wandering 和 hang out 都有闲逛的意思,它们的区别是什么?

It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.
I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.
Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.
One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.
Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.

for most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. soon, that will change. electronic commerce is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. there will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from fraud will be harder. many ***s therefore want to extend high street regulations to the electronic world. but politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.
　　consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the *** takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs, or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. but ***s cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence in their country is on the screen. other countries have regulators, but the rules of consumer protection differ, as does enforcement. even where a clear right to compensation exists, the online catalogue customer in tokyo, say, can ha rdly go to new york to extract a refund for a dud purchase.
　　one answer is for ***s to cooperate more: to recognize each other’s rules. but that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. and plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober states to accept. there is, however, an alternative. let the electronic businesses do the “regulation” themselves. they do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.
　　in electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. ***s, too, may compete to be trusted. for instance, customers ordering medicines online may prefer to buy from the united states because they trust the rigorous screening of the food and drug administration; or they may decide that the fda’s rules are too strict, and buy from switzerland instead.
consumers will need to use their judgment. but precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than consumers of the normal sort--- and the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain noisily when a company lets them down. in this way, at least, the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.
小题1:according to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?

a．self – regulation by the business.	b．strict consumer protection laws.
c．close international cooperation.	d．*** protection.

小题2:in case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?

a．refuse to pay for the purchase.	b．go to the seller and ask for a refund.
c．appeal to consumer protection law.	d．complain about it on the internet.

小题3:in the author’s view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world .

a．international cooperation would be much more frequent

b．consumers could easily seek *** protection

c．a good reputation is a great advantage in competition

d．it would be easy for consumers to complain

小题4:we can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the fda in the united states is .

a．very quick

b．very cautious

c．very slow

d．rather careless

小题5:if a customer buys something that does not meet his expectation, what is the advantage of dealing through electronic commerce over the present normal one?

a．it will be easier for him to return the goods he is not satisfied with.

b．it will be easier for him to attain the refund from the seller.

c．it will be easier for him to get his complaints heard by other consumers.

d．it will be easier for him to complain about this to the ***.

One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.”
