In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow roads with many shops lying together along the
two
sides. These commercial places are not so modern and convenient as those called shopping centres
in
modern cities, especially in the suburbs of the big cities in the United
States.
Shopping centres have developed rapid
l
y because of the shift of the population to the suburbs,
the
growing use of and dependence upon the automobiles and the heavy traffic in downtown areas. A
shopping
centre is a large group of stores facing a huge central mall which may be covered, heated and
air-
conditioned. A shopping centre is also surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of
cars.
We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping centre. Unlike a
supermarket
where groceries are chiefly sold, a shopping centre provides us with all services besides food. We can
get
our hair cut, eyes tested, clothes washed, we can book our tickets for a world tour and even enroll in
special
classes. Shopping centres are therefore, very convenient for the customers, but they lack "the sense
of
closeness" as felt in older commercial
centres.

.
A. in the downtown B. in residential
areas
C. along poor, dirty roads D. along small

.

.
A. narrow and
winding
B. very crowded with
automobiles
C. used as a store-house for heaters and
air-conditioners
D. shaded and
comfortable
49. A shopping centre is different from a supermarket because
.
A. it only sells
food
B. it sells
vegetable
C. it provides not only food but also
services
D. it is easy to book a ticket for a world
tour
50. Customers cannot find "the sense of closeness" in a modern shopping centre because
.
A. all the items in the stores are very
expensive
B. the shopkeepers are very cold and
unfriendly
C. it is modern and
conventional

sheet.
The habits of those who constantly play video games are very important to people working in
video-
game industry. If video games are going to be one of the most attractive features of future

vital to build up detailed profiles of people who are addicted to video

damaged
and even eating habits are affected. Girls of the same age, however, are entirely different, demonstrating

able to play them when they want and then leave them
alone.
