A shopping center is a place where many different shops and stores are collected under one roof. You can buy everything there and there are also banks, restaurants and, sometimes, a post office.
There are other places in the United States which are called five-and –ten-cent stores because they used to sell things for 5 to 10 cents. Today they sell almost anything and some of the things cost several dollars. Supermarkets are found in all the cities. They sell food and many other goods. You walk around the supermarket, choose the things you want, put them into a special basket prepared by the store and pay for them all together at the door. Supermarkets often stay open later than other stores.
Stores are usually open every day of the week except on Sunday. Some close on Saturdays in July and August.

解析：文章简要介绍了三种不同的购物去处--购物中心、5-10美分商店、超市的情况。购物中心融合了各种不同类型的商店，在那里可以买到各种各样的商品。5-10美分商店里出售的是一些便宜的小商品；大型超市提供食品和其它商品。
【小题1】根据第一段第一句“A shopping center is a place where many different shops and stores are collected under one roof.”可知，这些商店、超市在同一所大楼内，故选A。
【小题2】根据第二段“which are called five-and –ten-cent stores because they used to sell things for 5 to 10 cents”可知，这些5-10美分的商店，售卖的是价格在5-10美分之间的小东西，故选B。
【小题3】根据第二段“put them into a special basket prepared by the store and pay for them all together”可知，超市里有供客人放东西的篮子，故选D。
【小题4】文章主要介绍了一些商店的情况，像购物中心、5-10美分的小商店、大型的超市等，文章没有侧重讲哪一种商店，A项片面；B、D两项未提及；故选C。
