广东省深圳市福田区外国语学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中调研英语试卷
Getting a present is super exciting-imagine opening a box to find something cool and just for you. Now, imagine if you could get the same feeling when you go shopping for yourself.
Mystery boxes are not a new idea. Inside, you' ll find lots of different things, all sold cheaper than what they' re worth together. The key thing is that customers don't know what's in the box before they buy. There are all kinds of mystery boxes: fashion boxes, food boxes and so on.
In addition, they let you try new things you might not have. For example,a seasonal vegetable box could teach you to cook new meals. The total price of what's inside is usually more than what you paid. Stores like them too because they can sell unwanted things and still make a profit.
When you buy a mystery box, you don't know what you' ll get! Sometimes, you might not like what's inside. Someone might even put in cheap things that' re not worth the box's price.
While mystery boxes can be fun and save money, there's always a chance you might not like what you get. It's important to be prepared for both good and bad surprises. Remember to shop wisely and enjoy the excitement of opening a mystery box!
A. They can also possibly offer great savings.
B. However, there is a key disadvantage to mystery boxes.
C That's the feeling that mystery boxes hope to provide.

F. The idea of mystery boxes has developed greatly over time.
