    "Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao?", says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.

Taobao, China's largest online shopping site(网址), has become an important part of Wang Lin's life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop on line than men. Clothing and home-use products are the most popular on line.

It was reported that more than 900 billion(十亿) yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.

Taobao means "looking for treasure" in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.

Four days passed, but no one came to see Mr. Green. The boy thought no one would come, so he burnt (烧掉) the piece of paper that evening. The next afternoon, a man knocked at the door.

"Where is your father?" he asked. The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."

The man was very surprised. "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?" he asked.
