According to a recent worldwide survey of Internet users, one out of four says they made their most recent purchase(購買) online and six out of ten say friends’ social media posts influence their online purchases. Those statistics(統(tǒng)計(jì)) have now given some users of the “Moments”(朋友圈) function on WeChat the idea of turning their “friends” into customers.

The “Moments” function on WeChat is closed system that allows you to send photos and messages only to your friends. It ensures more privacy(隱私) and it helps you avoid receiving spam(電子垃圾) from sellers. But some users were quick to see the business opportunities of “Moments” and have turned it into a mini-marketplace. They are recommending (推薦) products to their friends and offering to either sell the products directly or act as a middleman(中間商) for the purchases.

One woman told the Shanxi Evening News that she makes money as a middleman, or purchasing agent. She added a few sellers of fake(假的) handbags to her friends list and posts pictures of the handbags. When a friend is interested in buying a bag, they pay her the money and she has the sellers send the goods. “There are zero costs for storage and logistics(物流),” she says, “and I make money simply from the price difference.” It’s a nice business model, but the woman didn’t seem to know that she was doing something against the law by selling fakes to her friends.

Another woman was connected with even more dishonest business. She sold facial masks(面膜) that had “magical” effects to make women’s skin beautiful. Unluckily, the masks caused the faces of some of her “friends” to break out in red spots and pimples(粉刺), and when they asked for compensation, the woman magically disappeared.

Social media is easier to stay connected with friends and to share your experiences with them. And it’s OK to “recommend” something or try to make money from your friends. Turning your friends into customers is a sure way to lose those friends.

1.How many people made their recent purchases online according to the first paragraph?

A. 25% B. 40% C. 75% D. 100%

2.What does the “Moments” function on WhChat allow you to send to your friends?

A. Only photos

B. Not only photos but also messages

C. Only messages

D. Neither photos nor messages

3.What does the underlined word “compensation” mean?

A. 賠償 B. 補(bǔ)貨 C. 報(bào)酬 D. 折扣

4.According to the passage, what will happen if the users of the “Moments” function on WeChat sell products in a dishonest way to their friends?

A. They’ll make more friends.

B. The friendship between them and their friends will come to an end.

C. They will never use the “Moments” function on WeChat.

D. They will lose everything.

The Chinese are very generous with money when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless(不管) of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take after-school activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a great deal of money on education. Even poor parents buy a computer for their son or daughter.

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents should know their children’s different skills. They will usually be good in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack(缺乏) confidence.

The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well. They are not teaching them the most important skills that can be helpful to their growth. These skills can also build their confidence.

Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.

An old machine, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious. If he spends hours looking at it, and trying to mend it, your child might become an engineer when he grows up. It is better to do such than teach a child to read a book. These activities can teach them to think, and to use their minds.

How Chinese parents should 1. their children
