Shop owners around the world are getting increasingly annoyed with the latest trend of customers coming into their shops just to try things on, but not to buy. They have decided to do something to stop it.

As online shopping has become more and more popular, some shop owners have 46 that although their shops look busy, they aren’t making much money. This is because customers are 47 to save money by buying online but are worried about choosing the wrong size or colour. So they go to stores to try on clothes before going home to 48 them from a website.

But now stores in Australia have come up with an idea to stop this. They are asking customers to pay a ‘trying on’ fee. Winter sportswear shops have introduced charges (收费) of up to $50 to try on boots or other ski wear. This charge is returned if customers come back to buy the 49 within seven days.

It isn’t just ski wear; some bridal (新娘的) shops have also introduced charges. Martha Jones, owner of Wedded Bliss, a bridal shop in Melbourne, explains, “we get a lot of people who are not here to buy dresses 1. . Either they try on in-store and then shop online, or they are girls who are not even getting married; they just want to see what they look like in different wedding dresses. Fitting a woman for her wedding dress is a specialist skill that we take very 2., and we put in time and 3. to make sure the dress is exactly right.’ The fee has been successful: ‘We’ve had fewer time-wasters,’ explains Jones, ‘which means we have been able to give our real customers an even better service.’

Would you pay to try on clothes? Do you think it is 4. to charge brides to try on dresses? Let us know in the comments section below.

When the plane arrived on Prince Edward Island in Canada, the snow was thick on the ground as they’d had about 100cm in 24 hours. That amount of snow was unusual for the island but I didn’t know that so I wasn’t worried. It didn’t look much thicker than snow I’d seen in Scotland. I was going to visit my friend, Chris, and he’d warned me it would be very cold and snowy. In fact I was feeling too warm as I had too many clothes on.

Chris met me in his car and we were quite near his house, which was only five kilometers from the airport, when we got stuck in the snow. So we phoned the road rescue services and a man and a truck arrived. He said we were the fifth car he’d pulled out of the snow that evening. He started the engine and he’d almost pulled us out ... Only to find that the truck had brought a whole pile of snow down from the sides of the road onto both vehicles and the truck was stuck too. He phoned to get an even larger truck to come and rescue us all. In the end it did!

Chris turned off the engine and we sat in the car to wait for the second truck to pull us out. I suggested he might keep the engine running so we could stay warm. He pointed out that the gas gauge was showing nearly empty and he was worried that we still had to get to his house. We finally arrived at his house at 4.30 in the morning -five hours after leaving the airport.

In the past few decades, a large number of new electronic devices have appeared: MP3 players, camcorders, e-book readers, and so on. Will the future bring new gadgets (小玩意)?

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题):

As soon as people realize that my brother Michael, my sister Tiffany and I were born on the same day, that we’re triplets, they ask the strangest questions. But no, we can’t read each other’s minds. We don’t have the same dreams. And I can promise you that we don’t always get along. These are the things I get asked most often when people meet me for the first time.

Although there are lots of good things about being a triplet, one thing I really don’t like is when people think of us as one person - ‘MichaelDesireeTiffany’ instead of ‘Michael’ and ‘Desiree’ and ‘Tiffany’. I don’t like it when people think we should act or think the same just because we were born at the same time, like when people ask me why I’m so shy while Michael and Tiffany are so much louder. And I definitely don’t like it when people don’t understand that we have individual (个人的) choices of what to do in our spare time.

Growing up, Tiffany, Michael and I shared almost everything. It was funny how the exact moment I wanted to use the bike was the same time that Tiffany felt like going for a ride. When the three of us learned to drive at the same time, we very often fought over who got to practise with the car.

My dad came up with a brilliant plan called ‘turns’. One Sunday a month, each of us would have a chance to spend three hours with our dad, alone, and do whatever we wanted. For three hours every month each of us was allowed to feel like he/she was an only child. This helped me to see that being a triplet is a part of me, but it isn’t the only part of me. I don’t just want to be thought of as ‘Desiree, the girl who’s a triplet’. I want to be thought of as an individual.

1. Is Desiree the only girl of the triplets?

2.What question might people ask the triplets when they first meet them? Give one example.

3.How did they decide who practised with the car first?

4.How often could each of the triplets have the “alone time” with their father?

5.In what ways are the triplets different? (List 2)

They have different __________ and __________.

6.What are the bad things about being a triplet?
