    Shopping on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Why do people use the Internet to shop? Some people say it is more convenient. They don't have to leave their homes to order something;    ①   ; they can find things for sale that they can't find in the stores near their homes.  ②   .

    If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit(信用) card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website and send them to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don't want someone to get your credit card number, so be careful with it, because people sometimes steal credit card numbers from stores.

    The Internet is also a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you look at the things for sale in a store, but don't plan to buy anything. In window-shopping you can see what kinds of things you are able to get and how much they cost. Some stores like Ross Stores have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores, and can shop on-line there, such as Office Depot, Payless Shoe Source, Safeway. Some stores like Amazon. com are only for on-line shopping.

    Once, when the food we ordered at a restaurant arrived, the first thing we wanted to do was to eat right away.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Others want to take at least five photos of their food to share on social media, such as Wechat.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} “Foodtography” has been around for longer than one would expect. Take US photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published many food photos taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully put salad ingredients or the cakes on stands(货 架), it would be easy to think Penn's 70-year-old photos were taken just last week.

    Besides Penn's efforts, it seems that social media is behind the recent rise of foodtography.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}And the star posts just one delicious-looking food picture with the place where it was taken. It can bring hundreds of new customers for the restaurant.

    So while it's fun to share pictures of delicious dishes with your friends, just remember the most important thing:{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

A. Don't forget to eat your meal afterwards.

B. But now, some people just want to eat their meal.

C. Today, a social media star may have thousands of fans.

D. In fact, taking pictures before meals is not a recent thing.

    When you stay away from your home for a long time, you start to miss your good old bed, your good old parents… Believe it or not, you're feeling homesick. You can help yourself to feel less homesick. Here's how:

    What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important to let others get to know what we think and how we feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren't open with others, we won't fully believe in ourselves or others.

    Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements(陈述句) and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, "I feel happy that you're here." instead of "Are you glad that you're here?" Finally, try not to say, "I don't know." This usually means I don't want to think about it any more.

    Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don't know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel every uncomfortable at times.

    In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people，but we'd better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.

    Mr Jones was ninety, so it was difficult for him to remember things. But he still liked travelling very much, so he and his wife went to Spain for a holiday every year. (One summer when they were there, they went to visit some friends. One of them had two daughters.

    One afternoon Mr Jones was talking with one of the girls in the garden after lunch. "You and your sister were badly ill when my wife and I were here last year, weren't you?" He said to her.

    "Yes, we were," answered the girl. "We were badly ill." The old man said nothing for a moment, because he was thinking. Then at last he said, "Oh, yes, I remember now! One of you died. Which one of you was it, you or your sister?"

    The girl answered, "It was me."

    "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," said the old man.
