Do you have extra stuff on your hands? The Internet can help you turn that extra stuff into cash. Before the Internet, Americans sold stuff from their garages or yards. Online shopping sites now provide a new place for people around the world.
eBay was the first site where individual sellers could sell goods online. Ten years later, eBay now has over 150 million users in more than 30 countries.
This trend has spread quickly around the globe. Major companies now see the Asian market as having the most potential. American companies Amazon and Yahoo both recently partnered with large Chinese sites.
Selling on an Internet auction (拍卖) is actually quite simple. First, users pay a fee to list their goods. Buyers then bid on the item. When the auction closes, the highest bidder wins. The seller is then responsible for shipping it. After the sale, the buyer and seller can post comments about the sale on each other’s profile.
Don’t want an auction to decide the price for you? Choose a site where you can decide instead. Craigslist has community-based sites worldwide where users can list items for sale with a suggested price.
Ready to put your used stuff online? First, find a Web site that serves your area. eBay and Yahoo Auctions both have Web sites in many Asian countries. Second, make sure to market your item well. When writing the description, use accurate and specific details. Include a picture; buyers like to see the product before purchasing it.
You needn’t decide to buy or sell anything today, but go ahead and start browsing. You might find something you could use. Make your money stretch with these "online garage sales."
According to the passage, the Internet provides a large market for______.
选项
A、old and worn things
B、old and used things
C、new and hand-made things
D、new and machine-made things
答案
B
解析
本题为语义猜测题。第一段说如今互联网能帮人们将多余的物品(extra Stuff)变成钱。并且还说在互联网出现之前,美国人出售自家车库或院子存放的物件,而今,网站为世界各地的人们提供出售这些物品的新场所。在文章倒数第二段又提到“你是否已准备好将你用过的物品(used stuff)放到网上销售?”,因此,从上下文推断,文中提到的“extra stuff”和“used stuff”就是指旧货(old and used things),正确答案是B。选项A、C、D明显与文章内容不符。
