Shopping online is easier than actually going to a store and saves your time. However, it’s not always that easy. Sometimes, you may have a few problems.
Xu Zijiao, 21, a student at Sichuan University, often buys clothes on Taobao. “The colors might be different. And since you can’t feel the clothes, the quality might be bad,” Xu said.
Many people had similar experiences to Xu – buying something that isn’t as good as the advertisements suggest, or going into a store for a special offer but still paying a lot. What would you do if your consumer rights(消费者权利)were broken? Guangzhou Daily reported that according to a research, 60 percent consumers would give up without fighting for their rights.
March 15 is World Consumer Rights Day. According to consumer protection laws in China, consumers have nine rights, including the right to guaranteed safety, truthful information, free choice and respect.
How can we fight for our consumer rights? Here are some tips:
1. Learn some of the differences between real and false goods.
2. Check the label (标签) and read the information carefully before you buy something.
3. Get a receipt (收据) for all your goods and services.
4. If you find there’s any problem with your goods, talk to the seller first, and try to get your money back or get an exchange. If you can’t reach an agreement, call 12315 or go to your local consumers association for help.
The second paragraph uses Xu Zijiao’s example to show _____.

Shopping online has the following disadvantages EXCEPT _____.

According to the law, consumers have the following rights EXCEPT _____.

If you buy false goods, you’d better first_____.

What is your zodiac（生肖） animal? According to the Chinese lunar calendar（农历）, 12 animals mark 12 different years. It is the basis of the Chinese zodiac. Nowadays, Chinese zodiac animals have worldwide fame and are increasingly popular among western people.
The zodiac is an important part of Chinese culture. People believe that the characteristics of a zodiac animal influence the personality of every person born in that year. For example, people born in the Year of the Tiger are considered powerful and brave.
Zodiac animals also have some social functions. When people think it is not proper to ask: “How old are you”, they may change their question to “What is your zodiac animal?” With this question, you can figure out roughly which year someone was born and the person’s age.
Zodiac animals are not special to China. Many countries share a similar zodiac culture with China. For example, in the Japanese Zodiac, a wild boar（野猪）takes the place of a pig and the Vietnamese（越南的）zodiac has a cat instead of a rabbit.
But have you ever wondered how these 12 animals were chosen to represent each year? According to legend, the Jade Emperor（玉皇大帝）invited all the animals to join him for Chinese New Year. Only 12 animals went to see him. As a reward he named a year after each one in the order they arrived. The ox would have been the first to arrive, but the rat sat on his back and jumped off just before they arrived to come in first place.
The characteristics of a zodiac animal may influence the _____ of every person born in that year.

“What is your zodiac animal?” is a question used to find out a person’s______.

In the Japanese zodiac, we don’t see the zodiac animal：_______

According to the last paragraph, we know that ____ was the first animal to arrive.

In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.

Is there someone you hate? Well, you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing(批评) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to terrible health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our friendships with our friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, the following ways can be helpful.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of your mind.
