Shi Fang spends more than 4,000 yuan a month shopping, but she rarely goes to the
shopping mall. “Why need a shopping mall if you have Taobao? I am a Taobaoer,” says
Shi, 28, a freelance writer (自由作家) in Beijing. Taobao, China's largest online shopping
site has become an essential part of Shi Fang's life. She spends half of her monthly salary to
Taobao, logging onto the website every day, even when she doesn’t need any-thing, simply
to “stay updated to the latest items”
The passage mainly tells us that more and more netizens in China like Shi Fang buy goods on the
Internet, among which Taobao is the largest online shopping site.
Almost two months ago, I wanted to buy my mother a birthday present, but I didn't have much time
to go shopping. I surfed the Internet and found a pink handbag which I thought would fit my mother
perfectly. I paid and received it seven days later. To my delight, my mother liked it very much.
There is no doubt that shopping online has some advantages. First of all, it's quite convenient to shop
on- line for we needn't go from one shop to another, so we can save lots of time. In addition, shopping
online is also cheaper and more colorful to us and the Internet pro- vides us with the goods coming in all
shapes, sizes and colors, which can meet our demands. However, tradition- al shopping also has its own
benefits. For one thing, our personal information may be let out when shopping on- line. For another,
when going shopping in person, you can experience the color, shape, and quality of goods and enjoy
discussing your choices with friends.
In my opinion, shopping on the Internet and buying in stores are both important to us in our daily
life. We should consider carefully and choose what we want to buy according to our own situations.

A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
