Online Shopping
There are an increasing number of college students who love going shopping online. They are in some sense getting addicted to online shopping for reasons of being convenient,
time saving, cost efficient or good after-sale service. The products they purchase via the
internet range from learning materials in relation to their study to the articles necessary in
their daily lives.
No doubt, there is a different side of online shopping as well. In the first place, many products bought this way may turn out to be of low quality, as against what is advertised on the web. In the second place, the shoppers may be cheated, getting nothing after paying a
certain amount of money. Lastly, after-sale service may not be guaranteed, for some online
shops may go bankruptcy or change hands.
As for me, I think we should be careful with online shopping, just as the proverb
goes:
?°Look before you leap?±. In other words, one should make sure that the price of the product is
reasonable and the quality is reliable in advance.

Section A
11. M: Tracy, I missed Prof. Shoesmith?ˉs class yesterday for some reasons I can?ˉt tell you now.
Could you tell me the assignments he gave us? W: No worries. Prof. Shoesmith was out for a conference and failed to give the lesson. He
will not be available to make up for it till next Tuesday.
Q: What can?ˉt we infer from the dialogue?
12. W: I?ˉm awfully sorry I?ˉm late again, but I got caught in a traffic jam; you know what
transportation was like this time of day.
M: Well, it appears that you have more traffic jams than other colleagues. It?ˉs the fourth
time you are late within two weeks.
Q: What did the man try to indicate?
13. W: Eric said that Tokyo is a great place for holding academic conferences. M: He?ˉs certainly in a position to say that. After all, he?ˉs been there quite often.
Q: What does the man consider Eric? 14. W: Mr. Johnathon, I wonder whether it?ˉs possible for me to take a vacation early next
month. I want to have a chance to get together with my family members. M: Did you fill up a request form? It?ˉs of necessity to go through some formalities.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
15. W: Since you have made so many business trips, you must have visited many cities all
over the city.
M: I wish I had, but besides many domestic cities, New York and London are the only two
foreign cities I?ˉve ever been to.
Q: What does the man mean?
16. W: Would you please, Mr. Smith, tell me what do you feel about child labor?
M: We are supposed to take care of them as young children.
Q: What?ˉs the man?ˉs attitude towards child labor?
17. M: That photo definitely highlights Bob?ˉs hair color. How do you consider that?
W: As a matter of fact, I think it makes his hair look messier than it really is. But, that?ˉs
what I really think about the picture.
Q: What does the woman think of the photo?
18. M: Did Iris go to the computer room with you yesterday? She told me she had to retrieve
some important information to finish her term paper.
W: Yes. But on usual occasions, even if she hadn?ˉt had much homework to do, she would
prefer staying in her dormitory to going anywhere else.
Q: What does the woman imply?
Conversation 1
M: Good morning Butner. Good to have you here.
W: Thank you. Good morning
M: And let me start with you, because this clearly was a labor of love for you, I believe, as
you have spent the last seven years of your life documenting the lives of these more than 400 teenagers that you connected with in such a real way. Why did you want to do this?
W: You know, I always say this project found me; I didn?ˉt go looking for it. And I think I just
have a real sensitivity towards teenagers. And I think that kids are, it?ˉs a misrepresented segment of society. I think there?ˉs a lot of suspicion about teenagers. I think that society
doesn?ˉt really know who they are. And I?ˉm always rooting for the underdog.
M: Is that the common thread that you found? Did you find that they are, for the most part, the underdogs; I mean that they are really living such complicated lives at such young ages?
W: Oh, absolutely! I think that life is moving really fast these days, and I think that these kids
are forced to grow up. And they didn?ˉt ask to grow up this quickly. But it?ˉs been thrust
upon them, and they?ˉve had to, really rally. And I think a lot of kids are facing very big
issues in life, you know, much bigger than we had ever, or at least I had ever faced.
M: Alright, well, that?ˉs a good message to end on. so much more we?ˉd love to talk with you
about. Thank you.
