Shopping habit in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the twentieth century. As early as in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a main street.

Main street was always in the heart of a town. This street was (1) lined on both sides with many (2) various businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered (3) services.

These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing ships. (4) but in the 1960s, a change took place. Too many automobiles had crowded into main street (5) while too fee parking places were available for shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces (6) outside the city limits. Open space is

what their car-driving customers needed. And open space is what they got (7) when the first shopping centre was built. Shopping centre, (8) or malls, started as a collection of small new stores away from congested city centres. (9) attracted by hundreds of free parking spaces, customers were drawn away from (10) downtown areas to outlying malls. And the growing (11) popularity of shopping centres (12) led in turn to the building of bigger and better-stocked stores. (13) by the early 1970s, many shipping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In additional to providing the (14) convenience of one-stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks (15) with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainments.
