Online shopping with or against

There are many different ways of shopping. The latest one is shopping online, where you can buy many different kinds of goods by using the internet. In order to pay for what you want to buy, a credit card is used and all the items will be sent to your address.
As it is clear, there are many advantages of online shopping. To name some: the huge collection available for you to choose what you want from. The easiness of receiving what you have chosen no matter where they are originally from. The fact that you are actually buying things while you are sitting in your home without going all the troubles of the other ways of shopping.
It is true that online shopping seems perfect and convenient, but it has its own dark sides! You can be a victim of a theft because you can't be 100 % sure which site is save to buy from and which one isn't. Moreover, your personal information can sometimes be taken by others and usually misused. Getting the things you bought is expensive because you have to pay for the shipping and the membership fees.
Online shopping is indeed a new step in the marketing world. It may have its negative points but one can't deny the great things it actually do for the buyers.

Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
The word diet in English has more than o­ne meaning. The most general meaning of the noun is "a person's or a group's usual food choices and habits." In a more specific meaning, diet means “an eating plan with o­nly certain kinds or amounts of food.” For instance, a diet is often a plan to lose weight. And as a verb, diet means "to lose weight." People can "go o­n a diet". In other words, they are subject to a program in the purpose of losing weight – mainly accumulated fat.
The global diet these days wherever you go includes fast food-prepared items from inexpensive restaurants, snack bars, or food courts. Some examples of typical American fast food are burgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken. Some common international fast foods might be Middle Eastern shawarma and falafel, German sausage and schnitzel, Italian pizza and pasta, Mexican tacos and burritos, Japanese sushi and tempura, and Chinese egg rolls and noodles. Why is this kind of food becoming even more universal, or worldwide? First, fast-food restaurants usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Second, many fast-food restaurants are part of fast-food chains (eating places with the same name and company owner). For instance, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in every continent o­n the planet except Antarctica. Its menu items may not be exactly alike in all cultures, but its 25,000 restaurants all have the same look and style. The atmosphere seems comfortable and familiar. Third, the items at fast-food places usually cost less than meals in formal restaurants or special dishes made at home. Finally, most people usually find this type of food delicious, and they ignore its bad influence o­n their health.
