　　Text 10

　　Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that

　　they are called “mall rats”. Mall rats shop until they drop in hundreds of stores under one roof.

　　People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or

　　private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.

　　The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million

　　square feet. It has 350 stores, 8 night clubs, and a 7-acre car park! There are parking spaces for 12750 cars. About 750000 people shop there every week.

　　The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People loved doing all their shopping in one place, so more and more malls were built around the country. Now, malls are like town centers where people come to do many things. They shop, of course, but they also eat food in courts and have food from all over the world. They see movies in movie theaters. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of “mall walking”. Others go to malls just to meet friends. In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist and even attend church. In other words, people can do just about everything in malls. Now residents can actually live in their favorite shopping center.
