第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Hot
Science
The
Benefits
Experts
have
found
that
there
are
clear
health
benefits
of
drinking
tea.
Research
has
led
to
the
discovery
that
chemicals
found
in
tea
can
help
prevent
cell
damage.
And
there
is
clear
evidence
that
drinking
three
to
four
cups
of
tea
a
day
will
reduce
the
chances
of
heart
attacks
and
certain
cancers.
Other
health
benefits
include
bone
strengthening
and
protection
against
bad
teeth."Drinking
tea
is
actually
better
for
you
than
drinking
water,"
said
one
doctor.
Re-hydration
There
was
also
some
interesting
information
on
the
qualities
of
tea.
The
research
dispels
the
fear
that
tea
is
dehydrating(脱水）。＂Everyone
assumes
that
caffeine-containing
drinks
such
as
tea
dehydrate,"
a
leading
expert
explained."But
even
if
you
had
a
really
strong
cup
of
tea,you
would
still
have
a
gain
of
fluid
（液体）。In
terms
of
fluid
intake,we
recommend
1.5
to
2
litres
per
day,and
that
can
include
tea.
Tea
is
not
dehydrating.
It's
a
healthy
drink."
The
Negative
Side
There
was
only
one
bit
of
bad
news
about
tea.Research
suggests
that
tea
can
affect
the
body's
ability
to
absorb
iron
from
food.
This
means
that
people
at
risk
of
anaemia(贫血）should
avoid
drinking
tea
around
mealtimes.
Tea
Jokes
Why
was
the
teacher
angry
with
the
Teapot?
Because
he
was
"naughtea".
What
did
the
teapot
wear
to
bed?
A"nightea".
Tea
Facts
Here
are
some
truly
amazing
tea
facts.
Tea·comes
from
the.leaves
of
a·tree
called
camellia
sinensis.The
tree
can
grow
over
10
metres
tall.
However,
it
is
cut
short
so
that
the
leaves
can
be
taken
easily.
Tea
is
grown
in
India,
Sri
Lanka,
China,
Indonesia,
Argentina,
'Kenya;
Japan,
,Bangladesh,Uganda,
Malawi,
Turkey,
Iran,
Brazil
and
Tanzania.India
is
the
world's
largest
tea
producer.
Eighty
percent
of
the
caffeine
in
tea
can
be
removed
by
pouring
hot
water
over
the
leaves.
21.
Tea
is
unable
to
help
prevent
A.heart
attacks

B
I've
been
writing
since
before
I
could
write.
As
a
kid,
I
dictated
stories
to
my
parents.About
12
years
ago,I
was
living
in
New
York
City
and
pursuing
a
master
in
creative
writing.
For
years
I'd
been
suffering
vision
disorder,but
in
New
York
my
symptoms
worsened.
I
became
unable
to
read
or
write
for
any
considerable
length
of
time.
I
tried
vision
therapy(疗法），an
overhead
projector,a
special
pair
of
glasses-all
in
vain.
Eventually,I
discovered
a
computer
program
for
the
visually
challenged.
As
I
typed,my
words
were
read
aloud
by
an
automated
voice.
With
my
screen
dimmed
to
black,I
relied
entirely
on
audio
feedback
to
know
what
I
had
written.
Facing
the
blank
page
is
worrying,but
facing
the
black
page
is
worse.
The
dark
screen
is
a
sinkhole
that
swallows
creative
hope.
Sentences
disappear
into
it
like
an
astronaut
into
a
black
hole.
I
managed
to
complete
my
master
degree,
but
it
took
me
years
to
adapt
to
my
new
reality.
The
greatest
barrier
seemed
to
be
the
automated
voice,
which
was
like
a
robot
parrot
on
my
shoulder,
and
I
wanted
nothing
more
than
to
drive
it
away.
If
a
pianist
were
forced
to
practice
on
an
untuned
piano,would
it
corrupt
his
ear
over
time?
Of
course,I
could
have
quit
writing
and
stopped
making
myself
suffer.But
it
honestly
never
occurred
to
me-and
I'm
glad
it
didn't.
Last
year,
after
I
told
my
story
on
the
radio,I
was
contacted
by
VocaliD,a
Massachusetts-based
company
that
created
a
voice
modeled
on
my
own.
The
first
time
I
heard
the
voice
they
created,
it
is
so
close
to
my
own
that
the
two
are
nearly
indistinguishable.
I've
only
just
begun
using
this
new
voice.
My
hope
is
that
this
will
restore
a
sense
of
solitude(孤独）
to
my
writing
process,allowing
me
easier
access
to
that
inner
space
where
the
imagination
can
take
over,
and
I
can
forget
myself,
and
the
real
work
can
begin.
The
black
screen
still
exists-it
always
will-but
the
robot
parrot
has
taken
wing.
24.What

to
the
author
when
pursuing
a
master
degree
in
New
York?
A.His
sight
started
to
fail
due
to
much
reading.
B.His
eyes
couldn't
sustain
long
hours
of
reading.
C.He
had
to
drop
out
due
to
his
vision
disorder.
D.He
successfully
overcame
his
vision
problem.
25.What
still
bothered
the
author
after
he
got
his
master
degree?
A.
The
untuned
automated
voice.
B.The
pet
parrot
on
his
shoulder.
C.The
computer
with
a
dark
screen.
D.The
noise
from
a
neighboring
pianist.
26.How
did
the
author
feel
when
first
hearing
the
voice
created
by
VocaliD?
A.
Excited.
B.Annoyed.C.Unmoved.
D.Relaxed.
27.What
can
we
infer
from
the

A.
The
automated
voice
is
too
annoying
to
bear.
B.The
author
can
restore
his
sight
to
normal.
C.The
author
starts
to
enjoy
his
writing
again.
D.It
is
likely
that
the
technology
will

C
As
a
CEO
of
a
startup,
you
get
used
to
hearing"no".You
also
face
an
endless
continuation
of
what
feels
like
shocking
crises,
like
nearly
running
out
of
cash,
losing
a
key
customer,discovering
a
widespread
product
failure,
or
having
to
shut
down
operations
because
of
a
global
pandemic.
But
it
tums
out
that
these
disasters
can
actually
be
good
for
you.
In
fact,I'm
not
sure
whether
you
can
innovate
without
them.
Here's
what
all
our
crises
have
taught
me.
It's
good
to
be
uncomfortable.
We
once
had
a
key
customer
request-a
battery
capability
that
we'd
never
developed
before.
The
customer
made
it
clear
that
if
we
couldn't
develop
this
capability,
they'd
be
less
confident
in
our
product.
We
wrestled
with
the
risks,
not
least
of
which
was
the
potential
embarrassment
if
we
couldn't
meet
the
customer's
needs.
We
knew
we'd
face
many
technical
problems
if
we
tried
to
go
into
operation.
Yet
we
decided
to
try
to
satisfy
the
customer,
even
if
it
wasn't
obvious
at
first
how
we
could
get
it
done.
A
few
weeks
later
we
delivered
something
beyond
what
the
customer
had
asked
for,
and
we've
since
grown
this
capability
into
a
powerful
sales
tool
and
potential
revenue
stream-not
to
mention
it
strengthened
our
relationship
with
the
customer.
Short-term
failure
is
good.
A
few
years
ago,
our
company
began
to
expand
our
manufacturing
output
in
response
to
a
customer's
need.
In
the
process
we
discovered
something
unusual
we
hadn't
seen
during
smaller-scale
production.
Our
team
dived
into
failure
analysis,
and
we
finally
put
the
problem
down
to
a
single
material
within
the
battery.
We'd
used
this
material
for
years,
but
now
we
needed
a
replacement.
Once
we
made
that
change,the
battery
quality
and
reliability
greatly
improved.
It's
okay
to
show
weakness.
One
of
my
hardest
days
as
CEO.was
the
day
when
I
found
out
I
was
pregnant.We
were
in
the
middle
of
raising
a
funding
round,
and
I
had
been
traveling
nonstop
for
a
year.
Until
that
day,I
had
assumed
that
my
role
as
CEO
was
to
display
strength
and
confidence.
With
the
mounting
pressure
I
was
harder
on
myself
than
I
needed
to
be,
and
now
I
had
the
added
stress
of
being
pregnant.I
decided
to
acknowledge
to
my
team
that
I
was
breaking
down.
They
united
together
and
found
ways
to
operate
more
smoothly
and
communicate
more
effectively,
supporting
me
to
focus
my
time
on
most
pressing
goals.
This
gave
me
not
only
the
space
to
plan
for
the
company’s
future,but
also
to
prepare
for
my
own
new
normal:
leading
while
becoming
a
first-time
mother.

D
Worried
about
the
effect
reality
TV
is
having
on
your
child?
You
aren't
being
overprotective-there's
increasing
evidence
that
these
programmes
can
have
a
big
impact
on
young
people.
When
our
children
are
young,we
tend
to
give
careful
thought
to
how
much
TV
they're
watching
and
whether
or
not
it's
good
for
them.
But
as
they
grow
up,
most
parents
let
their
kids
make
more
independent
choices
about
their
viewing.
However,
if
you've
got
children,
you
may
want
to
stay
attentive.
A
research
indicates
that
some
reality
TV
shows
can
be
every
bit
as
damaging
for
teenage
girls
as
too
many
cartoons.are
for
kids－perhaps
even
worse.
The
truth
is
that
reality
TV
is
anything
but
reality-but
that's
not
necessarily
what
our
children
believe.A
study
for
the
Girl
Scout
Research
Institute
in
the
US
found
that
eight
out
of
ten
girls
aged
between
11
and
17
who
regularly
watch
reality
shows
believe
these
programmes
describe
real
life.
In
fact,much
of
reality
TV
is
a
heavily
manipulated(操控）view
of
what's
really
happening,
and
the
worst
of
it
strengthens
the
sort
of
female
stereotypes(刻板印象）women
have
spent
decades
trying
to
remove.
Many
of
the
women
on
reality
TV
shows
are
acting
out
lives
as
teenage
mothers
or
drama
queens.Strong,hard-working,purposeful
young
women
with
ambitions
beyond
their
looks
are
rare
in
these
programmes.There's
a
widespread
emphasis
on
the
value
of
women
being
about
how
they
look
and
dress,which
gives
young
viewers
the
message
that
being
a
woman
is
all
about
style
and
appearance,
not
what
you
do
or
stand
for.
Cultural
critic
and
writer
Jennifer
Pozner
describes
reality
TV
as
"the
contemporary
backlash（抵制）against
feminism".Imran
Siddiguee,Director
of
Social
Media
and
Outreach,
is
concerned
that
these
programmes
show
the
worst
stereotypes
of
womanhood
and
“normalize"
them
in
what
appear
to
be
everyday
settings."They
offer
such
a
limited
view
of
what
it
is
to
be
a
woman,
and
all
over
the
world
young
girls
are
addicted
to
it,"he
says.
Siddiquee
does
recognize,
however,that
many
girls
themselves
value
reality
TV.Some
say
it
encourages
them
to
think
about
situations
different
from
their
own.
They
also
point
out
that
some
shows
feature
women
running
their
own
successful
businesses.
＂It's
important
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
some
useful
elements
in
reality
TV,"Siddiquee
says."But
many
girls
need
to
be
inspired
to
think
more
critically
about
some
aspects
of
these
shows
so
they're
not
manipulated
by
them
and
so
their
behaviour
doesn't
change
because
of
them."
We
should
encourage
our
children
to
be
critical
thinkers
and
help
them
develop
their
media
literacy.
Whether
reality
TV
is
changing
our
children's
views,
or
whether
they
are
attracted
to
programmes
that
agree
with
their
beliefs,
it's
vital
we
recognize
that
their
viewing
habits
could
strengthen
these
unbalanced
ideals.
32.Who
are
likely
to
be
the
prime
victims
of
reality
TV
shows?
A.Small
children.
B.Teenage
girls.
C.New
parents.
D.Random

You
probably
know
that
exercise
is
good
for
you.
Studies
show
that
it
can
prevent
many
major
health
conditions,including
cognitive
decline,diabetes,
certain
cancers
and
more.
36
＂Our
lives
are
completely
full.
We
may
have
children,aging
parents,
jobs,
partners,and
community,"says
Barbara
Hannah
Grufferman,
author
of
The
Best
of
Everything
After
50.
If
you
don't
have
a
regular
exercise
plan,don't
worry!
There
are
simple
things
you
can
do
to
get
more
exercise,
no
gym
membership
or
hours
of
commitment
required.
Walk-and
make
it
count
Even
if
you're
not
in
shape,
you
can
likely
walk.
And
that's
good
news,
because
many
studies
illustrate
that
it's
one
of
the
best
things
we
can
do
for
our
bodies.
Grufferman
suggests
getting
a
pedometer(计步器），whether
it's
a
simple
mechanical
one,
or
a
FitBit
or
Jawbone.
37
And
then,start
walking
faster
and
longer-most
experts
recommend
walking
10,000
steps
a
day.
Reduce
sitting
You've
probably
heard,"sitting
is
the
new
smoking."Well,this
means
that
loads
of
research
has
shown
that
sitting
for
extended
periods
of
time
can
have
serious
health
consequences
that
range
from
obesity
to
diabetes
and
more.
38
It's
also
essential
to
take
breaks
from
your
sit-down
desk.
Run
if
you
can
It
might
seem
out
of
reach,
but
if
you
can
add
some
light
running
into
your
daily
walk,
you'll
be
better
for
it.
Running
can
make
you
happier,
strengthen
your
joints,
improve
heart
health,and
improve
your
memory!
39
Then,go
for
longer
distances
gradually.
Make
it
a
habit
To
truly
make
exercise-even
the
basics-a
part
of
your
life
you'll
need
to
make
it
a
habit.
＂The
good
news
is
that
it's
never
too
late
to
start,"
says
Grufferman.
40
A.Track
your
steps
because
it's
very
motivating.
B.But
finding
time
to
get
more
exercise
can
be
challenging.
C.Make
sure
you
are
more
active
and
have
a
more
enjoyable
life.
D.Experts
suggest
using
a
standing
desk
at
least
some
of
the
time.
E.
Like
brushing
your
teeth,
you
have
to
build
exercise
into
your
life.
F.Some
experts
suggest
altermating
jogging
and
walking
to
get
started.
G.Get
the
recommended
amount
of
exercise
for
your
age
to
get
the
most
benefit.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My
first
year
living
in
Los
Angeles,I
was
a
birthday-party
clown(小丑）。I
41
with
my
identity
because,though
I
viewed
myself
as
a
filmmaker,everyone
in
my.life
associated
me
with
this
ridiculous
day
job.
For
certain
parties,
I
had
to
go
as
a
42
character,so
at
the
party
I'd
actually
be＂Mickey
Mouse"
or
"Sponge-Bob
SquarePants."One
night,I
was
told
that
I
was
going
to
be
Batman.At
the
time
I
had
a
giant
mustache
but
I
didn't
want
to
43
my
physical
appearance
for
that
job.
44,for
the
party,I
chose
not
to
shave.
Normally
at
these
parties,
you
pop
in
through
the
front
door:"Surprise!
Batman's
here!"
However,my
element
of
45
was
shot
because
they
saw
me
coming
from,like,a
quarter
of
a
mile
away,which
left
me
plenty
of
time
to
46
my
choice
not
to
shave.
Once
I
got
close
enough
for
them
to
make
out
the
47
of
my
face,
the
entire
party
48
in
laughter
and
then
into
cheers.
After
I
ran
into
the
party,they
were
49＿me.I
saw
the
birthday
boy
with
his
dad,
who
was
laughing,and
he
said,"You
see,I
told
you,son.
Batman
has·a
mustache."He
took
me
to
the
huge
birthday
cake
with
a
Batman
drawn
on
it,
and
the
Batman
had
a
mustache.I
just
stared
at
it
in
50
When
51
bringing
the
cake
out,instead
of
just
admitting
that
it
was
messed
up,
the
parents
tried
to
save
52
and
said
to
the
boy,"Batman
always
has
a
mustache.
He
just
shaves
it
for
movies."
In
a
53
of
fate,my
mustache
confirmed
what
the
parents
had
said
and
54
the
kids
that
I
was
actually
Batman.
That
day,
there
was
no
doubt
in
my
mind
what
I
was.
I
may
not
have
been
the
55
that
they
ordered
and
expected.
But
that
day,I
was
the
hero
that
they
needed.

On
a
cold,
stormy
winter
day,
an
old
friend
invited
me
out
for
a
cup
of
coffee.
We
met
by
his
house,and
as
we
walked
down
the
street,
we
passed
by
a
small
cafe
with
a
sign
hanging
on
the
door
that
read:"You're
welcome
in.
We
have
suspended
coffee."
＂Suspended
coffee?"
I
asked
my
friend."What
does
that
mean?""You've
never
heard
of
it?"
my
friend
asked,
and
I.shook
my
head.
"Follow
me,"
he
told
me,
and
we
joined
the
line
of
people
standing
in
front
of
the
cash
register.
＂What
can
I
offer
you
today?”
The
cashier
asked
a
couple
of
young
lawyers
who
were
looking
at
the
menu."I
think
we'll
take
three
cups
of
coffee,"one
of
them
said."2
now,and
1
suspended.”
The
cashier
nodded,
as
if
it
were
an
ordinary
order,
took
payment
and
placed
two
cups
of
hot
coffee
on
the
counter.
The
two
thanked
him,
took
the
two
cups
and
left
without
waiting
for
the
third.The
next
in
line
was
an
older
couple."Same
order
as
always?"
The
cashier
smiled
at
them."Yes,thank
you,"
replied
the
woman.
“But
please
add
two
suspended
coffees,
we
haven't
purchased
any
of
those
for
quite
a
while.”
A
few
minutes
later
the
couple
received
their
order,
and
our
tum
to
order
arrived."Good
morning!"
said
the
cashier."How
can
I
help
you?""I
think
we'd
like
two
cups
of
coffee,"my
friend
said."We'll
drink
them
here.”
When
our
order
was
ready,
we
took
our
cups
and
sat
down
to
drink
them
together."Will
you
tell
me
what
this
is
about?"
I
asked
my
friend,
but
he
just
said:"Wait
and
see.”
Our
conversation
flowed,
and
before
we
noticed
it,nearly
two
hours
passed.
The
cafe
was
almost
empty
of
people
when
the
door
suddenly
opened
and
a
man
in
old
shabby
clothes
and
a
tired
look
came
in
and
stood
quietly
in
front
of
the
cash
register.

Sustainable
Development
Hello,
everyone!
I’m
privileged
to
have
the
chance
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
class
here.
As
people
are
becoming
more
aware
of
the
need
to
protect
the
environment,
sustainable
development
has
become
an
irreversible
trend.
While
nearly
everything
we
do
in
modern
lives
requires
use
of
the
Earth’s
natural
resources,
they
do
have
many
disadvantages.
They
are
non-renewable
and
burning
fuels
can
be
harmful
to
the
environment.
That’s
why
people
are
pushing
for
the
use
of
alternative
energy
sources.
Alternative
energy
sources,
including
solar
energy,
wind
energy
and
hydroelectricity,
can
be
used
without
running
out.
On
top
of
this,
they
are
environment-friendly
and
beneficial
to
the
lives
of
our
children
and
grandchildren.
That’s
all.
Thank
you.
第二节
(满分25分)
He
thought
for
a
moment
and
then
asked
quietly:
“Do
you
have
a
suspended
coffee?”
The
cashier
smiled
and
nodded,
poured
the
man
a
cup
of
hot
coffee
and
placed
it
in
front
of
him.
The
man
thanked
him,
took
the
glass
and
left.
No
one
else
seemed
to
take
notice
of
this
moment,
which
appeared
to
be
ordinary
in
this
café,
but
I
could
not
help
but
be
moved
by
this
little
gesture.
However,
to
my
puzzlement,
what
does
a
suspended
coffee
mean
on
earth?
When
he
saw
my
expression,
my
friend
began
to
explain
it
to
me.
“Anyone
can
prepay
for
a
cup
of
coffee
for
someone
less
fortunate
without
making
them
feel
bad.
The
cup
of
coffee
waits
for
anyone
interested
in
it,
and
who
knows
better
than
us
what
a
warm
cup
of
coffee
can
do
for
a
cold
day.”
When
we
got
up
to
leave,
I
stopped
for
a
moment
and
went
back
to
the
cash
register.
“I
just
wanted
to
buy
another
cup
of
coffee.
Suspended.”

you
see
the
program
last
night
about
the
Olympic
Games?
It
was
brilliant.
I
learnt
so
much!
M:
Did
you?
I
thought
it
was
quite
boring.
In
fact,
I’m
not
really
interested
in
sports
programs.
W:
But
you
love
sports.
You
play
football
and
tennis
and
basketball
and
…
M:
Yes,
I
enjoy
playing
sports,
but
I
hate
watching
them
on
TV.
W:
Oh,
so
what
kind
of
TV
programs
do
you
like?
M:
To
be
honest,
I
don’t
watch
much
TV.
I
prefer
watching
movies
on
my
notebook
computer.

W:
What
do
you
think
of
the
airport?
M:
Well,
it’s
far
from
downtown
and
when
the
traffic
is
bad,
it
can
take
an
hour
and
a
half
to
get
there.
The
city
really
needs
to
build
a
new
airport
that
is
closer
to
the
city.
W:
Do
you
usually
drive
to
the
airport?
M:
No.
I
usually
take
the
airport
bus.
It’s
clean
and
comfortable,
and
it’s
a
lot
cheaper
than
driving
because
you
don’t
have
to
pay
for
parking.
But
my
wife
prefers
taking
the
subway.
W:
Is
there
much
to
do
there
while
you
wait
for
your
flight?
M:
Sure.
There
are
a
couple
of
stores
that
sell
souvenirs
and
magazines.
There
are
also
a
couple
of
fast-food
places
and
the
service
there
is
nice.
W:
How
long
does
it
take
to
check
in?
M:
It
doesn’t
take
long.
They’re
pretty
efficient.

W:
Hey
Jack,
can
I
ask
you
something?
M:
Sure,
what’s
up?
W:
Is
something
wrong
with
the
system?
I’ve
been
trying
to
get
in
for
the
past
10
minutes
but
it’s
been
kicking
me
out.
M:
It’s
all
fine
for
me.
What
do
you
mean,
“kicking
you
out”?
W:
I’m
putting
in
my
password
and
it
tells
me
the
system’s
offline.
I’ve
tried
every
single
combination
I
can
think
of
but
nothing
works.
M:
That’s
strange.
My
computer’s
been
fine.
Have
you
tried
calling
IT?
W:
I
did,
but
no
one
picked
up
the
phone.
M:
Oh,
right,
they’ve
got
a
meeting
right
now—but
you
can
interrupt
them
if
it’s
an
emergency.
W:
I
know.
I
just
didn’t
want
to
disturb
others
if
it’s
something
simple.
Besides,
I’ve
got
a
couple
of
phone
calls
to
make
today
so
I
can
make
them
now
while
I
wait.
M:
They’d
better
be
long
phone
calls,
then.
From
what
Tom
told
me,
their
meeting’s
going
to
last
three
hours.
W:
Three
hours!
What
sort
of
meeting
is
this?
M:
It’s
that
planning
meeting
about
the
factory
they
mentioned,
isn’t
it?
Yeah,
you’d
better
go
and
interrupt
them.
They’re
going
to
be
in
there
all
day.

Selling
your
things
online
helps
you
get
rid
of
those
you
don’t
need,
and
it
can
also
be
a
great
source
of
income.
One
thing
you
need
to
consider
carefully
is
the
platform
on
which
you
are
going
to
advertise.
Most
big
platforms
in
the
field
are
so
popular
with
sellers,
not
just
because
they
can
give
you
access
to
a
bigger
pool
of
potential
customers,
but
also
because
they
offer
insurance,
both
to
the
seller
and
the
buyer.
The
disadvantage,
however,
is
that
you
will
need
to
pay
some
money
for
using
the
platform.
You
can
use
some
platforms
that
either
charge
a
smaller
fee
for
advertising
or
even
no
fee
at
all
—
but,
in
that
case,
what
you
will
need
to
keep
in
mind
is
your
safety,
especially
if
the
value
of
the
product
you’re
selling
is
high.
It’s
always
best
to
meet
the
buyer
during
the
day
at
a
public
place
such
as
a
coffee
shop,
a
library,
or
a
supermarket
parking
lot
—
anywhere
monitored
by
security
cameras
is
good.
A
few
more
things
to
keep
in
mind:
always
be
accurate
with
your
descriptions
of
the
things
you
are
selling.
The
last
thing
you
want
is
to
be
accused
of
cheating
and
banned
from
the
website.
Moreover,
be
careful
with
your
personal
information:
do
not
give
out
your
full
name
and
don’t
give
out
your
home
address
or
cell
phone
number
unless
you
have
to,
and
have
a
separate
e-mail
address
for
selling
online.
Remember
that
a
smart,
prepared
seller
is
a
happy
seller.
