These days, it seems like everything is going digital. You can find almost everything on the Internet. Many people find this way of life more convenient, because they can complete their daily chores（琐事） from the comfort of their own home. Firstly, online shopping can be far less stressful than hitting the high street shops. There are no huge crowds of people or boring long queues. With online shopping, it's just you and your computer. It's like you have the whole shop to yourself! Secondly, online stores don't have opening and closing times. This is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. If you want to, you can even place an online shopping order at three o'clock in the morning! In the busy modern world, there are clearly many advantages to online shopping. However, in my experience, there are also several cons… With online shopping, you can't try before you buy, and that's a definite disadvantage for me. Often, when my new clothes arrive, I find they don't fit very well. It's always annoying when a dress is a little too big, or when sleeves are too short… Sometimes, the clothes are not what I was expecting. A piece of clothing might look great in photos online, but quite different in real life. In these cases, you want to return the item, but here lies the biggest problem with online shopping. You have to pay for your order's delivery, and for an item to be returned to the warehouse! These charges are often very expensive, which suddenly make online shopping seem a little less convenient… That's why I don't choose to shop online very frequently. For now, I will continue to find the time for a trip to a real shop, where I know exactly what I'm buying!

Talking to strangers along your travels can change your trip into an adventure. Here are rules of thumb to serve as your guide. Don't ignore your fellow tourists. When you go to some place off the beaten path, you're likely to meet other tourists there. Find them, and ask where you would go.. Abandon your phone. Phones often get between you and the surroundings, ruining your chances to make contact with the people you see., take a deep breath and put it in a different pocket or cover it with tape. . The easiest way to do this is to talk to people who are in "open roles", such as anyone in a public service job, or a taxi driver. Or ask someone seated near you; ask where the person's favorite street is; ask if there's a residential area where it would be nice to take a walk. Use a map-or none at all. . However, the truth is, sometimes those small streets are nowhere to be found with a map. So ask for directions a lot. Asking for any kind of help is the key to many doors. Most Important: Ask good questions. Finding good questions means observing and noticing. A well-turned question shows that you are really paying attentions you are curious and ready to listen.. A. Let strangers make your plans B. Maps can be of great assistance C. When the unwillingness gets in the way D. A good question will get you everywhere E. They are going to offer advice made of gold F. Those fellow tourists can make sense of your journey G. If abandoning your phone isn't practical or feels insecure to you |

The world's top automakers are increasingly offering more electric vehicle models. This growth is expected to continue, with more people choosing to hit the road with clean-running electric cars. Environmentalists have praised the automakers for taking major steps to limit harmful pollutants linked to worldwide climate change. But electric vehicles are also known for not producing another kind of pollution - noise. They run on batteries instead of fuel, and can operate in silence. While many people might consider this a good thing, quiet cars can also cause problems. The main danger is that people around electric vehicles face a greater risk of being hit if they cannot hear the cars coming. Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this problem. So, they have set requirements for manufacturers to add warning sounds to electric vehicles. The U.S. Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ago. The rules require electric and hybrid (混和能源) vehicles to be equipped with some warning sounds when moving at speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour. The rules are aimed at preventing injuries among people walking or riding bicycles and to protect the blind. So what kinds of sounds can we expect to hear from the next generation of electric vehicles? One of the easiest solutions would be for carmakers to reproduce the sound a traditional car running on fuel. But many industry officials believe this would be a mistake. They say this would not support the electric vehicle's true identity. Frank Welsch, the head of technical development at Volkswagen, said that finding the perfect sound mix is not an easy process. He said. "It cannot be too annoying. It cannot sound like anything we had in the past." An official from Mercedes-Benz said the sound was designed to provide a safe warning without annoying passengers inside the vehicle. He said the goal was to create a car that remains completely quiet inside. It might seem strange to think that part of our automotive future is currently being developed in the same kinds of recording studios used by musicians. But that is exactly what is happening.

阅读理解Movies we have enjoyed Gattica Samantha Wynter from Mexico finds this movie interesting because it examines the results of genetic engineering of humans in the future. It shows the struggles of Victor, a man born naturally and with imperfections, to succeed in a world of genetically-designed, perfect humans. Central Station Stella Tupinamba from Brazil reviews this excellent Brazilian film which was recently nominated(提名) for Academy awards. This movie which features the talented actress, Fernanda Montenegro, in Stella's words, is "like a prize" for Brazilians. It's a very special film. Don't miss it! Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Masako Kanki from Japan was pleased to find the movie so faithful to the book, but a little disappointed in the lack of character development. Nonetheless, she found the movie fantastic and is eagerly looking forward to viewing more movies based on Harry Potter books. Life is Beautiful Akiko Tanaka from Japan feels this Italian movie is a very special one. She found the story very beautiful, but very sad. She tells us the basic story of this heartrending movie, which shows us we should never forget what happens during wars.

阅读理解It was a cold day and I had no desire to drive to my daughter Carolyn's house. But she had insisted I see something on top of the mountain. So here I was, unwillingly making the two-hour journey through fog. After I parked the car, we walked along a path with thick pine needles and huge evergreens towering over us. Gradually, the peace and silence began to fill my mind. Then we turned a corner and stopped—and I breathed in amazement! From the top of the mountain, covering several valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙花) in bloom. All kinds of colors spread like a carpet before us. It looked as if the sun had spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of roses. Here and there were colorful tulips(郁金香). How fantastic the wonder was! A lot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How? Nearing the center of the garden, we saw a sign that read: ''Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.'' The first answer was: ''One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.'' The second was: ''One at a Time.'' The third: ''Started in 1958. '' As we drove home, I was so moved that I could scarcely speak. ''She changed the world,'' I finally said, ''one bulb at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.''

In the 1950s, the world rice market changed. As consequence, thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London to look work.
