1. (2023高二上·信阳开学考) 阅读理解

My sister recently started a blog, and I wanted to gift her a book on writing—"Elements of Style". There are many websites that sell books online in India, and I will list down the information about this book. My friend told me that Amazon. com sells this book for $7. 00, which is Rs. 350（350卢比）. Let's see if I will get something close to that price or not.

Rediff Books. The first site I discovered was Rediff Books. I was able to find this book easily on this site, and there were three different choices of these. The top result was the hardcover（精装本）, which was priced at Rs. 2, 831. They have the paperback edition（平装本as well, which was priced at very reasonable Rs. 191； only one problem- they would take 45business days to ship

NBC India. Next, I went to the site of NBC India, and found the book there too. They had a list price on the paperback edition of Rs. 366, and the picture of the book was exactly like the one I have. The price and picture pleased me quite a bit, but the results page did not show me the shipping days

Flip Kart. I have heard of Flip Kart before, but never actually used it. They had this book listed at Rs. 175, and they said it would be shipped in 4-6 business days. This was a paperback edition that was printed in 2006, and it looked quite promising

Amazon. com. Amazon. com can ship books to India. They charge another $3. 00 for shipping one. They said that it can take anywhere from18 to 31 business days

After going through the information, I felt that Flip Kart is the best one, and I went ahead and ordered the book. I hope it reaches within the stated time, and is in good condition.
