Most people think that the best store is one with very expensive goods. It’s 【1】 great if you have a pocket full of money and can buy something in one. How wonderful to be able to come home with an expensive computer, a latest iPod or a designer dress!

But have you ever heard of “dollar stores”? As the name 【2】, in dollar stores everything costs a dollar or less. You find them in the US and many other western countries. In dollar stores there is a 【3】 variety（品种）and everything is affordable.

If you go into a clothes shop you find clothes. If you go into a car showroom you see cars. But in a dollar store who knows what you will find?

There’s always a 【5】 in a dollar store.

Why are dollar stores so cheap? It’s because they’re full of stock that hasn’t sold in other stores. Clothes that were last year’s fashion; books that won’t sell; inventions for the kitchen that didn’t catch on. You may find that you don’t want these either. But, even if you don’t want to buy, they are great places to look around—rather like 【6】. And remember, nothing costs more than a dollar!
