Online shopping has become something very common for young people, however, it's not easy for the old people to buy things on the internet. Therefore, offline Daigou stores, or buy-for-you stores, are becoming popular among the old.
64-year-old man Li Hui'an is searching for his favorite CD in an offline Daigou shop. He says, "It's very convenient to buy things online, however, I can't use the internet. After I happened to find this buy-for-you shop, I decided to try, as I wanted to buy an opera CD. Finally I got one I'd searched for several years. I was so happy. I have become crazy about offline shopping. "
The store owner Liu Min says in order to meet the need of people who want to buy things online but can't use the internet, she started the business of offline buy-for-you. In only about ten days since the start of the business, she has received more than 20 orders from customers (顾客). Liu Min is not the only one who finds the large need of offline buy-for-you business in the market. In Dalian city, northeast China, more than 300 such stores opened their doors only in April.
In order to attract more customers, they have opened their shops in residential communities (居民区). And they charge a suitable service fee. For example, when buying things that cost less than 200 Yuan for customers, they usually charge 5 Yuan as service fee.
Though the offline buy-for-you service makes it easier for certain people to shop online, what if there is any problem with the ordered thing, let's say, like a quality problem? The shop owners say they will deal with any quality problems that may happen when using their Daigou service.

How to be a Green One
What does it mean to be green? “Green is more than just a c 76  .It also means taking special steps to protect the e77  --the water, the land , and the air we breathe. Why is green? Plants are green, and w78  them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for human beings(人类). Here’s a four-step guide to be green:
R79  It!
When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the earth. For example, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel(燃料) because your house uses fuel to run the water heater（加热器）that warms up the water.
Reuse It !

Recycle(回收) It!
Recycling has n83 been easier. Many people will pick it up right in front of your house and they will need it. Tell your mum or dad become “Head of Recycling” for your house.
Enjoy It!
It’s true that p84  is a problem, but the earth is still a large and beautiful place for you to go and study. You can start by v85  the beautiful places in you home town. Go for a hike, visit local nature centres and gardens, climb up mountains and so on.
