Returns & Refund Guarantee
The “Returns & Refund Guarantee” is a promise provided by sellers for every item they sell on DHgate.com. When you receive an item that was bought and paid for on our site, and you find it is not as described or is of low quality, you can contact the seller to resolve these problems. DHgate will offer additional assistance if the seller is not cooperative.
Scope
The following points should not be included in the “Returns & Refund Guarantee”:
▲The seller didn't make any promise.
▲The seller can provide evidence to prove the items are as described. ▲You didn't contact the seller within the promised time.
▲You have released the payment to the seller before asking DHgate for help. Sellers are able to set up the following promises: Returning items for any reason
Buyers can return items for a refund within a specific date which has been set up by sellers, such as 3 days, and 7 days from the day when the items are received. The items' receiving date is the date that is indicated on the shipping carrier's official website. Buyers should prepay any return shipping cost, which will be given back to the buyers after the seller receives the items as long as the items are returned in the same exact condition as when they were delivered.
Returns or Refunds accepted if the product has quality issues
Buyers can return the items for a refund when they are not as described or possess quality issues by communicating directly with the seller. The seller is responsible for the return shipping cost.
Buyers can get a refund and keep the items when the items are not as described or possess quality issues by negotiating directly with sellers.

Being “young” is associated with all the good things in life—beauty, hope, and energy. But youth also has negative associations—
impulsiveness, troublemaking, and irresponsibility. This negative side seems to be what society focuses on more, which is why young people have mostly been considered as idle and difficult.
But when it comes to Generation Z—those born between 1995 and 2010—this_stereotype doesn't seem to apply anymore.
In Japan, for example, Gen Z-ers are less likely to buy on impulse, but take into consideration more a product's true value. “They're looking at the companies, not just the products,” Masahiko Uotani, CEO of Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido, told Bloomberg. “They're asking, ‘Are they really delivering value to the society? Are they promoting diversity and inclusiveness?’”
Gen Z-ers are also more grounded than we've expected them to be. According to a recent survey by Bank of America, more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years. And they're not just saying it—they are willing to make sacrifices for it, including getting a second job and saving money for a down payment instead of spending it on a vacation.
“Despite their young age, this group is pragmatic and actively planning for
their future,” D.Steve Boland, head of Consumer Lending at Bank of America, told
USA Today. “They have a clear vision of how they are willing to help themselves
in order to make it happen.”
Social issues are also at the center of concern of Gen Z-ers, who take themselves as a changing force of the world. In India, for example, young people who have just reached the voting age are eager to vote for a new leader who is capable of solving problems that matter the most to them, including pollution, unemployment and women's safety.
As a Gen Z-er yourself, what is your plan for the future?
本文是一篇说明文。Z一代是指在1995年和2010年之间出生的人,这一代人在消费方面比较理智。他们比我们想象中更理性、务实,他们对未来有清晰的设想,这颠覆了人们对年轻人的传统看法。
4.What do the underlined words “this stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Being young is good.
B.Gen Z-ers are born after 1995.
C.The traditional poor impressions on the youth. D.The associations with young people. 答案:C
解析:指代关系题。根据第一段第二、三句可知,社会更关注与年轻人相关的负面情况,通常,年轻人被认为是懒散的和难相处的。结合画线部分所在句可知,此处表述这种刻板印象不再适用于Z一代。故画线部分指的是上文提到的人们对年轻人的传统的、糟糕的印象,故选C。
5.We can infer from the third paragraph that ________. A.Gen Z-ers in Japan are picky B.Gen Z-ers are self-centered
C.Gen Z-ers care little about products D.Gen Z-ers are wise when shopping 答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的内容,尤其是“Gen Z-ers are less likely to buy on impulse...They're looking at the companies, not just the products”可知,Z一代不太可能冲动购物,他们会更多地考虑产品的真正价值,由此可推知,Z一代在购物时是明智的,故正确答案为D。
6.What's D.Steve Boland's attitude to the Gen Z-ers? A.Approving. C.Indifferent. 答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词D.Steve Boland定位到文章第五段,根据该段内容可知,D.Steve Boland认为尽管Z一代很年轻,但这代人务实且积极地规划他们的未来,他们有清晰的设想并愿意努力去实现它;由此可推知,D.Steve Boland对于Z一代
B.Negative. D.Critical.
是持赞同的态度的,故正确答案为A。
7.Which of the following words may best describe the Gen Z-ers? A.Confident and independent. B.Visionary and responsible. C.Persistent and down-to-earth. D.Active and creative. 答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段可知,Z一代会积极规划他们的未来并努力实现自己的设想,由此可知,他们是有远见的;又根据倒数第二段的内容,尤其是第一句“Social issues are also...of the world”可知,社会问题也是Z一代关注的中心,并且他们认为自己是改变世界的力量,由此可推知Z一代是有责任感的。故正确答案为B。
