根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 1. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 2.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct(本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 3. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
4. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 5. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended（冒犯）. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital(婚姻的) status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
B. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
C. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
D. Everyone was new to the network once.
E. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
G. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
An old woman diverted (转移 ) attention from the book when I was sitting in my car. She walked slowly towards my parked car with a large shoulder bag. She stopped and put a hand out to rest against the car. She gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Was there a way I could do anything to help her? But I wondered if the lady noticed me sitting inside the car, she would feel embarrassed and walk away.
I stilled my body while my mind searched for answers. I turned my head towards my driver, wanting him to ask the lady if we could give her a ride. Because of my head movement, she noticed me and moved her hand away from the car. Her calm expression changed to a cautious one. I grabbed the water bottle next to me, smile, gently opened the door and offered the bottle to her. She looked at me hesitatingly, shook her head with downcast (低垂的) eyes and walked away.
I was so annoyed with myself. I should have been more careful not to move. However, she was back I opened the door and patted the seat next to me. She sat down, opened her bag and offered me a banana. I took it and offered her the water bottle again. She took it. I ate, she drank and we smiled. She rested for a couple of minutes.
Those minutes brought such tranquility (宁静) to me. She took my head in both her hands and kissed my forehead, and then she left. I was trying to help someone in distress(不幸，苦恼). In turn, I became distressed and she took away my distress and replace it with tranquility.

Stubbornness（固执，执着） can push a business to hold on but can also kill your business if it keeps stopping you.
Because I’m stubborn. I chased my dream of creating a pet-food company that sells what it claims to sell and not some unidentifiable substance in a dressed-up bag. Originally we packed our foods in transparent bags, which became our guiding philosophy.
To start the company in 2003, I visited every pet-food store in Manhattan and some outside the city. By 2006 Stella&Chewy’s was sold in 250 stores, mostly in New York City. In 2007 I moved the company to Wisconsin, with our earnings reaching almost $500,000 that year．But getting my product into stores was just the beginning. We were competing against much bigger pet-food companies whose monthly marketing budgets were more than our yearly sales. So we invested in advertisements and a website and even stood on sidewalks giving our samples.
With more customers came more feedback (反馈意见), much of which I ignored, I was also receiving complaints about ice crystals (冰晶) on the food, which form when the air temperature changes during transport. For this reason, most frozen foods are packaged in opaque (不透明的) bags or boxes. Studies have proved that ice crystals have little effect on either the quality or the taste of the food. So I ignored the complaints. After all, we were better than our competitors that wouldn’t even show their products. We didn’t hide anything.
In 2007 our sales kept growing, but not as fast as those of our competitors. We were told that new consumers were choosing products packaged in opaque bags. When I visited the stores and forced myself to consider my products objectively, I had to degree: The ice crystals reduced the look I wanted. The food looked as if a snowstorm had hit the inside of the bag.
We switched to opaque bags and tried to make ice crystals smaller. Customers responded: In 2009 Stella$Chewy’s was sold in 2,500 stores across the country.
1.At the beginning, the author’s company packaged their foods in transparent bags to ________.
A. make their foods seen clearly

2.Why did the author have people stand on sidewalks giving out samples?
A. Because advertising and marketing on the website didn’t work.
B. Because no one knew his company’s products in Wisconsin.
C. Because he should use this way to save money due to the limited budget.
D. Because he attempted to use all means to compete with other companies.
3.According to the passage, ice crystals _________.
A. only appear on frozen food
B. may make pets feel uncomfortable
C. won’t form if the foods are transported well
D. almost don’t affect the quality of pet foods
4.The author’s experience mainly shows that ________.
A. stubborn people won’t simply give up
B. stubbornness can make people succeed or fail
C. the road leading to success is full of difficulties
D. meeting customers’ need is important to a company’s success
