Shopping online is easier than actually going to a store and saves your time. However, it’s not always so easy. Sometimes, you may have a few        .
A university student named Xu Zijiao often buys clothes            Taobao. “The colors might be   __        . And since you can’t           the clothes, the quality might be bad,” he said.
Many people had similar experiences to Xu---buying         that isn’t as good as the advertisements suggest,           going into a store for a special offer but still paying a lot. What would you do then?         is World Consumer Rights Day(国际消费者权益日). According to consumer(消费者) protection laws in China, consumers              nine rights, including the right to truthful information, free choice , respect and so on.
If you     there’s any problem with your goods, talk to the seller first, and try       your money back or get an exchange. If you can’t reach an agreement, call 12315 or go to your local consumers association (协会) for help.

Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or     . They paint, clean up,      their houses or do their shopping.
For boys who no longer have    , there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or fishing places and help them to get to know things that boys      learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs     boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts (工艺). Some of these clubs organize short trips to the mountains, beaches, or other places of interest     . Most of these clubs use high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to      the names of boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that the happiest people in the world are those who help to     i happiness to others.

Have you heard of this story? On July 11th every year, a local office of Project Hope (希望工程) receives a donation from a person called Xu Qin.          people later know that Xu Qin died          July 11th, 1994.
Xu Qin was Liu Wenzhen’s youngest         . Liu Wenzhen has been in the habit of making a donation to Project Hope on that day. Mrs. Liu doesn’t think her donation is a great thing. She is        helping to make her daughter’s dream come true. “ I always dream of          a teacher in the countryside because that is where my father’s home is,” said Xu Qin when she was         .
Project Hope is built to help more poor children be able to go to school. In China, the project             in 1985. Over the last twenty-two years it has helped millions of children to go to school.
As a student, we can also do something to support that project. We may save our pocket money and donate         to Project Hope. Maybe we can help those children who can’t go to school to get some            . We can also call on            to do something for the project.

I visited the forest park with Mr Cao last week. I found there were not enough         there. I’m going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It’s going to be great           —I’ll spend seven days living in a forest and enjoying the clean mountain air. I’m going to           with friends in the day and then sleep under the moon and stars. It will be a nice sport, and I’ll be able to do         good at the same time.

Nowadays more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. Their parents help them do almost everything at home, so many of them don’t know how to do           . This is really a big problem.
Liu Jie is 14-year-old. One day her partens left home for another city for work, so she had to stay at home     . At first she thought she would be happy    her parents are not at home. She could do        she liked to do. But at about six o’clock in the afternoon, she felt   . “Oh, it's time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” She said to herself. Later she found some food in the fridge, but she         know how to cook. At that moment she         her mom very much. In the end, she could only go to the supermarket and         some food to eat.
Many of teenagers are        as Liu Jie. So I think they should learn some basic life skills, like cooking, cleaning their rooms or dressing themselves      . They shouldn’t depend too much on their partens.
