Internet shopping is very popular with people of all ages all over the world at the moment. However, do you know when the best time for Internet shopping is? If you think that Internet shopping on a Sunday is your best choice, then please think it over again. Tuesday is actually the best day of the week if you want to get a bargain(便宜货), according to the study of online shopping.

Thursday is the second best day followed by Friday—but Sunday is when you are least likely to

make a saving. The best day of the week is Tuesday where savings are 4.81 percent, followed by Thursday at 4.80 percent. In third place is Friday at 4.65 percent, then Wednesday at 4.13 percent and Monday at 4.11 percent. Only the foolish would shop on a Saturday where the discounts are 3.84 percent and Sunday is the worst with 3.37 percent.

The study also finds that November before Christmas is when there are most bargains around on the web—and not the January sales. In fact, November is when you will get the largest savings at 5.99 percent on average. January comes in second at 4.95 percent, followed by May at 4.50 percent. The worst month to buy online is March where you could expect to save just 2.76 percent. So if you want to make a saving in Internet shopping, please choose the best time for it.

六、读写结合　(本大题分为A、B两部分，共20分)

A) 信息归纳（共5小题，每小题1分）仔细阅读下面的文章，然后完成信息表格.

In 2012, a historical film called 1942 was on screen in China. It tells us how terrible people’s life was without food. At that time, people didn’t have enough food because of a war. They could not have rice or noodles as usual. Therefore, some people had to eat everything, like tree leaves. More than seventy years later, many Chinese people are talking about food again. However, this time people talk more about food waste. A fourteen-year-old schoolboy called Wu Xin found something about food waste.

　 One day, Wu Xin went to see his mother in a big restaurant, where his mother worked. He helped his mom clean the rooms in the restaurant. In a beautiful dining room, he found that nearly all the food was left uneaten. They were still warm. But his mother was going to throw them away. “How much is it, Mum？” Wu Xin asked. “About 800 yuan.” said his mother.

　 Wu Xin was very surprised. He asked his mother why people order so much food. His

mother answered, “Some people do not think carefully before they order the food, and some are afraid that the food is not enough. But what they do is wrong. You should not learn from them.” Wu Xin told the story to his Chinese teacher who was very interested in the story. She told it to other students in the class. After hearing the story, all the students promised that they would not waste food any more.
