“Who needs a shopping mall (购物中心) if you have Taobao?” says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.
Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site (网上购物网站), has become an important part of Wang Lin’s life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop on line than men. Clothing and home-use products are the most popular on line.
It was reported that more than 250 billion（十亿）yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.
Taobao means “looking for treasure” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.
You may question the security of online shopping, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and convenient. Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”

Do you think of your parents? “Yes，of course,” you may answer，“I buy a present for my mother on Mother’s Day．And I give my father a present on Father's Day， ① .” Then what about the other days of a year? Always remember to think of your parents，not just on some important days.
I have a friend who lives alone，because her parents live in another city. One day I went to see her. We had a nice chat. Then she wanted to make a call．She dialed（拨）the number，but then she put the phone down．After about ten seconds，she dialed the number  ②  . “Hi，Mum…”
Later I asked，“Why did you dial the number twice?” She smiled，“My parents are old. They can't get close to the telephone quickly . I always do so when I call them. ③I just want to give them enough time to answer the call.”
My friend is a good girl. She is always thinking about her parents. You also want to be a good child, right? So why not learn from her?

Nowadays more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. They don’t know how to do 小题1:h        because their parents do almost everything for them at home. This is a big 小题2:p       .
Joy is 14 years old. Last month her parents went aboard on 小题3:b       , so she had to stay at home alone. At first she thought she would be 小题4:h        when her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. 小题5:B        when it was six o’clock in the afternoon, she felt 小题6:h       . “Oh, it’s time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” she said to herself. 小题7:L        she found some food in the fridge, but she didn’t know how to cook. At that moment, she 小题8:m        her parents very much. At last she could only go to the supermarket and bought some food to小题9:e       .
Many teenagers are the same as Joy. So I think they should 小题10:l        some life skills, like cooking, tidying up their rooms or dressing themselves properly. They shouldn’t depend too much on their parents.

Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle(不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate(失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality(现实). By work, people come into contact with each other. By taking part in some activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment(充实感) and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.

Life comes and goes quickly. Keep writing diaries, they will help you record life and become a better person.
Record now to remember later
There are many little things that happen to you every day. These things show you how you should do later in life. So remember to write them down. ①And you can share the things written in diaries with your lovers later in life.
Write to express feelings
②_______ can help you express your _______ and help you move on with your life. For example, if you have someone close who hurt you or even someone who passed away, you have no chance to tell them the things you wanted to tell them. Then you can write a “letter” in your diary to express yourself. It must be a very healthy way.
Record your success
Another great thing to add to a diary is all of your successes. When you are in your unhappy days, it’s nice to go back and see what you have done successfully before. The diaries about your successes help you move forward in your life.
Understand your failures
Recording your failures is as important as recording your successes. You can learn from your failures. Writing down your failures and learning from them keeps you from making the same mistakes over and over. You should understand that you can and will fail, and it keeps you calm and realistic.

Talking with people is necessary in our daily activities and it is also very important. However, we all have different styles of communicating. Some people seem to be liked by most of the people while others not! Why does this happen? The answer lies in the simple magic words of communication—Thank you, Please and Sorry!
Let’s see how and why we should use these three words:
◆ Thank you
There is not one day of our life which we spend without taking help from another person. From the time we start our day till we step into our bed for a good night’s sleep, we have taken a number of favors (恩惠). However, how many times do we thank the other person truly? Be free and generous in saying “Thank you”! It does not take away your credit (认可), but surely makes the other person happy and more willing to help you next time!
◆ Please
Often we take things for granted (想当然) and ask other people to do things for us. This does not help as others feel they are made to do these for you. A simple and sweet “please” could completely change the manner towards you.
◆ Sorry
Everyone makes mistakes, but it is quite difficult to accept it and say sorry for it. This always causes trouble in our relationship. Saying sorry does not disgrace (使丢脸) anyone, instead, puts them in a more polite position.
These three simple words can work wonders for people. If you truly use these words in your day to day communication with people, you will surely find a change in the way people respond (反应) to you and your actions.

Three   小题1:  words of communication
Communicating is   小题2:  and plays an important part in our daily activities. Because of different styles of it, some people are very   小题3:  while others are not.
Thank you	We receive help from others   小题4:  day. If you say “Thank you” after getting favors, others will help you   小题5: .
Please	Others should   小题6: you well, right? No! But if you   小题7:  the simple and sweet “Please”, maybe others could change the manner towards you.
Sorry	It is human nature that everyone makes   小题8: . Saying “Sorry” can help you reduce      小题9:  in your relationship.
