online shopping is growing rapidly in China, and more and more Chinese are buying books online. At the same time, traditional bookstores are facing new challenges. A medium sized bookstore in downtown Beijing is going out of business. A lot of its books are on sale. Bookstore owner Wang Jian says hot sales of books on the Internet pushes him to change the way he does business.
China has the highest online book buying rate in the world. There are all kinds of books online. about 63 percent of Chinese Internet users have made online purchase and 56 percent of the purchasers have bought reading materials. More than years ago, dangdang.com became the first online bookseller（零售商）, and is now one of the main forces in the Chinese online book market.
Facing this challenge, Xinhua Bookstore, the leading Chinese chain bookstore, also established its online store several years ago, but with a much smaller business scale, Zhang Jian, CEO of the Xinhuabookstore.com, says now they are enlarging their online services.
A fierce price war is taking shape between traditional bookstores and online bookstores and their online rivals. Faced with the low-cosplayt advantage of online bookstores, traditional ones can do nothing but lower their prices. At the same time, online bookstores are also starting price wars between each other. For example, amazon. Com and dangdang. com are two main forces in the online book market. Customers can frequently find certain books have a 50 percent discount（打折）on one website and 51 percent off the other.
With online bookstores matching each others discounts and convenient shopping services, some traditional bookstores are trying their best to keep customers in their own way. They exhibit books better and provide a very relaxing reading environment in the bookstore. For example, customers can read with the books in their hands, which an online bookstore can’t provide. Even though, traditional bookstores can hardly compete with some of the advantages of online bookstores, for example 24-hour service.
What makes Wang Jian change the way he does business?
The small sales of his book.
The tiring work of selling kooks
The high cosplayt of operating the bookstore
The lack of resources of bringing in books
What did Xinhua Bookstore do when facing the high online book buying rate?
It opened more branch bookstore.
It brought in the latest published books.
It opened a store on the Internet
It enlarged the types of books
The underlined word “rivals” in the fourth paragraph of this passage means” “
合伙人 B. 顾客 C. 代理人 D. 对手
To attract buyers, traditional bookstores and online bookstores both choose to
Lower the prices of books
Provide 24-hour service
Offer relaxing reading areas
Exhibit books in a better way
We can know from the passage that
Traditional bookstores will break up sooner or later
Dangdang. com is the first website selling books in China
More and more people will start bookstores on the Internet
Most of the purchasers who buy books online are youngesters

Is there a reason why many dog owners are unsuccessful in training their dog? Yes! Most people don’t start dog training early enough. When a dog is a puppy, it is more willing to accept training. The longer the training is delayed, the harder it is to train the dog.
There are three common dog training secrets that a dog owner needs to know to make dog training more effective.
Use positive reinforcement to teach your dog to behave well. This will tell the dog that it’s behaving the way you want. Use food like pieces of chicken to reward your dog when it has done a task correctly.
Don’t confuse your dog. Be consistent（一致） with your orders and actions when you teach your dog. For example, if your dog urinate on the floor, act on it immediately. Punishing is 15 minutes after the event will prove nothing. The dog doesn’t know why you are punishing it and it may have learnt that going to the toilet inside the house is OK.
Show your dog attention as soon as you get home. If your dog is excited at first, leave it alone till it calms down. If it jumps on you, turn your back on it and in a loud voice say “No!” Give your dog attention when it calms down.
Most important of all, make sure that you don’t send your dog mixed signals.
For more information on dog training secrets, check out “Secrets of Dog Training” on channel III and it deals with all the problems of dog ownership.
