46、r any business trying to operate onlineand today that includes, one way or another, most firms. The commercial opportunities presented by an expanding global web seem almost limitless. But the pace of change is rapid, and so is the ferocity of competition. To succeed, firms need agility, an open min
47、d and the ability to reinvent themselves repeatedly. Most of all, they need to listen carefully to their customers, paying close attention to what they do and dont want.Such qualities, of course, would be valuable in any kind of business. Yet for online firms they are not a luxury, but necessary for
48、 mere survival. This is true for a variety of reasons. The internet is not only growing, but changing rapidlywhich, in turn, changes the rules of the game for any business relying on it. The barriers to entry are still low compared with those for most offline businesses, which means that just keepin
49、g track of your existing rivals is not enough. These may not represent the greatest competitive threat tomorrow or the next day. That could come from a number of directionsa firm in a different type of online business; one that does not yet exist; or even from one of your own customers. On top of al
50、l this, the behavior of many consumers is constantly changing as well, as individuals discover new ways to shop and interact with each other via the web.All these factors make the internet a dangerous place to do business, as well as one full of promise. eBays history demonstrates both of those thin
51、gs. It is probably safe to say that nothing like eBay could have existed without the internetor could have grown so fast. Even though there have been signs of the firms blistering pace slowing a bit in America, its most “mature” market, there remain vast opportunities overseas, particularly, some ar

66、案基础写作Yours Li Hua 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）Teenagers Secrets Should be Shared with Their ParentsMany teenagers have their own secrets but their parents always want to know them, which will probably hurt childrens feelings. As a result, they wont like to share their secrets with their parents. （33w） Oppositel
67、y, I insist that teenagers secrets, if not at all, should be shared by their parents. For one thing, parents are the closest relatives in the world, who, trying every possible means to do good to the young, should be respected and trusted. For another, lack of experience, teenagers need some help an
68、d support in making decisions or solving problems. If many of the secrets are kept to children themselves, they may do unimaginable harm in the long run. Speaking from my experience, I always let my parents know my secrets, like a close friend. In return they appreciate my attitude so much that they are always ready to offer me valuable advice, which benefits me a lot in this special time of development.
