Parcel lockers, also called smart lockers or package lockers, are secure, automated storage units in centralized locations. They are revolutionizing how goods can be delivered and received. People can pick up a package from a locker at a time that suits them, in a convenient location near their residence or workplace.

Yet for all their advantages, parcel lockers are still far from being widely adopted by online shoppers. Many consumers still opt to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don't know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it.

Even though locker usage is still low, companies and government agencies hope more shoppers will try it as they learn about the benefits. Using parcel lockers can help reduce traffic from delivery vehicles and lower our carbon footprint, which is better for the Earth. So, why not give easyLocker a try?

21. What keeps some shoppers from trying a parcel locker?

A. Inconvenient locations.          B. Environmental concerns.

C. Inefficiency of delivery.          D. Unawareness of its presence.

22. What must users of easyLockers do?

A. Enter a special combination to collect their parcels.

B. Collect their parcels within 24 hours.

C. Leave the locker unlocked before leaving.

D. Inform the deliveryman of their location.

23. Who are the targeted readers of the text?

A. Locker producers.

B. Delivery personnel.

C. Online purchasers.

D. Potential investors.

Barber drove over 1,000 miles in the region over three days last week, to Brevard and beyond, finding the shots, talking with rescue workers and residents. But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm's destruction and the beginnings of recovery. "I started to feel the outsider in me becomes the insider," he says.

His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. At a Marion
