Shopping online Internet retailer AMAZON. COM on Wednesday released a rare and revealing peek at its customers’ shopping habits, taken from a September e-mail poll of 2,072 customers of its French, German and United kingdom sites. The company said the research was done in the name of improving customer service. "We have to learn from the nuances and idiosyncrasies of each nation’s shopping habits to see how we can serve our customers better this Christmas, "said Robin Terrell, managing director of Amazon. co. uk. The findings paint a unique picture of the shopping habits of the world’s largest online retailer, plus their motivation and preferences. For instance, the round-the-clock convenience of e-commerce ranked above price as the prime motivating factor for online shoppers, the company said. And more purchases are made from home than work. According to the poll results, 31 percent of shoppers plunk down their credit card during work hours, against 67 percent at home or in a home office. The notable exception is Ireland, where 46 percent of shoppers polled do so while at their office desk. The British are the second worst offenders, with 40 percent admitting to on-the-job shopping, while the Danes are the most honorable, with one in five making a purchase while on the job. At 53 percent, the majority of Europeans shop in the evenings at home. Austrians and Germans are the most avid night owl shoppers, with 63 percent and 62 percent, respectively, reporting this habit. The Germans, though, are the least likely group to shop online after 10 p. m., the study said. Other findings include: the French and British are most active shoppers with three in 10 visiting e-commerce sites more than 10 times per month; and the Irish have the greatest concentration of shopaholics—one in ten hit the cyber—shops more than 20 times a month, twice the European average. In contrast, just 1 percent of Italians polled shop online more than 20 times per month. The least active group are the Dutch, with 25 percent reporting they shop online once a month or less. But among the senior set, Dutch "silver surfers"—Internet users above the age of 50—shop online 20 percent of the time, Amazon said. The French, meanwhile, like to get an early and late crack at online shopping with 18 percent logging on after 10 p.m. and 11 before 10 a. m., the company said. And what about the Swedes According to the survey, the Swedes are most likely among those polled to buy something they hadn’t planned on purchasing. What, according to this passage, is the prime motivating factor for online shoppers

Applied Research Why does the Foundation concentrate its support on basic rather than applied research Basic research is the very heart of science, and its cumulative product is the capital of scientific progress, a capital that must be constantly increased as the demands upon its rise. The goal of basic research is understanding for its own sake. Understanding of the structure of the atom or the nerve cell, the explosion of a spiral nebula (螺旋星) or the distribution of cosmic dust, the causes of earthquakes and droughts, or of man as a behaving creature and of the social forces that are created whenever two of more human beings come into contact with one another—the scope is staggering, but the commitment to truth is the same. If the commitment were to a particular result, conflicting evidence might be overlooked or, with the best will in the world, simply not appreciated. Moreover, the practical applications of basic research frequently cannot be anticipated. When Roentgen, the physicist, discovered X-rays, he had no idea of their usefulness to medicine. Applied research, undertaken to solve specific practical problems, has an immediate attractiveness because the results can be seen and enjoyed. For practical reasons, the sums spent on applied research in any country always far exceed those for basic research, and the proportions are more unequal in the less developed countries. Leaving aside the funds devoted to research by industry—which is naturally far more concerned with applied aspects because these profits quickly—the funds the U.S. Government allots to basic research currently amount to about seven percent of its overall research and developments funds. Unless adequate safeguards are provided, applied research invariably tends to drive out basic. Then, so Dr. Waterman has pointed out, development will inevitably be undertaken prematurely(过早的), career incentives will gravitate strongly toward applied science, and the opportunities for making major scientific discoveries will be lost. Unfortunately, pressures to emphasize new developments, without corresponding emphasis upon pure science. Tend to degrade the quality of the nation’s technology in the long run, rather than to improve it. Industry is primarily concerned with applied researches because it can bring immediate profits.

Art experts want the UN to rescue this 2, 100-year-old hoard of gold antiquities, called the Treasure of Bactria, before it is destroyed or the Tableban melt it down. What is remarkable is that the 20,000 or more gold statues, necklaces and ornaments set with precious stones have survived for so long in a city scarred by years of war. Rumors swirl around the bazaars of the capital about what the Taleban has done with the treasure, which was excavated from a royal burial site in northern Afghanistan by a Soviet team during the Soviet Union’s occupation. The team described how the 20,000 gold pieces included statues, necklaces, dress ornaments, hairpins and buckles deco rated with precious stones. There were also plaques decorated with jewels and a crown covered in pearls and turquoise. The treasure survived until its excavation in 1978. After that, the country’s former President Najibullah, sealed it in many trunks and hid them in a vault and protected by a steel door shut by seven locks with keys held by seven different people. At least three of the key holders are now dead, Mr. Najibullah included. Another popular fable circulating in Kabul is that the Russians have a duplicate set of the seven keys. Others claim that a traitor team of Soviet troops broke into the vault in the last hours before they abandoned Kabul and replaced some of the treasures with fakes. Now all anyone can say for sure is that the treasure was last seen and inspected by international archaeologists in 1993. when the safe was opened to clarify rumors that the Afghans had sold it. UNESCO says that it has given the Americans a map so that its bombers can avoid vital cultural sites, which include the vault in the presidential palace and other places, where other museum treasures are stored. There are many in Kabul who say the Taleban have already handed the treasure to Osama Bin Laden. Robert Kluyver, of the Society for the Preservation of Afghanistan’s Cultural Heritage, was told recently that Bin Laden had arranged for it to be smuggled across the mountains to Pakistan in March where dealers awaited his orders to sell it. What is special about the treasures
