Probably all of us have ordered something online, or many things. Online shopping and e-Commerce has become a major industry all over the world. Especially since the covid-19 outbreak Today, we're going to look at the advantages and disadvantages of shopping online.

It’s convenient This is easily the biggest reason. People can buy their favourite products from their own living room. If we see that we’re missing some food in our house, we can order it and have it delivered（传送）to our office the next day. What's more, since everything takes place online, it's easier for companies to let you know whether the products are on sale or how cheap they are. This keeps customers coming back to the same products and the same brands.

We can stay away from the crowds. This seems especially important during this epidemic（疫情期间）because we can easily keep ourselves far away from the crowds in stores if we order everything online. It turns out to be the safest way to avoid contact with the virus.

However, some people still prefer to do some shopping in brick-and-mortar store（实体店）.If our phone charger breaks, we may need to go out and buy another one right away. Delivery times are getting faster and fester, but sometimes we just can't afford to wait.

We can't try anything on. This may not matter for foods or electronics, what about clothes you don't fit? It becomes inconvenient because we have to send them back and wait for new ones. Besides, if we have a question about a product we want to order or we already ordered, we may have to wait up a day to get any response. However, this has improved a lot in recent years.

?4. Which are the advantages of shopping online?

1. Wait for delivery.  b. Call the sellers. c. Buy products cheaply.

d. Save time and be easy.   e. Keep safe from the virus.

A. a, b, c     B. b, d, e    C. a, c, d     D. c, d, e

35. What does the underlined word “them'' in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. Foods.    B. Electronics.    C. Clothes.    D. School things.

36. The writer's purpose of writing this passage is ____________ .

A. to explain how to shop online

On New Year's Day, Shruti was sad because she had just fought with her best friend Preeti. Shruti went to her favourite sweet shop and Uncle Shambu, the owner of the shop, didn't fail to notice the sad and angry look on her face. He asked, "What's the matter?

Did you fight with Bunty again?”

Shruti considered Uncle Shambu as her friend, so she started telling him about what was troubling her. “It isn't Bunty this time. It’s Preeti. She's my best friend. I fought with her this morning. And now we're not talking.”

With a gentle smile on his face, Uncle Shambu said, “Let me ask you a question. I own this sweet shop here, so do you think that I have to go elsewhere to buy sweets?”

Shaking her head, Shruti said, “No. ____▲____, I get new clothes easily without going anywhere else since my dad runs a clothes shop.”

"So, it means that we never fall short of things that we sell in our store,” Uncle Shambu said. “Why don't you open your own store of happiness? In this way, you will never fall short of happiness.”

“Wow! That sounds fun! But how do I do that?” asked Shruti.

"It's simple. From the time you wake up, you should only give happiness to others. Do not give unhappiness to anyone,” Uncle Shambu explained.

“But I don't understand. How do I give happiness to others? I'm too young for it” said Shruti.

“You're young. So what? If you help Bunty with his studies, let him play your games, help your mother with housework and give food and clothes to those in need, then how would you feel? Won't you feel happy about helping others?” said Uncle Shambu. Shruti's face immediately lit up with joy and went home happily.

A few days later, Shmti came to the shop again. MUncle Shambu, Fm so thankful to you. I never knew what it felt like to share our happiness with others. I promise you that I will keep sharing happiness with others in whichever way I can." Hearing this, Uncle Shambhu gave her a handful of sweets as a gift. He wished her to be happy and may her “store of happiness” run successfully always.

James Cameron, the famous explorer(探测家)and movie director, traveled to the deepest point of the Mariana Trench~the Challenger Deep on March 26,2012. At about 11,000 meters below sea level, this is the deepest point on Earth. Since childhood, Cameron has wanted to explore the ocean. Now he has reached the deepest point in the ocean.

The Mariana Trench is perhaps the most separate place on the planet. Because of its extreme depth, the pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is very strong. The temperature is just a few degrees above freezing, and the place is always in darkness. Two explorers went there in 1960, but Cameron was the first to film this strange, dark place.

For this difficult exploration, Cameron traveled in a submersible(潜水器)called the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER It was 7.3 meters (24 feet) long and 1.09 meters (43 inches) wide-so small that Cameron could hardly move. Yet the sub was powerful enough to reach the bottom of the ocean in just about two hours and forty minutes and ascend(上升)in seventy minutes! In the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER, Cameron spent three hours filming the bottom of the ocean while its mechanical arms picked up rocks and animals.

We know less about the deepest points on our planet than we do about the surface of Mars. But the what Cameron collected will give scientists a lot of information. When they analyze the rocks, they might discover more about the shape of the land and the earthquakes that cause tsunamis. And by studying the organisms(生物)that survive there, perhaps scientists can even learn more about how life began!

42.From the passage we can know that Mariana Trench is a place where ____________.

A. rocks look unusual             B. most sea animals can hardly live

C. explorers have never came before D. scientists have done a lot of research

43.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Cameron first filmed the underwater world in 1960.

B.Cameron collected a lot of information for the scientists.

C.Cameron reached the deepest point m the ocean with his team.

D.Cameron spent seventy minutes filming the bottom of the ocean.

14. What does the writer think of Cameron's discovery?

A. It's valuable.      B. It’s common.

C. It’s strange.      D. It's simple.

15. What’s the best title for this passage?

A.Importance of the discovery

B.Life of James Cameron

C. Facts about Mariana Trench

D. Journey to the Bottom of the Earth
