Shopping used to mean actually going to shops, but nowadays, you can shop without even leaving your house. Just sit in front of your computer, click your mouse and your things will be sent to your house in a couple of days. You can also use your mobile phone to buy things you want.

November 11th is a big day for people who like shopping online. On that day last year, many online stores offered a big discount and free delivery service. The biggest online shopping sites in China,Taobao.com and Tmall.com ，sold things worth 19.1 billion yuan in total.

“Goods online are often much cheaper. It also saves me a lot of time. And we often have more goods on many online stores than in shopping malls,” Wang Xin, an online shopping lover in Beijing, said to China Daily. She stayed up very late for a lot of cheap goods online. She spent several thousand that day.

Another big advantage of online shopping is that it helps people get things from different cities, even different countries. “I like eating duck neck very much and I often buy it on Taobao from shops in Wuhan. It’s much more delicious than what our local (當(dāng)?shù)氐? stores sell, but cheaper,” said Zang Xin, a girl in Yangzhou.

While enjoying online shopping, many people also have worries, especially for middle school student buyers. Young students are easily attracted by advertisements on the Internet and buy things they don’t need.

“Middle school students should pay more attention to their study. Searching for things wastes their time,” said Jing Chunling, an education expert. “Besides, online shop owners have no idea of the ages of their buyers. Anyone can easily buy things that they want to. Some of goods are even bad for young students such as cigarettes and wine.”

1.Nowadays many people like shopping online instead of going to shops.

2.On November 11th, we can buy things for free.

3.By shopping online people can get things from different cities but not from different countries.

4.Students have no time to waste and are easily attracted to buy bad things

5.The article is mainly about dangers of shopping online for students.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps(腳步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.

There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school found he had only one thin dime(一角硬幣) left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve( 勇氣) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly and then asked, "How much do I owe (欠) you? You don't owe me anything," she replied. He said, “Then I thank you from my heart.”

Years later that young woman became seriously ill. The local doctors sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists(專 家 )to study her rare disease.

After a long struggle, the battle was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room.

Do you know that each child in school catches six to ten colds every year? Though there is no cure (治愈)for colds, there are some suggestions for you to avoid getting a cold.
