“Who needs a shopping mall（购物中心）if you have Taobao?" says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.

    Taobao, China's largest online shopping site（网上购物网站）, has become an important part of Wang Lin's life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

    A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop online than men; Clothing and home-use products are the most popular on line.

    It was reported that more than 250 billion (十亿) yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.

    Taobao means "looking for treasure" in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.

    You may question the security of online shopping, Wang Lin said, "It's very safe and convenient. Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”

Solomon said，"I have always taken funny pictures even before Zoe was born. When she came along I wanted to include her so that one day she can look back at funny memories with her dad. "

When Mrs. Gullickson was assigning (分配) a partner to us for a project, I 1 I could work with my friend or someone I could have fun with. Unluckily, I was told that I would work with that serious guy I didn't like working with.

Although I was not pleased with the result, I 2 tried my best to get on well with my partner. However, He looked at me as if I weren't there. He made me think I might mess up (搞糟) our 3 .

At first, our study on this task didn't go well because I was not 4 when talking with him about the difficult work. I even wanted to give up, but 5 this thought soon because I wanted to show I wouldn't chicken out (退缩).

After many talks, we somehow 6 our plans. I had to say he pushed ahead with most of the project. 7 he did let me join in it as much as I could, which gave me more confidence. I guessed I could see 8 Mrs. Gullickson paired him with me.

One day I knew that he was sent to hospital for a serious illness when the final presentation (汇报) was coming. I shared my 9 about the final presentation, but he told me "You can make it". 

I finally got the A-plus grade for our team. He thanked me for my hard work and I thought I was so 10 to be his partner. We were glad that we had got closer, both on study and relationship.
