20．Do you like shopping？Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror？For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money．For me，it's something I would rather avoid．Thank goodness for the Internet!It's more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，and even food from the comfort of your sofa．But that's not the only reason：price is an important factor．We can buy goods and services cheaper online．But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy．This has led to a type of shopping called"showrooming"．
Showrooming is something I've done．I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price．I'm not alone in doing this．Research by a company called Foolproof found 24% of the people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013．
Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying．She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around．
But does this mean technology will kill shops？Certainly shops will change．They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts．
We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare．It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen，but at least by showrooming，you get the best of both worlds．

33．What does showrooming mean in the text？A

A．The lack of time
B．The comfort of the sofa
C．The lack of money
D．The security of the product
35．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？C

15．Imagine entering a very large building and you have no idea how to get to the office you are looking for．But then，as you're standing there，a nearly silent balloon floats （飘） over to you and speaks to you．It asks you where you want to go．You tell it，and then it simply says"follow me"like a child's game，and begins to float off in the direction of your destination．It keeps going，as you follow，leading you to where you want to go．
The guide works itself，without any help from any human being．It says hello to people as they arrive in the building，speaks to them，processes their requests and then guides them to the destination．
The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift．Onboard is a wireless （无线的） receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors （传感器） that let it know where objects are around it．
The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years，and has been mentioned in novels many times．Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult．This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future-because it is so much easier to follow!
