Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience.You can shop whenever you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don't have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters.Secondly,it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet.Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line.Finally,it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet,and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality.Also,many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends.Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards,so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead.It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things一from tonight's dinner to a new car.The most proper title for this passage is"_________".

问答题Topic 6：Can shopping vouchers increase consumption? Questions for Reference: 1) To stimulate consumption, which is more effective, tax reduction or shopping vouchers? 2) What are the major purposes of issuing shopping vouchers? 3) In what way can the shopping vouchers best be distributed? Shall every citizen be given the same amount of shopping vouchers or should the vouchers be limited to the lower-income people only?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is my registration number is Today I will share with you my opinion about shopping vouchers. Shopping vouchers are now being widely used these days. Some economists have suggested that issuing shopping vouchers is a good way to tackle the economic crisis because it can stimulate consumers’ desire to purchase more commodities. Here is the question: Can shopping vouchers really increase consumption?
As we know, the government has worked out an economic stimulus package, trying to tap the country’s huge consumption potential. For one thing, the citizens in some places have got shopping vouchers for free. Some people think that it is a pretty effective approach and will bring immediate returns because shopping vouchers have a time limit and thus will immediately promote domestic consumption. However, the truth is: numerous people having received vouchers have chosen to cash in the vouchers and saved the money instead of shopping. To some extent, it hasn’t turned out as originally planned. Why? As some critic have said, China still has a long way to go in improving the economic environment to encourage consumption by issuing shopping vouchers. People can enjoy the happiness only when they are covered by an effective social security network and enjoy higher income.
To sum up, to stimulate Chinese residents’ consumption, the government should first guarantee a sound social security system, covering health, unemployment, education and housing, and so on. After all of these have been done, people will have enough money to spend and with the promotion of consumption, their life can be gradually improved. 解析： 暂无解析 -
