The fact that makes online shopping more appealing is that customers can get detailed information about a product
easily. It helps fussy buyers to purchase a product after a good search. They can also compare various models,
brands, and prices. Shoppers can make a good comparison of the things they want to buy because companies
display the whole range of products in order to attract customers with different tastes and needs. Sometimes price
comparisons are also available online. Large online shopping sites usually offer store comparisons. Through online
tracking, online customers can check the order status and the quality of the products. Moreover, online shopping
does not put much pressure on customers because when people go shopping, they may face such problems as sales
attendants trying to influence them to buy the products. Another advantage is that customers do not have to stand in
queues at checkouts to pay for the products they have bought.

Read the passage.
Technically, all books on psychology would say that there are three kinds of memory: (1) Episodic memory, (2)
Semantic memory, and (3) Procedural memory. Episodic memory is our memory of events, situations, and places of
our past. For instance, when we are asked about our first day at school, we think back and try to recall how old we
were, who took us to school, what the name of the school was, whether we cried silently of aloud, etc. Similarly, when
wishing to talk about a memorable family vacation, we draw upon our episodic memory to recall as much as possible
all the details of that vacation.
Semantic memory refers to all of our knowledge of the world around us. For instance, we know that cats and dogs
are four-legged animals but at the same time we know that they are not the same. In the same way, we know that
milk, coffee, and tea are liquid but one is different from the other two. We also know that fire is hot and ice is cold.
Then, we are taught and we learn that two times two is four; five minus three leaves two; the molecules formula for
water is H20; the chemical formula for the common salt is NaCl; and many, many more.
