Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Shopping
online
in
search
of
a
bargain(便宜货)can
often
leave
you
feeling
disappointed
or
out
of
pocket
rather
than
satisfied.
You
can
avoid
this
by
following
our
simple
advice:
PRODUCT—Before
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
don't
expect
price
comparison
sites
to
be
a
sure-fire
way
of
getting
a
bargain.
The
sites
will
only
show
products
from
companies
who
pay
them.
This
is
not
necessarily
a
bad
thing—suppliers
value
their
reputation(名声)and
their
business
relationships.
AND
SEARCH
AGAIN—Before
you
buy
you
should
search
the
product
using
a
price
comparison
service,then
try
again
just
using
a
standard
search
engine—it
might
find
the
product
with
a
cheaper
price.
If
you
use
Firefox
to
surf
the
web
then
there's
an
add-on
(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
you're
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
shouldn't
disturb
your
day
to
day
internet
surfing.
The
add-on
is
supported
by
well-known
brands(品牌)such
as
BT,Comet
and
HMV
but
obviously
it
won't
search
every
single
site
out
there,so
it
is
still
best
to
use
a
comparison
site
in
addition
to
the
tool.

to
decide
what
product
to
buy
A.By
shopping
online.
B.By
searching
online.
C.By
looking
for
the
cheapest
price.
D.By
deciding
which
is
best.

the

that
______.
A.we
don't
need

use
two
or
more
