internet security and privacy is that unscrupulous hackers can capture credit card or checking account data as it is transferred or break into computers that hold the same information. E-Commerce is based on the assumption that the participants will pay for what they buy. There has been a noted reluctance among Internet users to actually pay, particularly for the digital goods and services. As a result, much of the current business on the Internet is funded using business models other than user-pays, primarily advertising and sponsorship.【R15】______ Rest assured the future of E-Commerce is intact and ever changing. "Like electricity, antibiotics, or the car, the Internet is a revolutionary technology. " It is quite evident that E-Commerce is only gaining speed. With Internet traffic doubling every 100 days the digital economy is alive and growing. The huge growth of virtual communities is causing shifts in economic power from large corporations to smaller businesses. With many of the technological advances in the banking, on-line trading and retail industries, E-Commerce will soon become the foundation of our life just as radio, telephone and television have in the past. With the steady growth of the Internet, and the fact that every year more and more families are plugging in and surfing the web, can a company survive without the use of the Internet and E-Com-merce? Probably, but not for long. The Internet and E-Commerce are here to stay, so businesses can either change with the times, or get left behind. The choice is theirs to make.
