Perhaps a catalogue (商品目录) has been sent to you. Why do people buy things they have not seen in person? Some people believe that things can be bought more cheaply by mail. Another good thing about buying by mail is that it is easier and more enjoyable to sit at home and work through a catalogue than to shop around the stores. With a catalogue from a large company, you have your own shop window for almost everything you want to buy.

Buying from a catalogue is so easy. It saves the shopper's time and trouble. Sometimes, it saves the shopper's money, too. But people often buy more than they can really afford(付得起) or need, because many things look so good to them. They can probably pay a certain part of the full price—a down payment. Then they pay a certain amount of money every month until the goods is paid for in full. But by then they often find what they have bought are of no use at all.

Why do people buy things without seeing them in person?

A．To enjoy themselves.

B．To save money and trouble.

C．To get more than they need.

right to keep any animals now. A police officer told a Brooklyn court (法庭) that he had found 15 dogs and 20 cats living in a small room which was just 10 feet by 12 feet. "There was not enough place for one animal, let alone 35," he said. "The room was very dirty."

"The animals are taken good care of," Ms. Blunsden told the court. "I take them all for walks in a shopping cart (购物车)." When the court asked Ms. Blunsden why she kept so many animals, she said, "Everybody loves animals and I do, too. You may think that my room is too small for so many animals, but I think it is just right."
