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
United States.
Shopping centres have developed rapidly because of the shift 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 center 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.
46. In the shopping sections in many old cities in Europe, the stores are located ………

50. Customer can’t find “ the sense of the closeness” in a modern shopping centre because ……

• all the items in the stores are very expensive
the shopkeepers are very cold and unfriendly
• It is modern and conventional
they worry too much about the safety of their cars

Questions: - Read the paragraph, and do the exercises below.
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

United States.
Shopping centres have developed rapidly because of the shift 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 center 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.

along small roads in residential areas along poor, dirty roads in the downtown

Shops along the roads Supermarket Shopping centres Commercial places

• narrow and winding

• It is modern and conventional
the shopkeepers are very cold and unfriendly
all the items in the stores are very expensive
