E-business（电子商务）has changed the lives of people across the world. With fewer people 【小题1】（leave）home for shopping, physical stores are having a 【小题2】（difficult）time. It seems that one kind of physical store is not being hit-the convenience store.

Convenience store sales in 2016 in China increased by 13 percent 【小题3】（compare）with those of 2015, according to China Daily. There are now 【小题4】（near）100,000 convenience stores in China. And in Japan, there are 11,000 more convenience stores in 2017 than in 2010.

Why are these 24-hour stores with 【小题5】 average area of 110 square meters enjoying such rapid 【小题6】（develop）?

One of the most important 【小题7】 （reason）is that young people have grown into the habit of shopping at convenience stores, noted Convenience Store News. Convenience stores not only have everything for daily use, but also have fresh food like sushi, bread and salads, 【小题8】 are all quite popular among young people.

What's more, different 【小题9】 supermarkets, many convenience stores sell things they make themselves, like bread and cakes. As these products can only 【小题10】（find） in these stores, many people go there just to buy them.

Most people 【小题1】(hear) of the term “big data” in the past few years. When companies record the information of millions of users, they can analyze this “big data” to discover patterns and trends, allowing them to make better business decisions. It sounds like a good science experiment, 【小题2】 in the experiment every single user who gives up their information loses their privacy (隐私). Companies say that the data is used to provide “better service,” 【小题3】 is really an excuse for them to make more money.

Take shopping on Taobao 【小题4】 example. People can get product recommendations 【小题5】(base) on their previous shopping making it much 【小题6】(easy) to finish a shopping list. However, they usually end up 【小题7】(buy) things they originally don’t have in mind. Or they often add a few more to the cart. That’s where the business wins.

As technology grows more advanced, there will be more 【小题8】(opportunity) for people to be exposed. Every single photo, text or video people post on the internet is there to help someone paint 【小题9】 better picture of every person. Perhaps in the near future, someone will have collected enough data 【小题10】(predict) the future decisions people will make before they even make them.

On May 22, a large crowd stood outside the hospital just 【小题1】 (say) farewell to the man and they began to cry out, “Grandpa Yuan, rest in peace!” It was the setting of an unusual scene.

Yuan Longping, famous 【小题2】 growing super hybrid rice in China, died of organ failure on May 22 at the age of 91. But the legacy he left behind will continue to improve food 【小题3】 (secure) and research around the world and inspire generations of agro-scientists. His research helped feed 1.4 billion Chinese, nearly one fifth of the world’s population, by growing high-yield hybrid rice 【小题4】 China has only less than 9 per cent of the arable (可耕的) land in the world.

When a memorial service 【小题5】 (hold) in Changsha two days later, thousands of people 【小题6】 (jam) into the funeral home, laying flowers or bunches of rice, along with messages of grief and admiration, and pictures they had drawn for him. Thousands 【小题7】 (many) attended the online memorial, and many of 【小题8】 had been in other parts of China.

On social media, people posted images of their empty plates, 【小题9】 (write) they would miss Yuan when they ate and promising not to waste rice and other food. “It was 【小题10】 (extreme) rare to see so many people come unaffectedly to mourn someone,” a worker at the funeral home told China News Service.
