For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A）, B）, C) and D）.You should decide which is the correct answer.TASK 1I know a woman who likes to do grocery shopping, but I also know a whole lot of people who hate it! People who hate shopping are likely to like supermarkets, those huge stores where almost everything you need to feed your family or to clean and maintain your home is available in one location.The supermarket saves me both money and time. The little corner grocery store is often more conveniently located, pleasant and open at late hours when the supermarket is closed. But the grocer must charge you more than the big market for most items because he can only buy a small number of cases at a time; thus the supermarket can buy cheaper and can sell cheaper to you.When I enter a supermarket I take a big, wheeled basket and roll it around from aisle (走廊，通道) to aisle. Fresh and frozen foods, canned goods, boxes, bags and bottles soon fill up my cart. I also buy many non-food items such as paper napkins, plastic wraps (to keep food fresh under refrigeration), laundry detergent (洗涤剂), light bulbs, etc. Some foods that have already been cooked (like chicken) or prepared (like salads) are available in the "delicatessen" section of the market. But they are often too expensive for my food budget.There is one big danger in supermarket shopping: there are thousands of items within hand's reach on the shelves, all attractively packaged. The temptation (诱惑) to buy things you don't really need or want is very strong! Don't be fooled by the pictures on the boxes; for example, a box with a picture of a beautiful cake on it may only contain a cake mix. Read the labels.1.
