Sharon Suarez has been looking forward to the day when she won’t have to carry groceris(食品杂货) from her car to her house. That day has come. A growing number of people are shopping on the Internet. "I’ve never done it, but it sounds great." Miss Suarez said. "It is so hot here in the summer. It’s also relly cold in the winter. I would love to stay inside and have the groceries come to me" Of course, people already buy books, do their banking, and shop for presents on the Internet.But when they need to shop for food, most still get in the car and go to the supermarket. An American visits a supermarket 2.2 times a week. Part of the problem is that many shoppers want to see the food they buy. While they might buy a CD or a book without seeing it. Most people do not want to buy food the same way. They worry about bad food and later deliveries. But all this is slowly changing.People are beginning to find that it takes less time to buy food over the Internet. And they are finding that delivery is fast, cheap, and the food is good.

Everyone，old or youn9，likes travel．People travel not only to seethings but also to meet and learn about the people in other lands．As we travel we see a lot of things．We seehills，rivers， lowlands and manyother things that nature(大自然)has created(创造)．These are very beautiful things to see．The lakes and waterfalls(瀑布)that we see，for example，are some of the most beautifulthings that nature has created to beautify the world．
We alsosee how people in different parts of the world work and live．In some places we seepeople working in the mines．In other places we seepeople growing rice or making cars．In short， people do not do the same thing everywhere．Theirways of life are also different in different parts of the world．
Even thelanguages and the customs of the people are not the same everywhere．If we travel we will come to know these better．So we should travel if wehave the chance to do s0．

Joseph Concord, a famous English writer, said that 41 a writer his wish was "to make you hear, to make you feel - it is , before all, 42 you see." A good short story 43 leaves a deep impression(印象) to be tumed over and over 44 the mind. After 45 the story, the reader should have 46 to think about. In order to read a short story with 47 understanding, the reader must know not only the plot(情节) of the story, but 48 the subject of the story.
