Some even like window-shopping. They like looking at goods and people at shops. Some others always try to show off in the public eye. Especially, young women like going to super-markets to show how smart, cool or beautiful they are so that other people will admire them. [提示] foreseeable 可预见的。e-commerce 电子商业。online shopping 网上购物。
