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 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

(3) Bicycles have long played an important part in the liyes of American young people. But today an even
greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to
become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.
This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on
the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.
Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they
will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on
streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic,nor should they carry other people on
their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to walk bicycles across the
busy intersections (交叉路口). (4) By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also
be safe.
In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in
highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash
helmets (头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down.
Today, more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They are wearing helmets and paying closer
attention to cycling rules.
