Asia-Pacific consumers are the world's largest group of online shopping lovers and many rely on Internet reviews when making purchases, research firm Nielsen said this week.
The firm said 35% of consumers in Asia-Pacific used over 11% of their monthly spending to make online purchases, compared to a global average of 27% of consumers.
South Koreans were the heaviest online buyers in Asia, with 59% direc
ting more than 11% of their monthly spending to online purchases, followed by 41% in China, Nielsen said in a report.
A further 31% of Asian
consumers use between 6% and 10% of their monthly shopping purchases to buy items online.
More Asia-pacific consumers also intend to buy online in the next six months than those from other regions, with South Koreans and Chinese the most likely to make such purchases.
Among the purchases consumers in the region are likely to make in the next six months are books, clothing, shoes, airline tickets, electronic equipment and hotel reservations.
"Technology and the Internet will very likely basically change how and where shoppers spend their money and interact with sellers,” said Pete Gale, a managing director at Nielsen's Retailer Services.
"We are seeing a strong trend in markets like Korea, where a significant population of online shoppers buy essentials such as groceries, cosmetics and nutrition supplies over the Internet."
Nielsen said opinions posted online were important in Asia-pacific customers' decisions to buy products such as cosmetics, cars, software and food.
Asia-pacific consumers were also the most likely to share dissatisfaction at a product on the Internet compared with consumers elsewhere.
"The increasing accessibility of the Internet and unbelievable popularity of social media and online discussion forums mean today's brands have nowhere to hide, " said Megan Clarken, Asia-Pacific managing director at Nielsen's online division.
Nielsen said in June that social media such as Facebook and Twitter or blogging sites had become powerful tools influencing what people buy and urged businesses to embrace the trend.
1.What influences Asia-Pacific consumers most when making purchases online?

How to Help a Teenager Make Good Decisions
Habitually poor decision making is actually common in teenagers. Naturally, such a habit makes parent-teen cooperation difficult, especially when a parent wants his teen to do what a " responsible adolescent" would do. A poor decision-making teenager can never run away from his responsibilities. 1.
● Distinguish real problems from acts of pure "teenagerism". Teens often make poor decisions simply because they don-t have the experiences. By making small and harmless mistakes, like a recently- developed habit of careless consuming, a teen learns good decision-making skills on his own via self-correction.__ 2. Don't think the teen is making bad decisions just to challenge you. It's more likely it is out of a real inability to determine what's best for him.
● 3. Tell your teen you understand his decisions while simply emphasizing that you don't have to agree with his decisions or treat his views as valid. By not judging his opinions, tastes or style, you are opening the road for better communication and problem solving opportunities.
- Set clear expectations. 4. For example, if your teen refuses to study for his math final because "math is pointless," explain that you expect him to perform well in school, even in the "pointless" classes. Because you've already tolerated his opinion without trying to change his viewpoint, you two can easily agree that math isn't so useful, yet avoid saying "Let's just give up on math, then."
● Find a middle ground. Trade insignificant freedoms, such as clothing style for the promise that he'll live up to academic and family responsibilities. 5._ Not only does giving up a bit of control solve many conflicts, but the extra freedom you give him can also improve his decision-making.
A.Show tolerance.
B. Learn to solve problems.
C. Point out your expectations and his responsibilities.
D. If your teen could realize it, allow him to be himself.
E. A responsible adolescent must have role models to learn from.
F. Therefore, it’s important to guide them with problem-solving strategies.
G. Next time, he'll be more likely to think twice before making his buying decision.

Your car is a necessary part of your life. You use it every day. Of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer. But despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.
Each year, car crime costs nearly £3 billion. Of course, if you’re insured, you won’t lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories (配件) in the car.
Now comes the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible secret locations in your car, is the key of our system. If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a computer gives the vehicle’s exact location, speed and direction.
The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicle’s location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned to you.
RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen. RAC Trackstar’s constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the car’s location. All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again.
1.If your car is stolen, you will have to ______.
A. pay more insurance
B. hire a new car
C. buy a RAC Trackstar system
D. inform the National Control Center
2.The Trackstar system can tell the police ______.
A. how the car is stolen
B. who the thief is
C. where the car is
D. what brand the car is
3.The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the local police station
B. the RAC Trackstar Control
C. the Guardian Option
D. the insurance company
4.According to the passage, people with RAC Trackstar ______.
A. automatically find directions
B. seldom get their vehicles damaged
C. are more likely to get the stolen cars back
D. have less chance of being in an accident

The Christmas season is often considered the season of giving. Many of us spend a lot of effort and money in an attempt to give our friends and loved ones the best possible gift. But what is the best gift you could possibly give?
Imagine that your bank gave you an account with $86,400 every morning of every day. You could use this amount of money for anything you want. But at the end of every day, the bank tells you that money in the account can only be used within that day. How would you choose to spend this money?
This is the attitude we should take towards the time. Time can never get back. It is the only resource that 
no one can get more than another person.
Around the holiday season, we find ourselves very busy. It is a point in the year where how you spend your time is crucial. Spending this valuable time to help another human being in need is one of the greatest gifts we can give. We never know when even giving a short amount of time to help or listen to a stranger, could make the re
st of their day much more pleasant.
However, the saying that money is time is one of the truest statements ever made. By the act of donating money to a non profit organization which helps — for example, you are allowing that single mother to spend more time looking after her children, instead of being forced to spend time looking for a temporary second job. By donating some money, you have helped someone else use their time for a better cause.
One organization I personally would encourage you to consider spending your time and/or money would be Eva Initiatives, an organization created for the homeless. I have volunteered there twice. It was a very positive experience, and being able to learn more about who lived there really gave me a perspective on the real struggles of the people around us.
1.What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To imply choosing the proper gifts for others.
B. To introduce the theme of the passage.
C. To arouse attention from the readers.
D. To show giving gifts is a common practice.
2.What can we conclude from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs?
A. Lost time never returns.
B. Time is sure to tell the truth.
C. Time tries friends as fire tries gold.
D. Time can create great wonders.
3.What do you think of the author in the passage?
A. Warm-hearted.
B. Responsible.
C. Encouraging.
D. Strong-minded.
