Online banks are sometimes referred to as "brick-to-click" banks, both to tell them from "brick-to-mortar" banks that haven't yet offered online banking, as well as from "virtual"（虚拟）banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever.The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe , fully functional（功能的）online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines (ATM).Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they're at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they're a mouse click away. If you're out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm （确认）deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively24The underline word "eliminate" in paragraph 1 means Aremove Bkeep Craise Dimprove25According to the passage, the challenge for the online banking industry is ATo offer online banking for freeBTo make online banking attractiveCTo open new services all over the worldDTo take care of business 24 hours a day26What can we learn from the passage?ACustomers can deal with their banking by a mouse clickB"Brick-to-click" banks are in fact another kind of physical banksCA "brick-to-mortar" bank is no better than a virtual oneDThe function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as that of an ATM27What is the best title for the passage?ABanking of Various Forms BImprovement of Banking Industry CFunctions of the "Brick-to-Click" BankDDevelopment of Online BankingCShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many peopleShy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned with their own appearance and actions too muchNegative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making?

It's the third time the Chinese women's team has won gold in this event, with victories success in 2004.Serbia actually got off to the better start in the final match. They jumped out to a 12-7 lead in first set and never fully let go of it, eventually cruising to a 25-19 win and a 1-0 advantage. China wasted no time bouncing back, though, taking an 8-4 lead in the second set and eventually running away with a 25-17 victory to even the match at 1-1.The next two sets were much closer, but the Chinese came out on top each time. They grabbed a commanding 19-11 lead in the third set, but they let Serbia creep back into it by narrowing the score down to 22-21. China recovered, though, to take four of the next five points and a 25-22 decision. The fourth set was a seesaw (跷跷板）- there were 15 ties, and no team took a lead of more than three points at any time. The score eventually knotted at 20, and then again at 21, 22, and 23, before China secured the final two points to win the set and the match.With the victory, Chinese coach "Jenny" Lang Ping became the first person to win Olympic gold as both a coach and a player.
