In the wrld f nline shpping, many nline purchases are based n careful cnsideratin f star ratings and prduct reviews left by cmplete strangers. But shuld yu trust custmer reviews when deciding what t purchase? And d these mysterius reviewers have yur best interests in mind? Here's what yu need t knw.
Cnsumers tday are skeptical, says Zach Pardes at review platfrm Trustpilt. “We live in a time when trust is cmpletely under attack,” Pardes says. “S peple are reading reviews and cnsuming them mre than ever befre, but I think there is a healthy skepticism at times f what they're reading. Fake （假的） reviews d' exist. Fake reviews include, but aren't limited t, rbt-generated reviews and reviews that are influenced by the seller.”
Of curse, nt all user reviews yu read nline are fake. High-quality reviews are a valuable tl when making a variety f purchases. Pardes says Trustpilt features a team in place t detect and remve fake reviews. Perhaps ne f the best-knwn review websites is Yelp. Yelp takes measures t ensure “high-quality cntent,” says Kathleen Liu, a cmpany spkespersn. That includes allwing Yelp's cmmunity f business wners and users t flag cntent that may g against the site's terms f service.

Check mre than ne review surce. Pardes advises cnsumers t read reviews n multiple platfrms. “If yu're abut t bk a $10, 000 vacatin, yu'd never rely nly n the phts and the reviews psted by that htel's marketing team,” he says. “Yu are ging t want t use a third-party independent resurce.” Read mre than a handful f reviews. Pardes says there is “safety in numbers.” Questin perfectin. Pardes says cnsumers shuldn't trust reviews that shw nly five stars. “Nbdy's perfect s yu can't pssibly have a perfect five-star review in every single categry f yur business.” he says.
8. What des Pardes imply abut cnsumers in Paragraph2?
A. They are ften influenced by sellers. B. They must have lng lst trust in sellers.
C. They ften fail t recgnize fake reviews. D. They shuld be cautius f prduct reviews nw.

Recycling is a great way f ding yur bit fr the envirnment and helping t prtect the earth's precius resurces. Hwever, a new study has revealed that ur desire t be sustainable maybe ding mre harm than gd. Accrding t waste cmpany Biffa, this is because f “wish-cycling”— assuming that items such as dispsable cffee cup sand pizza bxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pllutin frm thse items r ther nn-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the crrect bin ging t landfill.

Larger items, like electrnics, furniture and batteries, can als be recycled but ften can nt g in husehld recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need t be taken t recycling centers r sustainable waste management cmpanies.
“It's vital as a natin that we get better at effective ‘re-cycling’— srting waste crrectly befre cllectin t reduce pllutin rates,” added Mr. Heatn.

Five minutes later, I was headed t the stre n my bike: helmet n my head and ld package n my back. As I rde the tw miles t the stre, I nticed the temperature seemed t have gne up a little. When I entered the stre, I headed straight t the chicken cunter. I picked a package weighing slightly ver ten punds, and then headed fr the checkut.
After getting utside, reality set in when the air hit my face It was really ht. I realized I didn't have the car, s the chicken wuld be riding n my back. I put it int my backpack and thught t myself, “It's nly tw miles. If I cncentrate, I will be hme in n time.” Actually the partlally frzen chicken felt cld against my back. but the rest f me was beginning t sweat.
As I apprached a signal light, it turned yellw s I stpped. Suddenly, I heard a wman screaming. The light turned green but the cars didn't mve. Maybe there had been an accident? I lked behind me even thugh I never heard any cars crash.
What I saw was a small crwd f peple cming up the rad twards me. I heard smene yell, “I'm a nurse.” I lked arund again and still, n accident. Mving faster, this crwd f flks started talking ludly in my directin. “Are yu all right? We are here t help.” “Wh are they talking t?” I wndered. “Can we help yu?” They all asked.
