When I was fifteen years old, I became very interested in shopping. After a while being just a buyer, I wanted to 1 something. I had many things that I no longer needed at home.

On July 18th, 2015, I made my own account and began to start my own 3 . Things were going great and then I realised that selling things around the house wasn’t 4 for me, so I decided to expand(拓展) my business by running a re-sale shop. I went around to the yard sales and bought things at low prices and sold them at 5 prices to make money.
Last October, I went to a yard sale that was a little bit different. A lady had many nice things to sell. I went up to her and had a 6 with her.

Ⅱ.[2018·安徽]阅读理解
Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
