三、阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。（共5小题，计10分）
On November 11, there is a holiday created by Chinese people for singles (单身人士). It is known as Singles’ Day. It has become the biggest online shopping day in the world. Tmall (天猫), Taobao and many other online shopping sites offer huge discounts (折扣) on this day to attract shoppers. This year’s sales reached 253.97 billion yuan.
There are similar shopping days in the United States. The most well-known of these is Black Friday. It always falls on the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. On this day, stores offer special deals, just like on Singles’ Day.
On Black Friday, shoppers will wake up very early to wait in line at stores before they open. They might start waiting in line as early as 2 or 3 am. Sometimes the crowds will be so big that it is impossible to get inside the stores.
Another similar holiday is Cyber (网络的) Monday in the United States. This day always falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving. It is like Singles’ Day, since it is only for online shopping.
Personally, I don’t like any of these holidays. They place too much importance on buying things. I prefer to celebrate Buy Nothing Day. It is a “holiday” that falls on the same day as Black Friday. It is an international day of protest(抗议) to draw attention to the problem of over-consumption (消费过度). What do you think about these holidays
