Passage 1

It’s a goal for millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount of money, but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones will enjoy them. This concern is becoming greater and greater these days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.

Hit the sales.No one wants to gel up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get good deals on Black Friday (the first Friday at Christmas time). It’s surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a gold deal. But sometimes it can be well worth it. Many retailers offer specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday specials, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.

Read advertisements regularly.Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.

Shop online.Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping.

The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some specially store on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.

11、The underlined word “specials” in Paragraph 2 means______.

电子商务正在改变我们的生活，你准备好了吗?

在我们的行业中，物流比技术更重要。

这几个因素都可能影响你的决定。

(71) [If you are serious about growing your online business, you need to know where your market is and how to reach it.] (72) [What does the future of Internet marketing look like right now? Pretty much like a teenager.] Just take a look at today’s teens, and here’s what you’ll see.]

■ IPods loaded with music they’ve selected 

■ (73) [Cell phones used constantly for text messaging, sending photos or short video clips, web surfing and taking]

■ Wireless laptops that can link to the Internet from pretty much anywhere and what are these kids doing on their computers?

■ Reading new blog posts, watching viral videos friends send them, hanging out at social networking sites with people who share their interests, and creating their own web content and uploading it so other people can see it 

These kids tell online business owners a lot. They tell us that people are creating their own personal web experience. (74) [They’re creating networks of trust made up of people, groups and businesses they want to hear from.] (75) [They’re eliminating what’s irrelevant to them and pulling in only what they consider significant.] And they’re using a whole array of tools to do this, while accessing a full range of media.

That means that if we want to market to today’s Internet audience, we’ve got to become part of their trusted networks and use the same tools and media to reach them with content they want to see. And that boils down to one thing: segment, segment, and segment.
