This October, the interact celebrated its 40th birthday. In the past 40 years, this great invention has changed our lives in many ways, including our shopping habits.
*A big attraction.
Not long ago, I became an online shopper. I had heard about online shopping before, but I had no intention of following the trend. It was not until my room bought some cosmetics via the internet and both morn and I tried them and were satisfied with the purchase that I finally decided to register for Taobao, China’ s leading e-commerce website. Soon, I found cyberspace to be a shopping paradise. There are a lot of cheap daily necessities such as clothes, books, stationery etc. Lots of choices, lower of prices and great convenience making shopping online a big attraction.
*A new platform.
Generally speaking, I’m satisfied with goods I’ ve bought online, but it doesn’t means that I can fully trust e-shopping. On many BBS forums online shoppers bitterly condemn a few e-shops for selling low-quality goods and cheating them of their money. Since no one likes being cheated, some people have turned to a new platform for e-shopping. They have started to buy and sell goods via social net-working websites--for example, two of my classmates have recently set up an e-store on Renren to sell colored contact lenses. (镜片)There is little risk of being cheated, since the sellers are the people we know well.
*A good suggestion
Although there are many advantages of doing business via social networking websites, I think it’s improper for high school students to do business with schoolmates.
First, doing business means shouldering huge responsibilities, and we’ re not mature enough to have them. Second, our present main task is studying, when doing business is pretty time-consuming. Third, if you are dissatisfied with what you’ ve bought from your friends, what will you do If you retum your purchases, you may hurt your friends’ feelings; if you keep silent, you may not feel happy. Shakespeare once said, "To be or not to be, that’ s a question. " If you don’ t want to face such problems, please follow suggestion: be careful when shopping online and don’ t make profits from friendship.

A:a few e-shoppers sell low-quality goods and cheat customers of money B:the goods In e-shops are too expensive for customers to buy C:there are few choices of necessities for people to make D:some people have turned to a new platform for e-shopping

In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in household goods, sometimes even in clothes.
The furniture may often be "antique" and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable pieces will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished(擦亮的) wooden boxes and tables, you can’t help thinking sadly of those long—dead hands which polished that wood, of those now—closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.
The books, too, may be antique and very valuable; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move to a new place his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which was once only a sheep market, but which has now become a huge bookshop as well. And now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.
Although the British do not worship their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are restored until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured(珍藏) for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.

A:may have had many former owners B:is on sale mainly in London salerooms C:has usually been polished before being sold D:has usually been rejected
