You can avoid this by following our simple advice：PRODUCTBefore you look for the cheapest price you need to decide what product you actually want. You can do this by researching online，the easiest way is to Google for different products so that you can decide on what would be best for you.SEARCH & COMPARE You are now ready to use a comparison website to try and find out the best prices. You should never just use one comparison website，using two or more will give you a balanced view of the market. Comparison websites are necessary.You need to first check out what kind of technology a site uses. Although the idea behind Froogle(now called Google Products)is attractive，the technology it uses is not as advanced as sites such as Kelkoo and Pricerunner. Froogle uses a regular search engine.And dont expect price comparison sites to be a surefire way of getting a bargain. The sites will only show products from companies who pay them. This is not necessarily a bad thingsuppliers value their reputation(名声)and their business relationships.AND SEARCH AGAINBefore you buy you should search the product using a price comparison service，then try again just using a standard search engineit might find the product with a cheaper price.If you use Firefox to surf the web then theres an addon (附加的)tool that you can download which finds the cheapest price for a product for you.It is called the Invisible Hand and it is free to download. For example，if youre shopping online at Amazon，the Invisible Hand will pop up and tell you that it is 56 cheaper at Dixons.The tool will only work when you are looking at products，so it shouldnt disturb your day to day internet surfing. The addon is supported by wellknown brands(品牌)such as BT，Comet and HMV but obviously it wont search every single site out there，so it is still best to use a comparison site in addition to the tool.1According to the passage，how to decide what product to buy?ABy shopping online.BBy searching online.CBy looking for the cheapest price.DBy deciding which is best.2We can learn from the passage that _Awe dont need to use two or more comparison websitesBcomparison websites often give us wrong views and choicesCall the search engines are the same advancedDdifferent comparison websites use different technologies3How many tips does the author give in the passage?A1.B2.C3.D4.4Whats the exact meaning of the underlined phrase “pop up” in Paragraph 8？Its _AshoutBappearCdisappearDhide5Whats the BEST title of the passage?AHow to Find Perfect Bargains OnlineBHow to Use Search EnginesCDifferent Websites in the WorldDOnline Shoppings AdvantageBThe computer is a useful machine. It is the most important invention in many years. The oldest kind of computer is the abacus(算盘), used in China centuries ago, but the first large, modern computer was built in 1946.A computer then could do maths problems quite fast.Today computers are used in many ways and can do many kinds of work. In a few years the computer may touch the life of everyone, even people in faraway villages.In the last few years, there have been great changes in computers. They are getting smaller and smaller, and computing faster and faster, Many scientists agree that computers can now do many things, but they cannot do everything.
