(cars, trains, and boats) stopped. People couldn’t see, and some walked onto the railroad tracks

December 9, the wind came and the fog went away. But after that, even more people got sick.
Many of them died.

Many years ago, people used to buy what they needed from stores and markets.
Now where would you go if you wanted to buy all these goods at one time? Ask anybody,
and he would probably say "you'd better go to the supermarket". A supermarket is a
special kind of market. It is usually much larger than an ordinary store. In a supermarket,
you can buy all kinds of food, household, products and daily necessities. In a store, a
customer is served by a storekeeper but in a supermarket, the goods are arranged on rows
of shelves along the aisles. The prices are printed on small labels on the goods. A
customer gets goods he needs from the shelves. This is known as self-service. Of course,
you can always ask for help from the supermarket shop assistants.
When you enter a supermarket, you take a basket to carry the goods you will buy. If
you want to buy a lot of things, you will need a trolley. A trolley is like a large basket on
wheels. You can push it along the aisles, choose what you want from the shelves and put
it into your trolley. A supermarket often provides a more comfortable environment for
shopping than a market that is usually wet and dirty. As a result, many people usually buy
more goods than they need when they visit a supermarket.
