28、lidays, and we shopped overly online, where returns are between two and five times more likely than that from stores. Where does it all go? Take the blanket I bought on holiday sale for example.

29、anket!

30、worth the cost of shipping back and paying someone to inspect, clean, repair of test? Experts estimate that retails （零售商） throw away about 25e of their returns.

32、As companies compete on flexible return policies, technology is also slowly playing a part: helping shoppers buy the right-size sweater or picture a new blanket inside their room.

Christina DePasquales.BFriends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic talent, travel to perilous places-the jungles of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the wat

My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke(中风
45、). To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, Id have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it,
46、no bucket list was complete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt.My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a busine
47、ss trip to China. After wed toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan(长雪橇).Before the stroke it would have seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon(高音喇叭)screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash.
48、 Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel comeback.In the years since then, Ive traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out-no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. Whats more, saying yes to travel keeps me connected to mysel
