Group buying is one of the fastest growing trends in South Africa today.Industry leaders are confident the growth potential remains strong since group buying is locationspecific (区域性的)．Startup costs are low and profit room remains high, so many sites continue to receive invested money despite widespread criticism and Facebook's decision to phase__out__of the deals business due to privacy concerns.
In the early stages of all industries, some companies fail because they cannot compete with stronger companies in difficult economic conditions.To deal with difficult conditions, an alarming number of businesses are developing group buying websites in places like China and India, so the increase of group buying in South Africa is nothing more than a natural progression into the international mainstream.
The group buying concept is fairly new and consumers have accepted this concept because they can now make full use of the rich information available on the Internet.Group buying is convenient and easy so it works.Anyone can view a site, join a mailing list, subscribe (注册加入) to RSS or print out a coupon (优惠券)．The current group buying structure offered by the industry leaders works although there are still challenges to overcome.
Perhaps, the future of group buying is tied to the joining together of social media and mobile devices.Mobile devices are with us wherever we go and almost everyone is using some type of social media site like Facebook or Twitter to stay informed.Using GPS and social media technology to provide real time locationspecific promotions would be beneficial to every consumer looking for the best deals in town.
Pause for a moment and think about it! What is better than signing on to your phone while having fun in town and you receive a real time information that your favorite shop across the street is offering a killer deal?
The future of the group buying in South Africa is bright and we can expect to see more advanced approaches to this concept in the future.In addition to the technological advances consumers will see the range of promotions expand to include new products and services.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals.
A survey conducted recently by sina. com. showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed
63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out”. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).
The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China’s economy. In my point view, Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners’ pockets are filled, the public’s hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.
The crisis of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. 揟he country is based on its pgeople while the people are relied on their food”.
But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.
Foreign festivals in China are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people’s economic status.
1．From the survey we know that among the people surveyed ______.
A．most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous
B．many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon
C．some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing
D．half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion
2．The writer thinks that foreign festivals celebrated in China ______.
A．have lost their religious background
B．are the same as those celebrated in the West
C．can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals
D．may reduce the hunger of public people
3．What is the main difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones?
A．Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners’ pockets full quickly.
B．The food at foreign festivals is too simple.
C．Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture.
D．Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality.
4．Which of the following may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals?
A．People can relax themselves.
B．People can show their thanks to others.
C．Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones.
D．People have known more about the western culture.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Read the following reviews for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.
Happiness（Romance）★★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people （Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy）who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by email and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.
Scream I（Thriller）★★
In Scream I, Paul（Colin Jacks）is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.
Paul’s Heroes（Comedy）★★★
This is a very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers（including Sammy Turblow）have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it’s great fun getting there.
______________（Drama）★★★
This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, a hard-working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr. Lloyd（Phil Driver）who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America.
