V. Read the passage and check True or False.
Many years ago, people used to buy what they needed from stores and
markets. Now where would you go if you wanted to buy all these goods at one
time? Ask anybody, and he would probably say "you'd better go to the


supermarket". A supermarket is a special kind of market. It is usually much larger
than an ordinary store. In a supermarket, you can buy all kinds of food, household,
products and daily necessities. In a store, a customer is served by a storekeeper but
in a supermarket, the goods are arranged on rows of shelves along the aisles. The
prices are printed on small labels on the goods. A customer gets goods he needs
from the shelves. This is known as self-service. Of course, you can always ask for
help from the supermarket shop assistants.
When you enter a supermarket, you take a basket to carry the goods you will
buy. If you want to buy a lot of things, you will need a trolley. A trolley is like a
large basket on wheels. You can push it along the aisles, choose what you want
from the shelves and put it into your trolley. A supermarket often provides a more
comfortable environment for shopping than a market that is usually wet and dirty.
As a result, many people usually buy more goods than they need when they visit a
supermarket.
