　　(2017·长沙高三模拟)Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us，shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our

　　spare time and our money.For me，it’s something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness for the

　　Internet! It’s more convenient to buy CDs，electrical items，even food，from the comfort of your

　　sofa.But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services

　　cheaper online.But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of

　　shopping called“showrooming”．

　　Showrooming is something I’ve done.I will go to a shop to see，touch and try out products

　　but then go home and buy them online at a knock－down price. I’m not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof，found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas

　　shopping in 2017.

　　Amy Cashman，Head of Technology at TNS UK，says the reasons for this new shopping

　　habit are that“people are lacking time，lacking money and they want security about the products

　　they are buying”．She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.
