Online shopping is coming into fashion in most cities, where people are able to make full use of the rapidly—developed internet technology. Nowadays, can we find a person {#blank#}1{#/blank#} has not experienced online shopping? Definitely not.

    Online shopping {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(welcome)by most people due to various reasons. From the perspective of consumers, it can save some time for people who don't have much spare time. Just click the mouse, they can get {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they want while staying at home. For the retailers(零售商), it can cut some costs for those who don't have much circulating funds. Compared with the traditional trade mode, they don't have to spend money {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(rent) a house. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, there are still some disadvantages in online shopping. First, a face-to-face deal makes online shopping less reliable and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(believe). Second, people will lose {#blank#}7{#/blank#}fun of bargaining（讨价还价）.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}is clear that shopping on the internet has become a popular trend in modern society. It's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}great importance that we need to make the relative laws in accordance with(与…一致) the rapid growth of online shopping. Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(convenient)of online shopping without the concern of being cheated.

    Overhead bridges are now very common in cities. They are often built in places {#blank#}1{#/blank#}traffic is heavy and crossing the road is very dangerous.

    Overhead bridges are used in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} same way as zebra crossing. They both serve a very useful purpose－to allow people{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (cross) the road safely and prevent unnecessary accidents and the loss of life. However, overhead  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (bridge) are more efficient when compared with zebra crossing. When people are crossing a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the other hand, overhead bridges can help people cross the street without disturbing the traffic. One disadvantage of overhead bridges is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people have to climb up steps. This is not very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (convenience), especially to old people.

    Many overhead bridges {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (build) over the years. For their own safety, people should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their life by {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (run) across the road. Old people may find {#blank#}10{#/blank#} difficult to climb up and down the steps, but at least it is much safer than walking across a road filled with dangerous moving traffic.

In 1990, over 100 countries signed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory, which is mainly used for jewelry. Most ivory is made from the tusks(象牙) of African elephants. These tusks are {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(terrible) valuable—one pair is worth more than three times the income of an African farmer or a factory worker in a year.

    Hunting elephants was so profitable {#blank#}3{#/blank#}from 1979 to 1989 the number of elephants in Africa fell from 1.3 million to 600,000. It was feared that by the year 2020 there would be none {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(leave). However, thanks{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the international agreement, there {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) much less illegal hunting since 1990.

    But considering {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(vary) of aspects, it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants. Games wardens (看守人) must be hired to protect them. Land must be set aside for them, and when they destroy a farmer's crops, the farmer must {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(pay) compensation.(赔偿金)

    Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally. This would help keep the population stable, and selling the ivory would help pay for preserving the elephants. But conservationists say that {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(make) ivory legal to sell would lead to even more illegal hunting. Others say {#blank#}10{#/blank#}is wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals that feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants.

    Fu Xuewei, a 25-year-old girl from Chengdu, China {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（recent）shared a beautiful set of wedding photos on the Internet. However, there's a debate on the photographs {#blank#}2{#/blank#} no groom（新郎）seems to be found in the photos. In fact, the only people featured in the photos are Ms. Fu and her 87-year-old grandfather.

    Despite having no plans of getting married anytime soon, Fu decided {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（wear）the wedding dress for her grandfather. The man fell seriously ill last September, with doctors warning that he could pass away{#blank#}4{#/blank#} any time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fear) he might never get to fulfill the dream of walking her down to the Mr. Right, Fu arranged the surprise photo shoot. Keeping her plans a secret, she took {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（she）grandfather for a regular hospital check-up, only to reveal that they were going to take pictures later and he agreed.

    Ms. Fu {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（raise）by her grandparents from the age of ten,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes them mean a lot to her. She insists on taking care of them in return. The young woman even{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（have）a tattoo（纹身）of her grandfather. "I had my grandfather's appearance tattooed on my arm because I want all my new {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（friend）to know what he looks like in the future," she said.

    I often help my mom cook and baked chicken is my favorite thing to make. One day, when mom was sick, I tried to make the chicken all by myself. I washed the chicken and put it in a pan in the oven {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bake). When the bell rang to tell me the chicken was done, I opened the oven door. Guess what? The chicken was not cooked! I started to laugh. I forgot to turn {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the oven! Did you know what I did next? I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (order) pizza. Mom was happy I "cooked" by myself and we could eat the pizza together.
