With the ever-increasing ppularity f nline shpping, users’ reviews are becming mre and mre imprtant. Given that yu can't actually tuch, see, smell r hear the prduct yu’re buying nline, these reviews will prvide yu with valuable infrmatin n the prduct itself. But hw far can yu trust them?
Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I tk sme friends t a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews n a fd website. Hwever, the service was awful and we were ignred mst f the time. Later, I wrte a review n the same site nly t be tld that the review site wner wuld nt accept any bad reviews — nly the gd nes.”
S, hw can yu get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few tp tips. “If there are nly a few reviews f a place, there is a gd chance they have been planted by friends r enemies. If there are many reviews, start by drpping the mst extreme cmments. Als, watch ut fr similarities in style between reviews frm peple with different user names, particularly if thse reviews were placed abut the same time. The best thing is t lk fr reviewers wh shw sme relevant knwledge f the prduct they are reviewing.”
Sme cmpanies seem t be cntributing t the prblem. A publishing huse ffered gift vuchers (购物礼券) t anyne wh wuld give their textbk a five-star review. But nt all nline cmpanies perate like this. “Amazn wrks hard t keep the cmpleteness f its custmer reviews,” said a spkespersn fr the cmpany. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a custmer reprts a review that he feels is inapprpriate, we check, and may take it dwn.”
S, next time yu see that five-star review fr smething yu want t buy, be aware — it culd be the wrk f a false reviewer!

10. What reviews f prducts are useful?
A. Thse by cmpetitrs.B. Thse by different users.
C. Thse with gd cmments.D. Thse with related infrmatin.
11. Hw des Amazn deal with the custmer reviews?

I was in my rm, unwilling t head t the cmmunity theatre with “my brther” Henry. He was just adpted by my parents recently. I was nt in the md fr being nstage with him.
“Kristie, cme here,” my mm called. Fllwing her vice, I fund her utside the bathrm, hlding a wet bk. She gave the bk a shake. “Henry’s bk was in the bathtub. Did yu put it there?” She glared at me—smething she never did befre Henry came t ur hme. I didn’t wet his bk n purpse. Tears f hurt cluded my eyes. Wrse still, she prmised t buy him a new cpy.

Be kind t him, Hney.” I ndded but sighed. Being kind didn’t use t be hard. But after Henry mved in, everything felt different. The theatre used t be a special place fr my parents and me. With Henry invlved, it didn’t seem s special any mre.
Finally, it was ur stage time. My heart beat wildly. I frgt my annyance at Henry fr a while. As we kids lined up, ready t act ut ur shrt play, I realized hw lsely I had tied the drawstring (束带) n my skirt. Sure enugh, my skirt began t drp. Laughter frm the audience culd be heard, and even thugh I was wearing shrts under my skirt, I culd feel my face burst int flames. Hwever, my hands were full. If nly smene culd help me ut!
