閱讀下面的短文，選擇正確答案。

It's a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount of money，but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones will enjoy them．This concern is becoming greater and greater these days．Even so，there are several things that you can do to help.

Hit the sales． No one wants to get up at four o'clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal on Black Friday （the first Friday at Christmas time）．It's surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal．But sometimes it can be well worth．Many retailers offer specials all through the day．Some even offer online Black Friday specials，so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.

Read advertisements regularly． Once the Christmas shopping season is coming，retailers will be hungry for business．They will try their best to get us into the store．Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time．We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.

Shop online． Some of us don't like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift．Some of us don't like to go out in the cold at all，and then，we can do online shopping.

The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some specialty stores on the Internet．We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house．With traditional Christmas shopping，it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.

參考譯文

將圣誕開(kāi)銷控制在一定范圍內(nèi)是千百萬(wàn)個(gè)家庭年年不變的目標(biāo)，但為了讓心愛(ài)的人滿意，你還是可以承擔(dān)購(gòu)買禮物的費(fèi)用的?，F(xiàn)在，人們的焦慮越來(lái)越甚，即便如此，你還是可以做幾件事來(lái)幫助省錢的。

奔赴促銷商店。 沒(méi)人愿意為了黑色星期五（圣誕節(jié)期間的第一個(gè)周五）的購(gòu)物促銷就趕在早上4點(diǎn)起床去爭(zhēng)取一件便宜貨。鼓起勇氣、冒著嚴(yán)寒出門搶購(gòu)便宜貨確實(shí)很難，但有時(shí)這樣做也很值得。許多零售商在這一天都會(huì)全天推出特價(jià)商品。有些甚至在網(wǎng)上提供黑色星期五特價(jià)商品。因此，我們還是可以在這一天買到很多便宜貨的。（“黑色星期五”是指感恩節(jié)之后的第一天。每年的11月最后一個(gè)周四是感恩節(jié)，歐美各大商家都關(guān)門歇業(yè)。周五商店開(kāi)業(yè)，標(biāo)志著圣誕節(jié)購(gòu)物季的開(kāi)始。之所以稱“黑色”是因?yàn)樯碳彝眉t色表示虧損，而到這一天業(yè)績(jī)會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)為盈利，并用黑色墨水記賬，所以叫做“黑色星期五”。）

經(jīng)常閱讀廣告。 每年圣誕購(gòu)物季來(lái)臨前夕，商家們都會(huì)渴望大賺一票。他們會(huì)絞盡腦汁吸引顧客上門。請(qǐng)時(shí)不時(shí)留意一下大零售商每周印發(fā)的促銷廣告。我們很可能幸運(yùn)地發(fā)現(xiàn)不同商家促銷的同種商品，這樣就可以貨比三家了。

網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物。 如果不想在商店之間來(lái)回奔波，以買到最低價(jià)的心儀商品；如果干脆不愿冒著嚴(yán)寒出門，那就試試網(wǎng)購(gòu)吧。

在網(wǎng)上，我們不僅能瀏覽所有大零售商的網(wǎng)店，還能瀏覽某些專賣店，甚至足不出戶就正好找到我們想要的價(jià)格最優(yōu)的東西。如果采用傳統(tǒng)的圣誕購(gòu)物方式，要想買到心儀的禮品，通常會(huì)花費(fèi)較長(zhǎng)的等待時(shí)間。
