A.New age for supermarkets B.Concierge and Shopping Buddy C.New computers make shopping carts smarter D.Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable 答案 53.C 54.B 55.A 56.C Passage 123 Three months after the government stopped issuingor renewing permits for Internet cafes because of securityconcerns, some cafe owners are having financialconcerns of their own.
