Shopping in the States
I love shopping, even if it is just window-shopping. Shopping in the States is always a pleasant experience. There are
different types of shops catering to your particular needs. To buy groceries, you can go to the convenience store, the
supermarket or the mass merchandiser (such as Wal-Mart). To buy some clothes and big-ticket items, you can go to the mall
or factory outlets. I go to two places most often, the supermarket and the mall.
In almost every city or large town, you can find several big chain supermarkets, each with a good number of checkouts.
They are one-stop shops since you can buy almost everything there: food, clothes, and medicine — you name it.
Installed with automatic checkout lanes, some of these supermarkets have brought real convenience to the customers.
Most packaged goods have barcodes and you just scan them on the scanning machine when you check out. Some items, such
as vegetables and fruits, do not have barcodes on them. You need to input their label numbers, which can be found on the list
glued to the scanning machine. These automatic checkout lanes help the stores reduce their labour cost and increase their
efficiency. I was really thrilled the first time I used the automatic checkout lane.
Shopping in the supermarket gave me other surprises as well. Once, I picked up two bags of salad at a supermarket.
When I scanned them, the screen showed a different price from what was advertised. Out of curiosity, I went to the customer
service counter and asked why. The lady who helped me went to the shelf to double- check the price. When she came back,
she apologized to me, saying that the supermarket had not scanned the price properly. According to their policy, if the
customer discovered a scanning problem, he would get the product for free as a reward for him or a penalty for the
supermarket. When I left with the two bags of free salad, I couldn't help marveling at the honesty of the clerk.
A shopping mall in the States is composed of many individual specialty shops and nationwide chain stores. What
impresses me most when shopping at the mall is its return policy. No matter what you buy, shoes, pants or big-ticket items
such as a TV or a washing machine, if you find some problems with them or simply do not like them any longer, you can
return them within 30 days. You won't be challenged at the customer service counter as long as you have your receipt. Of
course there are some people who might take advantage of this return policy, especially when they need something for
momentary use. That's why you can always find a long line of people waiting to return their goods right after Christmas.
The saying that
taken good care of.

The whale is a mammal—warm-blooded, air-breathing, giving birth to its young alive, sucking them—and, like all
mammals, originated on land. There are many signs of this. 1 front flippers, used for steering and stability, are traces
of feet.
Immense strength is built into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whale's body is one gigantic
muscle. The blue whale's pulling 2 has been estimated at 400 horsepower. One specimen was reported to have
3 a whaling vessel for seven hours at the 4 of eight knots.
An enraged whale will attack a ship. A famous 5 of this was the fate of whaler Essex, which was sunk

Sperm whales(抹香鲸） were known to 7 the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush them.
The greatest mystery of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale 8 the bottom for his favourite food, the
octopus. 9 he is known to go as far down as 3,200 feet, where the pressure is 1,400 pounds, to the square inch. Doing
