the airport to meet my cousin.If it were not because my father ordered me to do so,I would not go out on such a hot day.Fortunately,I was in an air-conditioned car,and the windows were all dark-colored,so I felt cool.
There was also a terrible traffic jam that day.Sometimes the car stopped for a long time then started on for a while.The car stopped again and I felt bored.Suddenly a bright color caught my eye.A girl riding a bicycle stopped beside my window.She was really a nice girl wearing lemon yellow T-shirt,egg yellow skirt,bright yellow shoes,and even her bicycle was orange yellow.She was so charming.Oh,she turned to me,smiled and waved her hands.Oh,her smile was so sweet.I smiled and waved back to her.At this moment,the car started.She was left behind,I doubted why the nice girl smiled and waved to me.I had never met her.
Because of the traffic jam,the car stopped again.She came to stop beside me again.And the same thing happened again.I began to get grateful to the traffic jam.I wanted to open the window and say hello to her.But thinking of the hot weather,I stopped my hands.Again and again,the same thing happened at last,I decided to open the window when the car stopped next time.But things do not happen according to man’s mind.To my great disappointment,the car went on smoothly,and never stopped before it reached the airport.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Almost every woman likes going shopping.Personally speaking,I enjoy shopping in the U.K.,even if it’s just window shopping.The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U.K.much more than shopping in China.
Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online,so the products can be sent home directly.As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores,shopping experiences are rather free and open.Different from that in China,most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question.It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone.Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color,they never exaggerate(夸大)their
opinions on it,as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments.
Besides,each brand has a refund policy(退款政策).The policy may be different from one another,but a cooling-off period of14to28days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought.Within the cooling-off period,customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt(有效发票)and unused products with all the tags.It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales.As for customers,it is also good,for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes.
The U.K.is a modern country with traditions.While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry,it also provides80for its tourists and customer.It fully deserves the title of“Shopping Paradise”.
54.What is the most important reason why the writer likes shopping in the U.K.?
________________________________________________
55.In the writer’s opinion,why are shopping experiences free and open in the U.K.?
________________________________________________
56.What does the underlined word“them”refer to?

57.Do store staff usually help customers fetch things or give comments in the U.K.?

59.What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph?
It also provides___________________for its tourists and customers.
