Experience of accident

The road had been cleared, (21)__________ it was still dangerously icy. (22)__________ the slippery road, I was stupidly going along (23)__________ about 50 miles an hour, instead of driving more cautiously. (24)__________ factor was a dirty green van that suddenly pulled onto the road from a small crossroad of the street about fifty yards ahead of me. The road (25)__________ (cover) with a
2
sheet of ice at that point and if I applied my brakes, I would steer into the van. So I carefully drove my car into the next lane, and though the rear of my car began skidding back and forth, for a moment I got the idea (26)__________ everything was OK as I drove past the slow-moving van.

A. tricky G. territory B. standard C. destinations D. shipped E. competitive F. available H. appealing I. transportation J. processed K. revolutionized Advantages and disadvantages of shopping online Everyone who knows Olivia Griffiths is impressed by her unique sense of style. Whenever she walks into a room, heads turn. Her friends wonder how she managed to get the new Mulberry handbag that no one had thought was 31 in Australia yet. The truth is that Olivia has never left Australia. But with a few clicks of her computer mouse, she can travel to shopping 32 around the world. Online shopping has 33 the consumer experience. With the help of an increasing number of online shops overseas, shoppers can now pick up interesting goods from all over the world.
The biggest advantage of shopping on foreign websites is the wide range of choices available. For example, Chinese shoppers are often disappointed when Gap products are not available locally. But now it’s possible to order these products straight from the US with a credit card and a small 34 fee. Other benefits of online shopping include 35 prices. When items are bought online from other countries, they’re often tax-free.
However, when you buy things from a foreign website, things can get 36 too. So make sure you pay extra attention to protecting your rights.
Sometimes it can be difficult to handle foreign websites because of the unfamiliar language. For example, the term “delivered in 1-5 working days” can be confusing for Chinese shoppers, as it doesn’t clarify whether this is the time in which the product will arrive or the time it takes for it to be 37 . The method of delivering can also determine whether you get your product at all. Unless you choose express or priority delivering, which only takes a few days to deliver but is more expensive, most 38 international delivering doesn’t offer a tracking option ― which means once your products are 39 outside of the country there’s no way of finding out where they are.
The best consumers are the most sensible ones. If you’re interested in expanding your shopping 40 to foreign websites, make sure you do your research beforehand to avoid your money and products being lost on the way. III. Reading Comprehension Section A

The patterns on the outside of the cups are unique. Yet people in Hong Kong just see straight through them,” he said. “They think these paper cups look all the same, but in fact each of them looks a bit different
4
from the others. If you pay attention, you’ll notice some of these paper cups have spiral(螺旋) patterns on them, some of them have patterns of waves. There is a large number ofvariations.” Jeffrey now owns over 200 paper cups, all in the color of white and orange but with different designs. When people offer to buy his cups, he simply refuses.
Another collector, Stacey Cheng, likes to collect sweets wrapping paper and uses it to make decorative art. Her work is among the most popular goods in local gift shops. “I started collecting them when I was 4,” she said smiling. “When I finished a sweet, I wouldn’t let my mum throw away the wrapping paper because it looked so pretty.” Now, whenever Stacey enters a snack shop, the first thing she does is to look for new products with special designs. “Once I finish the sweets. I keep the wrapping paper. Sometimes I treat my friends to the snacks just to get the wrapping paper sooner,” she said. “They can’t be happier when I do so.”
