    Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping, or is it?

    Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim (声明) made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (欺骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of deceiving. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.

    Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and colour are not essential to customer satisfaction.

    Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(烦恼的) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work to receive it!

    "Now," Mrs Virginia DeView said, smiling, "we are going to discover our professions." The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 1. "Yes, you will all be searching for your future 2. Each of you will have to 3 someone in your field, plus give an oral report."

    Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This 4 I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 5 able to speak. He looked at me and said," Did you bring a pencil or pen?"

    I shook my head.

    "How about some 6?"

    I shook my head again.

    Finally, I thought he realized I was 7, and I got my first big tip as a 8: "Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you'll run into." After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from 9 in class. I got an A on the entire project.

    Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 10 Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't 11me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and 12 all my life I had run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. 13gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 14.

    For the past 12 years, I've had the most satisfying reporting career, 15 stories from murders to airplane crashes and 16 choosing my strongest area. 17 I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been 18 Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.

    I get 19 all the time:" How did you pick journalism?"

    "Well, you see, there was a teacher…" I always start out. I just wish I could 20 her.
