Broadband technology is seen as the key to the new digital economy. In this rapidly changing world, media and technology information can be sent via phone calls and downloaded like music, graphics, business information or films. The simpler the information, the smaller the package and the narrower the bandwidth needed to deliver it. Broadband is used for high speed Internet connections at a fixed monthly rate. It turns an exciting telephone line into a high speed digital line capable of carrying data up to 5 times conventional modem speeds. Any download is available at the click of a mouse-there is no dial-up as there is with standard Internet Service Providers. For home owners and families there are many advantages. One of the most important is simultaneous access to both telephone lines and the Internet. No ques and no delay. For businesses, broadband can improve customer relations and provide direct access to corporate e-malls and databases. Entire operations can go online. The function that broadband technology has on the new digital economy is ______.
A. further
B. critical
C. costly
D. global

Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivates many children to buy products-or to ask their parents to buy for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has" Economy Size" or "Family Size" printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. "... a buyer will get something for nothing" in Paragraph 2 may probably mean ______.
A. a buyer will not get what he pays for
B. a buyer will get more than what he pays for
C. a buyer will get something useful free of charge
D. a buyer will get more but pay less
