They gathered around an expensive carpet（地毯）. When salesman asked them what they were doing, these people said that they were shopping as a group. And a few seconds later, they went away quickly.
Today, the flash mob is becoming more and more popular among young people. It appears in many cities around the world. I watched some videos of flash mobs on the Internet. They are very interesting. Why do people organize such activities
