 　　Idiom:

　　Pull your weight ( try your best )
　　Hit the book：
　　Fitness
　　Gossip
　　Bat an eyelash
　　Hard-earned money
　　Demise1
　　Transaction
　　Magazines used to be covetable2. They cover any and every topic under the sun. There are travel magazines, fitness magazines and gossip magazines. There are magazines dedicated3 to food, fashion, an activity, a destination, a product. People before never really thought twice, nor batted an eyelash when grabbing one to buy from the newsstands. But with the internet, is it still worth it to spend our hard-earned money on these glossies4? If video killed the radio star, will the internet be the print media’s demise? Is the magazine business dwindling5 down?
