For traditional stores, online shopping has become a cause for concern in a difficult retail environment.
The Internet is 31 more spending than ever. 32 , it also makes it easier for consumers to compare

thousand years. When that happens all plants and animals will die because there will be no seasonal changes and
the rain will stop. Others believe that humans will live to see another 37 when all living things will be
frozen to death. Some say that civilization will be vaporized when a mountain-size rock from space hit the Earth
in a 38 impact, or when the sun explodes. 39 , life goes on. Most people do not seem 40 .

Many people have trouble getting to sleep at night. Other people wake up often during the night. Still others
wake up very early in the morning and can’t get back to sleep again. These people all have insomnia. That is, they
don’t sleep well. People with insomnia are very tired during the day and they are often unhappy, anxious, or just
sleepy. This may have a bad effect on their family life or their work. It can also be dangerous to other people. For
example, a bus driver with insomnia may fall asleep while driving.
There are two types of insomnia. The first is caused by thoughts and feelings. It happens to almost everyone
at some point. You may be worried about a problem, or you may be nervous about an exam. You keep thinking
and thinking, and your brain won’t go to sleep. But this usually doesn’t last long. When the problem is solved or
the exam is over, the insomnia usually goes away, too.
The second type of insomnia has physical causes. You may be drinking too much coffee or tea. Even a small
amount of coffee can cause insomnia in some people. Your evening meal habits can also affect your sleep. A large
meal late in the evening can keep you awake. A lot of alcohol in the evening is also not a good idea. It may help
you fall asleep, but later you may not sleep well. Smoking is another habit that can cause insomnia. In fact, the
nicotine in cigarettes wakes you up.
In general, you’ll sleep better if you lead a healthy life. Exercise is good for your health in general, and it
helps you get a good night’s sleep. A regular bedtime and waking time are also important. It’s easier for your body
to fall asleep at about the same time every night.

People tend to buy stock shares if the economy is robust. Otherwise they put their money in a savings
account, where it earns interests. Those who are more adventurous may choose to invest in real estate, hoping to
reap an enormous profit for their investment. If you have to go to work everyday and do not have the time to
watch your portfolio, perhaps the best way to make your money grow is to invest in mutual funds. There are many
kinds of mutual funds, and some are more aggressive than others, but they are all managed by experts called fund
managers who use their judgment as well as experience to decide where to put your money to avoid unnecessary
risks. Of course you pay a fee for their service and expertise, but in the hands of a seasoned fund manager, and
