The cold weather in winter chill couldn’t stop their steps. With excitement, villagers at the foot of Mount Qomolangma hurry up to open their parcels at a delivery office. Here is the world’s highest delivery service station.
Located in the town of Tashi Dzom in Tibet autonomous region (西藏自治区的扎西宗乡), the delivery office was set up in 2016. Before that, local people had to spend around four hours to collect parcels from the town center. But the delivery office brings great convenience and this encourages more people to order online. According to Yang Tao, the only worker at the delivery office, the office handled only 17 parcels in its first month. But thanks to the fast-growing development of industry, the number has grown to about 200 per month.
Not only has the number of parcels increased, but the items being delivered have become richer in kinds. “At the beginning, the orders were mainly clothes. Now it could be something like digital items, vehicle parts, snacks, sports gear and so on,” Yang told China Daily. Though people in China’s eastern regions may have been used to it, the delivery office indeed makes a difference for the local people. Tsering Dekyi, a 25-year-old primary school teacher in the town, has been a big fan of online shopping since university. “It is out of my expectations that we can have a delivery service here. I am happy that I can go shopping online as before,” she said. “I like shopping online as there are not many shops around.” This also helps the country’s economy. Now, China is working to develop the market as part of the “dual-circulation” development pattern (双循环发展模式).
Ding Kun, an employee of Cainiao Network, told China Daily that “people cannot easily do online shopping when there is no delivery office. Now the service can help people in faraway areas see a different world.”

B. something very important
C. make something difficult to deal with
D. something cheap to buy

B. Tsering Dekyi has shopped online since she was a student in university.
C. The number of the parcels is over 12 times as big as that of the first month in 2016 when the service station was set up.
D. The delivery office has not only changed local people's lives but also increased China's economy.
9. Which do you think is the best title for the article

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to
our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words; reduce(减少), reuse and recycle(循环使用).
Reduce means" use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse mean" use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup (瓷杯) and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means" change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees. 新|课 |
