Let’s not Discount Human Touch Next Nov. 11 I had a punishing day’s shopping
recently. In less than an hour, I bought 12 liter-cartons of milk, the same number of
boxes of breakfast cereal, 10 hairy crabs, a dozen pairs of socks, and a replacement
laptop power cable. The next day it was all delivered straight to my door, neatly
packed and alive. Welcome to China’s most efficient and expanding industry: Online
shopping. When I left Edinburgh, the above list might have meant a whole
weekend of much blood, sweat and irritation. In Beijing, however, the opposites apply.
I am embarrassed to say, my list was all bought sitting in bed. This is the ultimate
in modern convenience and a gold mine for the delivery and retail sectors. But I can’t
help thinking it’s becoming a killer for society. Retailers across China will no
doubt be toasting another bumper Nov. 11 shopping festival. Alibaba reported that
about 91.2 billion yuan was spent on Nov. 11. That was 60 percent higher than the 57.
1 billion yuan it took on Nov. 11 last year. In my view, festivals are about
mingling with happy people, listening to music, enjoying each other’s company.
They’re not about sitting boggled in front of a PC, laptop, tablet or mobile, essentially
spending for the sake of spending. In just five years, Nov. 11 has become
commercialism on a vulgar scale—much like Christmas has in the West. In
Edinburgh, I lived in Stockbridge. There’s a 40-year-old cheese shop, a delicatessen, a
hardware store, a stationer, two small supermarkets, a butcher, a fresh-fish shop, even
a chocolatier: All within striking distance of each other. At the weekend, families
stroll about with armfuls of real shopping bags, having conversations with real
neighbors, actually interacting with their fellow Edinburgers. I fully appreciate
not everyone has this luxury of such quirky shop windows on their doorsteps.
Being able to source thousands of online goods, conveniently from home is amazing
and impressive. But have we all become just too used to clicking a mouse than using
our own two feet to go out for a nice piece of old-fashioned retail therapy? I feel
we’ve already got to the point that choosing this rather slothful keyboard opinion is a
breeding ground for a more sedentary and unsociable society. What about actual
shops? Already, millions are being shuttered around the world. And those that do
survive may very well be run by artificially intelligent shop assistant applications or
robots—not much chat over the counter in those. Indoors, too, all-purpose robots
are already doing the housework. Sensors in future could also obviate other chores,
with your fridge and cupboards programmed to place orders for you.I would rather
like not having my life ruled by electronics—especially those I can’t look in the eye,
or say hello to. So, instead of Nov. 11, how about “Get Off Your Posterior, and
Go and Do Something for Yourself” Day? Write your response on ANSWER
SHEET FOUR.
正确答案: My Views on On-line Purchase After a frenetic purchase of
loads of unnecessary things from the Internet on Singles’ Day, the author feels
remorseful and puts retrospection on this event. Instead of catering to the hail over the
triumph of an ever higher sale made by on-line shopping on this day, the author lists
its disadvantages such as vulgar commercialism, social isolation and devastating
effects on actual shops which have to shutter one by another. In the end, the author
calls for the Singles’ Day next year to be the one with real human touch. This
year’s Singles’ Day witnesses another market mayhem thanks to on-line shopping.
When people hail the boon of it, sober minds see it not always brimmed with
promises for us all. Despite a hefty dose of profits that on-line shopping offers to
us, it also creates a new chill in the air. Firstly, it aggravates social isolation. Since a
click of the mouse can make whatever we want delivered to our doors, people no
longer spend their leisure time roaming around actual shops with their family and
friends. This, in return, will pull us further apart from each other. Secondly, though
on-line shopping boosts some industries such as delivery and e-commerce, it also
afflicts traditional ones. Actual shops shut down one by another; worse still, related

Children should begin their formal schooling at an early age
People have different views on what children should do at a very early age. Some
think that children should begin their formal education and start to spend most of their
time on studies. Others believe that it is still time for young children to play. Both
views are based on respective ground.
Those who argue for the playing time for children suggest that children at a very early
age are still too young to focus their attention on learning. Their brain may not be
ready for serious studies such as comprehension and memorizing learning materials.
These people are partially right, for it is true that young children can hardly
concentrate. Their attention on one thing lasts for no longer than 15 minutes or so. But
