The best idea for food shopping is making a list of what you need or 【小题1】 (compare) prices at different stores. Although it’s not necessarily important for you 【小题2】 (make) a shopping routine, you may end 【小题3】 shopping in either a grocery store (杂货店) or a supermarket.

Then what’s the difference between grocery stores and supermarkets? The real difference between them 【小题4】 (come) down to scale (规模) and specific products. Grocery stores are filled with food and drinks, and maybe a small part of household items at most. Supermarkets, however, have a much 【小题5】 (wide) range of things for sale, including food and drinks, clothing, baby items, and so on. 【小题6】 (general), “grocery store” is described as a store which sells a variety of food products.

Another big difference, in earlier times, was 【小题7】 a grocery store would, for the most part, get the products for customers. However, in a supermarket customers filled their baskets or carts with their 【小题8】 (choose). There are a few other differences between them. Supermarkets are always chain stores 【小题9】 grocery stores are run by individuals.

However, it 【小题10】 (believe) that these terms can be interchangeably (互换地) used.

Cities are【小题1】 (excite) and wonderful places to live. I have always enjoyed 【小题2】 (live) in them, as there is so much 【小题3】 (do) and see. There are museums, cinemas, theatres, art galleries, parks, clubs and many other places where people can meet and exchange 【小题4】 (idea). But there are times 【小题5】 I need the peace and quiet of the countryside. Cities are 【小题6】 (interest), and they can be beautiful, 【小题7】 they are never beautiful in the way that the countryside is. By this I mean that they do not have the 【小题8】 (beautiful) of nature, trees and hills, lakes and streams. I love cities, but sometimes I need to get out into the countryside. I think that there 【小题9】 (be) many people who feel 【小题10】 same way.

Everything changes with time, and that 【小题1】 (include)the function of libraries. Before the Internet they were community centers where everyone 【小题2】 (invite)to enjoy a cup of knowledge. But, as the influence of the Internet grew, many assumed that there would no longer be 【小题3】 need for libraries—everything you could 【小题4】 (possible)want to know or learn would be just a mouse click away.

But things have proved otherwise. Community libraries are more popular than ever. One reason is that an 【小题5】 (amaze)amount of information resources remain available only on paper or other media at libraries. Sometimes, 【小题6】 (get)what you want, you have to physically go there; the internet isn’t all-knowing.

【小题7】 the convenience of the Internet, people still enjoy visiting libraries. They find comfort among the shelves 【小题8】 (pack)high with books and appreciate the smiling faces of librarians eager to help.

Libraries have evolved as the public’s needs have changed. In fact, if you haven't visited your local public library for a while, you may be surprised at 【小题9】 it now has to offer. In addition to books, many libraries also offer digital 【小题10】 (copy)of books, audiobooks, movies, and more through Internet platforms. Some libraries even offer community resources, like baking pans!
