"雙十一(Double 11)"又要來了！這個在中國原本屬于單身一族的"光棍節(jié)(Single's Day)"，早已變成了全球范圍內最盛大的"網購狂歡節(jié)(online shopping spree)"。隨著2017年雙十一的臨近，各電商平臺的促銷(promotion)正如火如荼地展開。但很多顧客抱怨，如今直接打折(direct percent-off discounts)很少見，他們不得不花好幾個小時研究各種不同的促銷方法(promotion methods)——預售(prelaunch)、減免(money-off)、價保(price protection)等等。

為履行上述職權，監(jiān)察委員會可以采取談話（interview）、訊問（interrogation）、詢問（questioning）、查詢（inquiry）、凍結（freezing）、調�。�collecting and obtaining）、查封（sealing）、扣押（seizure）、搜查（search）、勘驗檢查（inspection and examination）、鑒定（identification）、留置（detention）等措施。

事發(fā)班級為彩虹班，均為1歲半到2歲的小朋友（children aged from 18 months to 24 months）。攜程計算機(上海)有限公司開辦了僅招收攜程員工子女的親子園，并委托上�！冬F(xiàn)代家庭》雜志社讀者服務部(為了孩子學苑)日常管理運營。事發(fā)后，攜程人力資源管理部門正在代管親子園。
