Chen, who didn’t buy any expensive things online, had no idea where her money went. She bought lots of things on discount days such as November 11th and December 12th, and she bought many home things.While many like Chen feel sorry for their spending too much, some are trying to spend as little as possible. Zhu Shiwei, 26, a teacher from Jinhua, spent a total of 489 yuan last year. Since she posted her shopping lists on Sina Weibo, she’s been asked by many fellow microbloggers how to save money.

When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa—Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers on its head. Bunny almost mistook it for a dog. “Are you a reindeer(訓鹿人)?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?”“I was until I got airsick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get airsick? I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”“Not me, I’m afraid. It makes me frightened. I always feel sick when it es to flying,” replied Ralph. “But every one wanted me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job.
