Read the passage and check True or False.

Many years ago, people used to buy what they needed from stores and markets. Now where would you go if you wanted to buy all these goods at one time? Ask anybody, and he would probably say "you'd better go to the supermarket". A supermarket is a special kind of market. It is usually much larger than an ordinary store. In a supermarket, you can buy all kinds of food, household, products and daily necessities. In a store, a customer is served by a storekeeper but in a supermarket, the goods are arranged on rows of shelves along the aisles. The prices are printed on small labels on the goods. A customer gets goods he needs from the shelves. This is known as self-service. Of course, you can always ask for help from the supermarket shop assistants.

When you enter a supermarket, you take a basket to carry the goods you will buy. If you want to buy a lot of things, you will need a trolley. A trolley is like a large basket on wheels. You can push it along the aisles, choose what you want from the shelves and put it into your trolley. A supermarket often provides a more comfortable environment for shopping than a market that is usually wet and dirty. As a result, many people usually buy more goods than they need when they visit a supermarket.

The use of computer and the internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work. For example, a journalist who lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the next day’s newspapers. The internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any parts of the world for the cost of a local telephone call . This means it’s inexpensive to communicate . Email allows users to send documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. The internet is providing a lot of new business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the internet. People can use the internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time.
