    Tom and Mike were good friends. Sometimes they were kind to each other, sometimes they were not. But some of their classmates(同班同学) said they were like brothers.

    One day they went out for a walk together. At noon they were very hungry and they went into a restaurant to have lunch. The waiter(侍者) came up to them and asked, "What can I do for you?"

    "Please bring us two apples first." said Tom. When the waiter put the two apples on the table, Mike took the bigger one at once (立刻). Tom got angry.     "You are impolite(没有礼貌), Mike. Why didn't you take the smaller one?" Tom said.

    "But I was right," said Mike with a smile. "If let you take first, which one will you choose(选择)?" "Of course I'll take the smaller one," said Tom. "Yes," Mike said, "If you take the smaller one. the bigger one will still be mine don't you think so?" "Oh" Tom couldn't answered.

    "Who needs a shopping mall (购物中心) if you have Taobao?" says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.

    Taobao, China's largest online shopping site (网上购物网站), has become an important part of Wang Lin's life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

    A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop on line than men. Clothing and home-use products(产品) are the most popular on line.

    It was reported that more than 250 billion(十亿) yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.

    Taobao means "looking for treasure" in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.

    You may question the security of online shopping ,Wang Lin said, "It's very safe and convenient(便利的). Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the products."
