Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Local businessmen are increasingly facing competition from online retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues , which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage. "Their overhead is lower, but they don't offer a service like we do," Pollock said. Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales. "We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it on line," he said. According to the state comptroller's office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses. In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. "You have a larger selection and it's easier to compare prices." Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping on line. "Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell," he said. "Before I started shopping on line I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping on line saved me from having to buy from Dell." Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal. "'d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I'm getting it," she said. Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information on line no matter how safe the site claims it is. Question: Mitch Wilson prefers to build his personal compu- ter by shopping on line because _ . Options: A: he can easily get what he needs at a lower price B: he can not get the price at traditional businessman C: he is not satisfied with the service of local busi- nessman D: the quality of Dell is not satisfying

(Question)
Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt plans to send a message to rival Tyson Gay by breaking the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday. Bolt, who won gold in the 100m,200m and 4*100m relay in reord times at the Beijing Olympics last year, is determined to use the Crystal Palace event to crush the morale of his main rival for gold at next month's World Athletics Championships in Berlin. The 22-year-old is slowly returning to peak form after posting 19.59 sec for the 200m in Lausanne earlier this month and clocking a time of 9.79 sec over 100m in cold, rainy conditions in Paris on Friday. Despite Bolt's impressive times, Gay still believes he has the beating of the Jamaican. But Bolt insists there is no one in the sport who scares him and he will prove the point in south London this weekend. Although Bolt believes he is only running at 85 percent at the moment while he recovers from injuries suffered in a recent car crash in Jamaica, he sees no reason why he can't break his world record 100m time of 9.69 seconds. However he won't get the chance to _ Gay in the 100m in London as the American is only running in the 200m, which Bolt is not competing in, so he will have to settle for underlining his own ability. "You never know what is possible. I will give my best either way. My friends are saying I'm bringing the rain wherever I go but we will see on Friday." While Bolt would love to make a big impact in London, he knows the main event is the World Championships. "The London Grand Prix will show me where I'm at and what I need to do. After, we can analyse what I need to do ahead of the World Championships." Question: Which of the following is true? Options: A: Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt broke the world 100m record in the London Grand Prix on Friday. B: Bolt will not compete in the 200m in London because of Gay's impressive times. C: Bolt won 3 gold medals at the Beijing Olympic Games at the age of 22. D: Bolt suffered a car crash in London recently.
